An Interview with Kevin Levrone, Bodybuilder

Thank you. Kevin Levrone here. I believe in God, I believe in helping people, and I am very thankful and grateful to be here in Macedonia.

I wished to be healthy, to live a long life, and to have self-respect. Many people do not care for themselves, but I wanted to look my best, even as a child.

My best moment in the sport was most likely every moment I competed as a professional. I never imagined that my life would turn out the way it has in the sport of bodybuilding. But I believe every moment spent preparing for contests was a valuable lesson learned, something I’ll always cherish and remember.

The brand Kevin Levrone is a signature series of supplements. All my career, I wanted to make something available to the people, a supplement that mimics my career in a straightforward way – no-nonsense and honest. It was my dream to leave this behind after competing.

So this is something I wanted to give the people; the entire knowledge and education that I’ve learned through the industry about supplements. I wanted to put it into the Levrone Signature Series, and I feel that we accomplished this.

It’s mental, though. A champion has to believe in himself, a champion has to stand by his decisions, and a champion also has to have the visualization to be able to separate moments, plow through good and bad, no matter what it is, and just never quit and never give up.

As I said, a champion must believe in himself and know it is up to him. Don’t ever rely on anyone to do anything else for you.

A great champion is a great warrior from the inside out. He always stands strong and firm. He knows who he is and is 100% ready to commit to his goal.

Life is about balance, and I believe that how I feel is how I live. I try to spend a lot of time alone, and meditation balances me. I focus on the future, but I always remember the past and where I came from. My parents are no longer here, so remembering them and my childhood keeps me balanced and allows me to remember where I come from and to be a good father to my son moving forward.

So, I think these are the things that keep me rooted.

I developed the training and nutrition by spending time with myself. All of my training formulas are custom. I train all pushing and pulling muscles together. I do a three-on, one-off routine. I also try to complete one body part in 45 minutes, not longer. I go into the gym with a goal and a focus, and I already know what I’m going to do when I walk in, and it’s on a time clock.

So, this is my training. I do this with every body part. However, I listen to my body. If I don’t feel like training that day, I don’t push it.

Nutrition is the same. My nutrition is based on how my body feels. I have an overall caloric intake composition that I know I need. However, depending on the workload I put on my body in the gym, I determine what my body can digest at that moment, along with rest and recovery.

So, it’s essentially three combinations – training, rest and recovery, and nutrition.

I think my daily motivation source is knowing that I have responsibilities. Not for myself, but I believe God has given me a great opportunity to do positive things and help other people. So, I look forward to this, and it’s what motivates me to continue moving through all of my challenges - because it’s not just for me.

It’s a lesson learned and something I will always remember to pass forward. Never quit, never give up, and never lose, no matter how long it takes, because bad times don’t last forever.

Every day we learn a lesson, and I look forward to meeting people wherever I go around the world, no matter what form of society they come from; whether it’s the rich, the poor, or the homeless, it can all be a lesson learned, every second and every aspect of it.

I’m always in life training. Every day in life brings something new, so I look forward to that. That is my training.

My plans for the future are to be a great father and a good role model for my son. To structure his life and to let him know his responsibilities as a young man growing up.

Also, I want to reach back and be a father to my fans who don’t have fathers out there, be a brother to my bodybuilding brothers who don’t have brothers, and be a loyal and good servant for the better mankind and every country, no matter where I am.

Just trust and believe in yourself. Trust and believe in your instincts, and don’t be afraid to spend time alone. When I say spend time alone, I refer to the fact that you will learn many things about yourself that way.

Also, don’t involve yourself in anything negative. Focus on good energy, and always spend some time with nature. Spend some time praying and spend some time listening to your six senses. This is the best advice that I can possibly give you.
