Levrone Transformation, Week 6, Back & Hamstrings • LevroneReport.com

Back workouts are getting interesting. I have the thickness now to where I can start chiseling and refining the muscles. I do this by implementing a variety of hand positions on the pulling exercises, as you’ll see in the three back videos below.

It’s best to train hamstrings fresh. Some people do quads and hamstrings in the same workout – they put everything into quads and lose out on hamstrings. Definitely do your leg curls fresh to handle heavier weights, like I did in the two leg videos below.

I’m blown away by the names you guys are coming up with for the supplement. I just found out that because Extreme Full Blown is an existing supplement, unfortunately Full Blown can’t be used, even as part of a bigger name. Also found out that M3 can’t appear by itself within the name because of copyright issues. That’s okay, you’ve given me tons of awesome names – it’s going to be hard to choose.

I’m putting up the poll tomorrow. Feel free to post names all the way up until I launch the poll. I’ll be watching.

Levrone Transformation, Sled/Shrugs/Hyper Extensions • LevroneReport.com

Mixing it up a little with some power sled sprints, shoulder shrugs and hyper extensions for lower back.

The sled builds power and explosive acceleration, and is an intense anaerobic cardio workout. Harder than it looks – I had to catch my breath after that last set. If you don’t have a sled, try working some explosive sprints or hill climbs into your workout.

After you check out these videos, please let me know what you think my supplement should be called. As I mentioned, it’s NO-based, with a unique blend of natural anti-fatigue elements, mood elevators and flushing agents.

It makes me feel heated up, pumped and focused, and it allows me to get through ridiculously long, hard workouts. The blend is awesome. I make no such promises about the marketing – that’s where you come in.

Put up your product name idea right here on this thread in the next 24 hours. I’ll pick my top 5 then I’ll put it to a vote on this blog. Winner gets a free three-month supply of my formula and a personal phone call of gratitude from me.

Levrone Transformation, Week 6, Legs • LevroneReport.com

Here are the leg photos from Sunday. Check out three clips below from today’s leg workout.

The leg strength is starting to happen. Ended my squat workout with three sets of 275 lbs and hit 405 lbs x 6 on my last set of hack squats. These numbers are way up from last time. Trained a little lighter than before on leg extensions and lying down curls. Shows I spent more energy on mass building squats and didn’t have as much left for the machines. Fine by me.

RX Muscle challenged me to take a steroid test yesterday in a radio interview with Dave Palumbo and John Romano. I agreed to take any test, as long as it was credible, both now and at the end of the eight weeks. Sooner the better. They’ll be putting something together hopefully in the next week. Whatever goes down, you guys will be first to know – I’ll be posting details of the whole experience, right here.

After you check out the leg clips and full program from today, listen to the interview and check out the Levrone Agrees To Steroid Test! announcement on rxmuscle.com. They’re skeptical, but both Dave and John said if I test clean it will be good for the sport of bodybuilding. I guess that’s good news for bodybuilding, because I’m definitely clean.

Levrone Transformation, End Of Week 5 Photo • Levrone Report.com

Here’s the photo from end of week five. This was a week of shocking the muscles, lots of massive workouts, including three for legs. Reached important strength milestones on bench and behind the neck press. Cranked out my first squats. Banged out an intensive biceps program today that I’ll put up tomorrow.

Weighed 226 lbs yesterday. More definition, more size. That sums up this week’s gains. I gained significant weight this week – mostly in the legs.

The green veins are out – I’m at my leanest and biggest since I began five weeks ago. I’ll try to post a legs photo tomorrow so you can start following leg progress in the coming weeks.

The Finger Man video was something new and unusual. Most of you responded in a respectful, open-minded way – we’ve got a great community here, high-quality minds out there from all over the world and we’re all on this journey together. Whether you agree with statics or not, I hope it got you thinking about new approaches to training AND attitude, independence and commitment. I’ll post Part Two early this week.

WEEKS ONE THROUGH FIVE

Levrone Transformation, Chest/Shoulders/Tris • LevroneReport.com

This bench workout was mainly a test to see if I could bench a solid 315 lbs. The rule of thumb is if you can do 225 lbs x 10, you can bench 315 lbs. I repeated the set four times to verify I was at a solid 315 lbs max, then I put up the actual 315 lbs twice – no sweat. Probably could have done a few more. This is a good sign. When I get my legs a little stronger on the squats I’ll have the complete foundation to start adding serious muscle.

Here are two more clips below of the remaining chest exercises, followed by a write up of today’s full workout. At the end of clip 3 I couldn’t hold back from bustin’ out one of my favorite moves.

Thanks for your support. It’s great to know that many of you are following along with the same workouts. I’ll be posting End Of Week 5 photos tomorrow, early, so check it out.

The Finger Man, Pt. 1: Static Contractions • LevroneReport.com

The Finger Man is a static contraction and raw food guru. His basement is a personal training compound with equipment he built himself or altered with a blowtorch and a saw.

The Finger Man is not big, but he’s strong. He trains for unworldly tendon and muscle strength and a lean, shredded physique. He taught me lessons about training and diet that I’ll never forget. I caught it all on video and I’ll be showing the whole adventure in three parts.

The Finger Man is a visionary. Whether or not you agree with his training and diet methods, we can all be inspired by his independence, creativity, education and fierce commitment to strength and health. This adventure is the first of many we’ll take on this blog in an effort to broaden our perspective on training techniques around the world.

Here’s Part One: Static Contractions

Levrone Transformation, Chest/Shoulders/Tris/Legs • LevroneReport.com

Started this morning with a killer leg workout. Squats, leg extensions and lying down curls.

In the afternoon I attacked chest, shoulders and tris. Here are highlights from the afternoon workout followed by a write up of the full day’s workout program.

I’m feeling it. Tired but I want you guys to see this – I’m putting this up before I crash. These three clips are just a small fraction of an insane workout, as you’ll see in the write-up at the bottom.

By the time I got to the last set of incline dumbells I didn’t feel like talking. I had to focus. I’m just looking at these freakin’ things thinking what am I getting myself into? I remember kicking the dumbells up with my knees repeatedly, struggling to get ’em up, but once I did, I had it – six reps. No matter how hard it gets, you push through, give it your best shot.

Thanks again for your support. Your involvement on this blog inspires me to push myself harder and harder. Goodnight.

No biceps today which may seem to go against what I said earlier about always training biceps with back. However, this week is all about shocking the muscles. My biceps are pretty shot today, I’m going to shock them by training them with chest, shoulder and tris tomorrow.
