Just more justification that muscle memory, genetics, hard work, and a consistent diet/rest can really aid you.

I just watched the first segment of Levrone's "ripped" phase which will be dedicated to shredding body fat. He does a hour and a half run. Doesn't this contradict muscle building?

Weighted dips and close grip, period.

Really...? Go climb under a rock... I LOVE doing cardio after doing legs. Since all the blood flow is down in your lower body anyway, high intensity cardio, or any variation is great. It really keeps your heart rate up, and is an amazing way to shed off excess cals.

I don't know man, you would think training to failure would be the most ideal way. I think those who don't sometimes (and see results) have genetics on their side.

Lately I have been doing like a 15 minute high intensity cardio workout after lifting weights. Do you think this will have any negative affect on my gains? I usually hit the treadmill hard (like a little more than 2 miles in 15 mins). It seems to be a great way to get a nice sweat going in...

I just started M-Stak to rid myself of this plateau I've seen to take on. So far the results are pretty impressive (even though I've only been on it for four days), my workouts are a lot more intense and muscular endurance has significantly increased. I was talking to a training at the gym last...

That sounds really stout. I might implement some of those concepts into my current routine. Thanks!

It's all about proper training and eating which is just as important.

I'm a week in and it feels a lot better thus far. Day 1: Chest/tri/shoulders Day 2: Legs Day 3: Back/bi/traps Day 4: Rest Day 5: Rest ...repeat... I do cardio, abs, and lower back every other day regardless.

I wouldn't consider it overtraining to run thirty minutes on an alternate day. HOWEVER, what I do is incorporate high intensity cardio on the same days as your lifting. Not only do you get that extra burn, you need to let your body rest. So it's important to get a couple "off days."

I have seen that video, and that is a HUGE arch. It is actually suggested by some to have a slight arch in the back and a strong plant (of your feet) into the ground on heavy weight.

Went to Levrone's blog today and it's receiving almost 20,000 hits a day, which is more than any body building site! Impressive Kevin!

Why would you do quads on one side of the week and hams on the other? You need to consolidate that all into one workout and do them together.

Looks good, keep it up!
