this part 4 of Kevin Levrone interview he shares the tricks and trade of
achieving paper thin skin for bodybuilding contest.
Paper thin skin can be a vital
factor in winning and losing a bodybuilding show. whether you are ripped to
shreds or jacked and tanned, if you plan to get on a bodybuilding stage you
need to have paper thin skin to ready show how defined your muscles are!
Having Low Body fat levels
One of the keys to achieving
paper thin skin in bodybuilding is to have low body fat levels especially closer
to the bodybuilding shows. The standard levels of body fat for a competitor on a
bodybuilding stage is around 5-6% if you really want to make an impact in the
show.
Diuretics
Diuretics are most commonly used
in getting the water out of the body so that have grainy and vascular look.
Diuretics are used to get ripped and aids in getting paper thin skin and thus
gives you more defined look.
Water and Sodium manipulation.
One must manipulate water and
sodium to avoid the body from holding water and sodium, which can give you that
watery look and thus takes way the details and sharpness of the physique.

Kevin Levrone 2017 India Tour
has been a delight to Kevin levrone fans specially his Indian fans. I had the
opportunity of being part of it and experiencing great seminar. I have been a
fan of Kevin levrone is he won the Night of champions. There was no social
media back then, No Facebook, no Instagram and no YouTube.
It was a surreal experience
meeting a legend and a role model for the first time. Kevin is a great champion
and a gentleman, he treats his fans with great respect and inspires them with
his words and action. I had a great opportunity to talk to him in length and
touching various topics right from night of champions to Arnold classics, his
diet and training Routine.
The audience also had some good
question and Kevin was very happy to answer them and was a good earning
experience. This article has the first part of the miniseries I will be
releasing from the seminar. Here is the part One of the seminar, where Kevin
talks about his training routine and teaches how different body types can train
to get the optimal results. Please do subscribe to my YouTube channel and the

I often get asked by new bee’s
in the gym lot of questions on diet, training and supplementation. One of the
question which a student of mine asked was “How to gain mass in your arm” well
I said bloody train them hard and train them heavy Boy!
He was in awe for moment and
said is it all that it takes build huge arms? I said yes, hell yeah. Let me
tell you my story or rather my experience of training arms more specifically
building biceps. My biceps have always responded to heavy training and more
importantly to barbell curls. Cheating is even better when it comes to arm
training. Here is a video where I demonstrate the raw biceps training workout
which will hit every muscle fiber I your arm. Please do subscribe to my channel
to get more training and dieting tips.
This was a question from one of my
viewer who never exercised and was significantly over weight. The problem with
most people is that they never realize that they are going over board and
putting on heaps of weight at later stage. I do understand and acknowledge that
focusing on fitness and health takes a back seat when you are in hustle to make
life better and provide for your family.
People put on weight for various
reason and often ignore the fact that it’s not always about looking good and
have a six-pack abs. it’s beyond that, I am not talking everyone should have a
great physique but more on the lines of being healthy and active in life.
Taking care of yourself and being
healthy and active and having a fit body is not limited celebrities or athletes.
Everyone should take time and pride in being healthy and fit, most importantly
be consistent. Well enough said about what is the problem now let’s see how we
can fix it.
I can guide you to get fit and stay in shape, but you must
help yourself! you need to be consistent in working out, straight on your diet
and shouldn't lose focus. Now let’s say you weight 105 kgs and you’re under 6
feet in height. It is quite too much if you don't exercise and have a very
sedentary life style. Another most overlooked factor is the age, as you grow
old you need to keep your weight under control.
I suggest you join a gym and
start working out ASAP.
Building muscle revolves around few
factors which one needs to consider and follow.
1. Weight training and right kind of exercises.
2. Nutrition depending on your goals as to build muscle or loose fat.
3. Rest and recovery depending on your training routine, that is whether you
are a beginner, intermediate or advanced.
Initially I would say learn the correct exercises and most importantly the
form. when you say weight, I assume you mean muscle, I would say train
regularly and hard say 5 days a week.
Stay away from sugar, excess carbs and processed foods.
I suggest do cardio at least 3 days a week. trying doing HIT cardio.
If you follow these simple pointers you are bound to get a
fit body and stay healthy.
One of the best whey protein is
muscle Blaze Whey protein, I prefer to take 2 whey protein shakes a day and my
training has improved since I have added Muscle Blaze to my nutritional arsenal
gains have drastically improved.
My Transformation from Fat to Fit, I have made a comeback from
an injury and had put me out for good 5 months. Its great stepping foot back in
the gym and trying to turn fat into muscle. I was able to gain like 2 to 3
pounds, I believe it will have lot of fat but I am trying to build my strength
at the moment and then start shredding. It will be a gradual progress and I shall
document and keep you guys posted on my journey of fat to fit. I trained
shoulders today and was great training as I had great pump and could see the
increase in strength.
In this episode I take you through my back workout routine.
I am big believer in HIT Training method, it was pioneered by Arthur Jones and
popularized and advocated by Mike mentzer. Then Dorian Yates popularized it by
winning Mr. Olympia titles one after other. I have few articles dedicated to
HIT training which you can read and enjoy.

H.I.T Training Module
High intensity training is one of the best method’s to put
on quality muscle mass and definition, if not the best. It was found by Arthur
Jones who experimented with this form of training with top bodybuilders of the
era. He was the inventor of the Nautilus; many well know bodybuilders trained
under his guidance like Casey Viator, mike mentzer and Ray Mentzer. It was Mike
Mentzer who popularized this form of training and added his own observation to
the HIT theory and perfected it. Mike
advocated and trained his clients no more than 7-9 sets per workout and further
reduced the training by reducing the number days trained per week; 3 days per
week sometimes even less depending on the gains. Mike advocated HIT training a
lot and held many seminars’s and shot training videos. The man who took the HIT
method to the top and revolutionized the sport of bodybuilding was Dorian
Yates. 6 consecutive times Mr. Olympia and a big follower of HIT method.
The principle of this training method was that one should
train brief, infrequent and with all intensity. It was believed that training
with high intensity and to a point where it would create muscular failure momentarily
yielded great gains and results. Since its intensity which is the key in this
form of training, the training volume and duration of training is very brief
compared to traditional volume training where one performs numerous sets and
repetitions with low intensity. We all know that training stimulates muscle
growth by recruiting new muscle fibers but rest and nutrition is what makes
them grow. Adequate rest has to be provided for the body to heal and grow and
endure the taxing from next intense workout. Hence a great emphasis is placed
on rest and recuperation.
A typical HIT Workout can be like focusing one single muscle
group to may be a minor muscle group in addition, like Back with Biceps. Again
a great emphasis is placed on form and technique as it’s just not moving
weights but lifting with perfect form and in slow and controlled fashion rather
than jerking the weight. I strongly believe one should be training no more than
45 minutes, if they are aiming to build quality muscle mass naturally. We all
more or less have access to same nutritional information but what separate us are
the training methods to some degree and most importantly the intensity. Try
this method for good 4-6 months and see the results.
This video is on barbell rows and I like to train heavy
without compromising the form. People have tendency to focus more on weight and
less on form due to ego lifting. Well guys focus on form and you will be grateful
you did, because it prevents injury and help you build lot of muscle mass.
