Transformation & Physique Goal Challenge 2018! Let's get it done!!!

[MrKleen73]

Hey guys, sorry I wasn't on at all yesterday, bad day, apparently I was getting a touch of vertigo Sunday and that is why I got so sick so the last two days didn't go well and I was in bed all day yesterday trying to sleep it off.

We have a conundrum here, I have votes for Rocket in both categories. So Rocket3015 verify for once and all if you were natty or enhanced. I swear I read you say you were natty this time around. However I want to make sure that everyone is voted on based on the correct category.

Once we have this info then anyone who picked him in the wrong group has a chance to correct the votes for who they want to win knowing where Rocket was placed. Let me know guys and once I do I will announce the winner just have to update the tallies correctly.

MrKleen73 you have a list of natty's? Sorry I lost track of everyone.

Whisky captured the screens of the likes for natty and assisted a couple of post up.

I am on HRT so I would say enhanced

 

[jtmass]

I am on HRT so I would say enhanced

I thought you were Natty

 

[Rocket3015]

I thought you were Natty

TRT 100mg every 2 weeks

Great! This helps

 

[MrKleen73]

I am on HRT so I would say enhanced

That is still natty those are True TRT levels. Not cruise dose like many who say they are on TRT. I say that is natty.

 

[Rocket3015]

You are the Boss

 

[MrKleen73]

You are the Boss

If only my wife would say that to me!

No early on we discussed TRT and that if on a real TRT dose it was considered natty but if on anything over 200mg a week equaled enhanced...

 

[SilentSavage0523]

Why not just do top two regardless of category, since there were so much more natty, and may be there were better transformations in the natty group than in all the enhanced. Would it be fair to that 2nd place natty person to lose put to a enhanced even if their transformation was better.

 

[MrKleen73]

Mine was Alpha Bulk or Mass whichever the 4DHEA one was. chedapalooza offered up some Glycoshield or a stack or something. I know there is one post in here with almost all of this in it. I feel like there was a total of 8 but can't remember what the other was. Maybe I was just counting bottles and with @Mowgslim having two that would be 8. I feel like Whisky said he might toss in something but I can't remember.

I have decided to separate the prizes now between Natty and Enhanced and everyone will simply PM me their vote for each category at the end of the contest. No one can vote for themselves and other than that voting will be anonymous to anyone but me.

Natty - Re1gn, Test Booster, Coq Diesel, whatever chedapalooza was giving

Enhanced - Alpha Bulk - Vitamin B12, Lecheek AD-3 PCT, and X-Gels

This is how the prizes were set up for this contest.

It was a bit of a pain in the ass to decide how to divide up the winnings, there will be one for Natty, and One for assisted. We pretty much already have the prizes split up based on natural and hormonal products so it works well this way.

Plus this has already taken up too much of my time today so we will keep things as they are.

Here is the tally for who won what.

To make thing easier since it won't change anything I am going to announce the winners now with the current votes for each person that was nominated.

Here is the voting breakdown

Rocket x5 - WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!!!
JTMASS x3
SilentSavage x1

MKleen73 x4 -
Whisky x3
Benny Magoo - x2
HGP – 1

Also HGP's #1 vote was for christ83189 who was not actually in the contest followed by myself and Rocket. So shout out to him christ83189!!!
Congrats to everyone who made progress as that is what this was all about.

Those who are supplying prizes please reach out to the winners and get their mailing addresses to send the product!

I actually did post em here i just didnt get in here early enough to be a part of the competition unfortunately. But i was so happy with my progress i wanted to share it in here

jtmass Are you in the USA ?

No. But, I can send the Re1gn. PM me your mailing address. Congratulations Rocket3015 and MrKleen73

 

[MrKleen73]

jtmass Brother you were right up there with Rocket when it comes to the transformation it was awesome!

However, in the end for my personal pick I had to go with who had to sacrifice more to get where they ended up. Obviously for me anyway it is easier to eat a surplus than it is to maintain a caloric deficit. So that is the reason he edged you out. You should be proud!
BennyMagoo & Whisky were neck and neck for me too! It was really hard to make a decision there. You both kicked ass!

True, when you’re eating more fat gain in inevitable. plus, the injury really dug deep into me.. I could have done much better if not for the injury. It was a good experience for me.. never done a challenge before

Thanks MrKleen73 it’s been a great start to a year where I planned to make massive changes.
Bennymagoo just edged it for me - been killing it on his thread plus I like his training videos lol

Can’t believe how much you and HG came on in the last 4 weeks though. Could have voted any which way and it would have been deserved

 

[Mowglisml]

Prize from me have been shipped.

Yeah that is the proof that knowledge is not as important as execution when it comes to physique stuff. I knew what I needed to do the whole time but didn't buckle down and do it until a month out. Let's not pretend the Var didn't help either. LOL This has set me on a trajectory for getting myself lean again like I was in my avatar. Maybe even leaner. If will power continues to hold out I may diet down and then have a photo shoot.

Thats an awesome goal.

Not too disimilar to mine, end of this year will be 5 years since i started my journey. I posted a 1 year picture on facebook but have a fairly low social media profile so havent done one since. Decided last year i would do a 5 year though and want to look jacked as possible for that.....

When I prepped for my contest in 09 I got so shredded, it was pretty unreal how lean I was, but I didn't get any professional pics done. All I have are progress pics and pics where I was practicing poses but nothing worthy of a frame or anything.

Ever since then I have wished I had done a legit photo shoot with a good photographer that can make the pics look professional and bad ass. Depending on where I am in June I will decide if I am close enough to where I want to be to schedule the shoot then it will give me another solid deadline.

 

[jtmass]

I posted some pics in here from when i was in shape but they don't seem to be showing... can you all see them.

Nope

 

[Hyde]

I can see em. Very jacked

 

[MrKleen73]

Nope

Yeah the links from the site here weren't working. Hopefully you can see them now.

I can see em. Very jacked

I had to download the pics and upload them to get them to work...

Thanks, I am hoping I will be a little bigger this time around, plus I don't intend to get that lean. I am 205 now, and I think I will probably look pretty good around 195. Then again depends on what I get out of the var for the last few weeks of it.

 

[Studhorse]

Hey I transformed! you didn't say which way you had to transform? lol

Yeah that’s jacked af......I’d be ecstatic with that level of leanness

One day I will be there....Maybe. That is Jacked

 

[MrKleen73]

YOu started looking good and finished looking good with what appears to have been 5 more lbs muscle I would say that is a win!!!

Thanks guys, that diet and prep was one of the hardest things I have done. Theoretically from where I am I should be about 10lbs heavier if i get to that level, but I won't go far far unless I decide to compete. That was right around 4% on the calipers.

 

[Rocket3015]

True, when you’re eating more fat gain in inevitable. plus, the injury really dug deep into me.. I could have done much better if not for the injury. It was a good experience for me.. never done a challenge before

[hairygrandpa]

MrKleen73 , those pics are competition level!

:notworthy:

 

[jtmass]

Damn! MrKleen73 that’s jacked AF

 

[MrKleen73]

MrKleen73 , those pics are competition level!

:notworthy:

Thanks, it was actually for a competition, my first actually. I was originally signed up for the Novice class but when I got there they told me point blank I had no competition in Novice and asked me if I wanted to compete against the National Level guys for a chance to go pro.
So I thought about it and decided being told I would walk away with the novice easily that I wanted to see where I stood amongst the nationally ranked guys.

I came in 4rth out of 9 but the others were all seasoned vets going for their pro so it was in my opinion a great placing! Also I chickened out thinking I was going to spill over and didn't carb up enough the night before the show. With my nerves and the natural diuretic I lost 8lbs lbm overnight. I still looked good but way smaller. Had I have been full and as lean as I was I would have been at least in the top 2.

Damn! MrKleen73 that’s jacked AF

Thanks! Now to get closer to that composition... I was also super flat and depleted in those pics. Was the middle of peak week.

8 lbs lbm overnight? I dont think thats possible lol

 

[MrKleen73]

Water and glycogen is absolutely part of your lean body mass. Not saying I lost 8lbs of muscle tissue but that is exactly what it looks like when you run through all your glycogen and are massively dehydrated. You can easily burn through that in a night with a case of the nerves. I know people who had to eat way more calories than expected during peak week just to keep from losing precious mass due a severe cases of the nerves and I was most definitely nervous as hell and stressed out. No coach and afraid to carb up because people had been telling me about spilling over so much I was deathly afraid of it. Your metabolism can double in scenarios like that and the cortisol goes nuts. The diuretic had a decent amount to do with it too, it didn't really kick in until the night before the show and I really did not need it.

 

[MrKleen73]

Anyone want to start this back up for another 5-6 weeks? I still have my Alpha Bulk and will be happy to put it up to the winner.

I need about a 2 week break but would be up to start June 1 ??

 

[Whisky]

That’s exactly when I’m due to starting cutting with clen and ecay so I’d be up for it as well - I’ve lean bulked for quite a while now - dropping from my 4,000 Cals a day is gonna be a shock to my system. The added motivation could be handy for sure

I'm in, this time. Started my recomp already.

 

[BennyMagoo79]

Wtf....I thought nothing was happening in this thread as it did not refresh in my 'participated' list!

Sorry I missed the vote guys, but congrats to MrKleen73 and rocket!

 

[BennyMagoo79]

Also, I just want to say, there have been so many mornings I have woken up sore and tired thinking, "there is no way I am going to the gym" until I start catching up on your logs (usually while taking a dump), and someone is smashing a PR or hitting a composition goal, or just putting up an insane workout, and it shifts my mindset to one where I can embrace the pain, square up to gravity, and just get it done.

Thank you all for sharing your journeys.

 

[Rocket3015]

I'm sure I can come up with a Supplement to throw in for a prize.

 

[SkRaw85]

I’ll participate more for the self accountability aspect. Moving this weekend so no lifts except boxes. How about 8 weeks for the run? I’ll dig through my stash and see what I can offer up within legality. Need to do some spring cleaning anyways

 

[MrKleen73]

Transformation & Physique Goal Challenge 2018! Let's get it done!!!

I don’t plan to diet any longer than 6 weeks from now and that may be more than needed. Already looking noticeably better than last week. Let’s see where I am on the first when you all are ready. If I am close to my goal I won’t participate but will put my product up.
