    Transformation #5 Cardio Rain Run/6 Twist/Chest/Tri/Shoulders • Contest Winner

    February 5th, 2010

    We had a LOT of comments on the coach videos, some positive, some negative. Anytime someone challenges us to work our cores, it’s controversial. Human nature pulls us toward the impressive looking muscles, chest and arms. Many don’t want to be reminded to work the core.

    What Coach Dan is teaching is awesome, and I want you to try both exercises. Get grounded like a tree trunk, solid and strong as a wall. Agile and balanced, in addition to looking great.

    Now, back to the Levrone-style training. Ran almost 4 miles in the LA rain. Banged out a killer Chest, Tri, Shoulders, see it below. Also added the 6 Twist as a nod to coach Dan, and core strength in general.

    Also announcing the winners of the last YouTube contest. The announcement is in the third video – make sure you watch all three. Wait, did I say winners…plural? I guess I did. Check it out.

    Have a great Super Bowl weekend.

    Inside The Mind of Coach Dan #2• The 6 Twist

    February 1st, 2010

    Here’s another challenge courtesy of Coach Dan. The faint of heart need not apply. Core strength and abs. Like Coach Dan says: “If you have to do more than 12 reps, you’re doing wrong.” I tried it, and I can tell you he’s right.

    I’ll be working the 6 Twist and Shoulder Walk into my routine. I’ll be on the lookout for more exercises like these and share them with you right here.

    These exercises are not about being merely a bodybuilder who stands there – but an athlete that’s able to move.

    The point of Transformation #5 is to achieve both. To combine the power, balance and agility of a warrior, with the brute strength, symmetry, mass and definition of a bodybuilder at the 220 lbs level.

    Thanks Coach Dan for sharing these new routines. @Everyone, please let us all know how these exercises are working out for you.

    I’ll be announcing the winners of the Train With Levrone video contest shortly. Thanks for all of your outstanding contributions.

    Levrone Transformation #5 • First Back & Biceps Routine

    January 27th, 2010

    Here’s the full back and biceps routine to round out the full program for a lean, mean 220 lbs. Destroyed the biceps today and loved every minute of it.

    Now you have it all: chest, shoulders, tris, legs, abs – we’ve talked about cardio and will continue to do so – and, today back and biceps. Refer to the past few posts to get caught up if you’ve missed them.

    We’re getting into more details in these video. Hand position and movement. Work these details into your training carefully. Listen to your body, and remember that bodybuilding is mostly about mastering fundamentals.

    Now we’re locked and loaded with a full training program, it’s time to really go to work with consistency and dedication. Plus, we’ll throw in some unexpected moves, shock the muscles, have some fun and try new approaches – cause that’s what the endless transformation is all about.


    Levrone Transformation #5 • Cardio & Abs

    January 25th, 2010
    The TRAIN WITH LEVRONE YouTube contest is closed as of midnight tonight. Thanks to everyone who participated. The winner will be announced shortly.

    I’m a week into this new transformation and my resolve is extreme. My pledge is to get ripped to the bone – truly shredded, powerful, balanced. No turning back now, I’m seeing it clearly and I’m pursuing the vision.

    It’s not enough to talk about visualization. It’s not enough simply to know about it. You have to utilize it. Every day, several times a day. That’s the weapon of champions. It’s your weapon now, too.

    I’m doing high reps because my body is telling me to do high reps. I have explained why in past posts, but the proof will be in the results.

    Let me tell you a secret: at the champion level, the true training program – the real one behind the scenes – is often unorthodox, unexpected, unique. It would leave most doctors and trainers scratching their heads because it’s closer to art than science.

    Bruce Lee taught of a higher level, where you find your own path, your own way of training, which is ultimately a form of expression, not merely a chemical experiment in a lab.

    As I share my training with you, I’m trying to let you into that world and expose you to my techniques. Ultimately you will find your own way, and combine bits and pieces from everything that you’ve learned.

    And as always, you are welcome to share your wisdom with us, at LevroneReport.com.

    Levrone Transformation #5, Workout #2, Legs

    January 23rd, 2010

    Banged out an awesome leg workout today for workout #2 on the quest for a lean, mean 220 lbs physique.

    Knowing you guys are watching always makes me perform better, especially during those last few reps where I’m really feeling the burn.

    All the past transformations were rites of passage, getting back into shape and putting myself to the test, but this new transformation has extra meaning.

    We’re bringing it all together and aggressively building the ideal physical state: strength, definition, conditioning.

    Watch this video before you hit the gym on leg day. Remember to keep your intensity level up, stay focused, and move through your workout efficiently like a champion. Stretch between each set to bring blood to the muscle.

    Breathe in and out during your reps, visualize, get it done, and go home victorious. Your ideal physique is yours for the taking. This is your time, and I’m in your corner. Let’s do this.

    January 21st, 2010

    Welcome to day one of the new quest to get down to a lean, mean 220 lbs. Now that I can bench 405 and squat 500, I’m ready to cut down to a balanced, spartan warrior physique that can handle anything.

    Today was about high reps, hard work, flexing and squeezing. Pumping the blood into the capillaries and working the cardio.

    Felt awesome to be back in the gym banging out a full workout for the LevroneReport.com.
