LevroneReport.com • 500 lb Squat Challenge, Workout # 4, 385 lbs
December 1st, 2009

No injuries, no setbacks, feeling stronger every day. Everything’s going according to plan on the way to 500 lbs, thanks to constant visualization, focus, and your support on the blog.

In this video I’m stretching and warming up in real time. I’m giving you a sense of being right there in the gym, stretching with me, and I’m letting you know what goes through my mind before lifting.

Just like you, sometimes I have that tired feeling before a workout. It’s normal, especially if you’ve been killing yourself for a few weeks on squats.

Learn to see moments of tiredness as precious opportunities. These are moments that define your CHARACTER. If you can zone in and visualize and conquer the forces that try to hold you back – that’s the strength of champions. I know you have that strength within you .

By the end of this workout I felt awesome. It’s good to be banging out heavy squats after 4 1/2 years. It feels even better knowing you’re doing it with me.

Get some squat videos on the Fire That Inspires youtube page. I don’t care if it’s 45 pounds or 450 pounds – I need to see YOUR fire to get me fired up. Step up and do your part to help make sure we DEMOLISH that 500 pounds as a team.

Just going through the numbers in my head, he looks like a good chance to do this challenge. Although this assumes the progress doesn't slow down as it gets heavier.

At least he is keeping the form tight and not having his spotter help him "grind out the reps". That was one thing I was concerned would happen.

It was so easy for him...

How many times a week is he doing this squat workout? Does he specify that and is he still training the rest of his body?

 

[Anabolicus]

Man, I wish my squat would develop with that kind of speed!

Oh boy, not this shit again. It's completely different story to regain what you once had than start from scratch and get up to 500 pounds or something like that. Just like gaining muscle.

Yeah like I don't know that! I just said that I WISH that my squats would develop as fast as his! No point calling my post shit!

I worked it out that he is squatting heavy every 3-4 days from the dates posted. So it looks like some sort of a specialisation schedule just for squats. Everything else would be maintenance.

Can't you read? I didn't call YOUR POST shit.

Let's assume that you can squat 100 kilos for 10 reps now. Then, take a break, let's say few months (completely off training). Then start from scratch and your squat WILL develop as fast as his. Of course you can wish your squat would develop even faster, that would be even better, right?

I'm not underestimating his (or your) work, he is a pro and I'm sure he knows how to do this.

I get your point and hope that you got mine aswell. It's just that your post felt a little hostile.

LevroneReport.com • 500 lb Squat Challenge, Workout #5, 405 lbs
December 2nd, 2009

405 lbs – that’s what’s up. Eight plates up on the bar, tells me we’re making real progress.

It’s not the weight, but the journey that unites us. Pick a personal goal and smash through it, use the spirit of this quest to fuel your fire.

Michael R is going for 400 lbs. Rich Aponte is going for 315 lbs. Andrew has a 250 lb squat challenge going on. That’s what this is about. I read everyone’s comments and I’m right there with you.

The solidarity follows me wherever I go – that little voice in my head that says I’m part of something. Whether you’re at Gold’s Gym Venice Beach or some basement in Australia, I know you feel it, too. As a result, we’re focusing and training on a higher level.

Today was new territory. I didn’t know what would happen under eight plates. I forced myself to believe, visualize and focus, and I made it happen. WE made it happen.

No turning back now, let’s keep it going. Full blown, hardcore, freaky VISUALIZATION and focus. Let’s end ‘09 with tremendous gains so we can EXPLODE into the next journey, wherever it takes us.

– Kevin

He made that session look easier than the last one!

Being a power rack I don't know why he didn't just set the hooks one notch lower.

LevroneReport.com • 500 lbs Squat Challenge, Workout # 6. 425 lbs
December 9th, 2009

Adapt and overcome. That’s what the life of a champion is about. For example: I had to put up 425 lbs in Los Angeles INSTEAD of the Maryland gym I’m used to. Different squat rack. Different spotter. I didn’t even have my own weight belt, I had to use the gym’s belt.

These details matter when you’re staring down massive weights and going for long-time personal bests. Part of you wants that home field advantage.

But home is not about any particular gym. Home is a mindset a champion takes with him. Home is this blog, this community.

Home is the vision of the future you’ve been carrying in your mind. When you step inside that vision and make it real, you are truly home.

I’d been imagining squatting 425 lbs for days. We killed it, bro. 425 lbs, 4×4, no problem. It was great to finally step into that vision, to arrive home. But the journey never ends…
Home now awaits at my next workout. And as the weights get more serious, so will we…all the way to 500 lbs, baby. NOBODY can touch us.
Levrone, out.
