Champions must train like champions.
If you ask most professional bodybuilders they’d probably agree with the adage that receiving an IFBB pro card is easier than actually winning a pro show. The amateur scene is filled with hungry contenders looking to make it to the professional stage and also avid bodybuilders who are just competing for fun. Once you get to the professional levels of the sport the ones who are just competing for fun are weeded out fairly quickly as they realize that the pro scene is a whole different animal. You can’t simply bring your B game and expect to win a pro show. Everyone at the pro level means business or they’re out the door in no time.

Training for pro shows may seem the same as any other competition, professional or not. But the truth of the matter is that though training splits may look the same on paper, the preparation is treated with a different type of gravitas. The intensity of training is ramped up to eleven and it has to be. Doing your best in training simply isn’t enough if you’re looking to win a pro show, much less one of the bigger bodybuilding competitions such as the Olympia and the Arnold Classic.
It’s something that the veteran Kevin Levrone understands all too well.
Now that he’s officially decided to make a comeback and compete at the Olympia this year, many fans and pundits have wondered if Kevin Levrone still has what it takes to compete at the highest levels of the sport. But Levrone doesn’t seem like a man who would half ass an opportunity like the one he has before him now. He realizes that if he wants to win that he’ll have to bring his A game and the veteran is preparing for the challenge with a well thought out training split.
