Alright, T-ransformers… it’s time for T-Nation’s version of who wore it best! We’ve put in the work and earned the results: (Un)Official 2025 T-ransformation Challenge
Now it’s time to pick a winner.
As a quick reminder, we’re voting for our “most transformed,” not necessarily the most advanced final product. Take a look at what these folks were able to accomplish below, and then pick a winner by voting that name.
T-ransformers: fantastic job seeing this through to completion and posting up your final pics! That takes guts (even though you all lost yours) and is inspiring to the entire community. Great work!
First of all, some of youse are terrible at before and after shots!
Second congrats @throwawayfitness you fucking crushed this, a bunch of other great entries but damn that’s a massive change.
I hadn’t actually looked at my before and after but I see positive differences which this competition helped me create by setting a goal. So, thanks to @TrainForPain for keeping this going and @T3hPwnisher for assisting
Full credit to @TrainForPain : I’ve barely touched the T-ransformation this year, and he’s done a fantastic job honchoing the whole thing. But ya’ll have done some amazing work.
@throwawayfitness - The visible progress here is simply outstanding but what is even more incredible is your absolute commitment and discipline in both training and diet. Hats off you sir. Well done
@davemccright - If we are going to award for positivity, discipline and unending hard work then you should get a special prize, if we add in just being a top bloke and the neatest training log on TN then you should have taken the main prize. Unfortunately we were only judging on visual progress. LOL Loved following along to your training as you used some of the greats from the past as inspiration and absolutely killed it.
@alex_uk - Great progress and great way to how us all that even with training set backs you can still get the job done. All this whilst being a busy family man and a good christian along the way. Respect mate.
Special mentions to
@kleinhound for somehow being able to make his quads look even bigger, when we all thought that wasn’t possible.
@unicornsandrainbows for making obvious progress for the second year running, and for sharing some of the best scenery pics on TN. Extra point for being a cool pilot too
@EmilyQ for pushing through to the finish despite of everything else that was going on and being so positive and supportive of everyone else along the way. 2 extra points for the gun show, looking great.
I should have thrown a deadline to vote in here. Looks like we’ve got a pretty solid group of voters in already, but let’s say I’ll close this end of day tomorrow (Saturday, east coast US). That should give the busier amongst us at least a weekend day to to check into the site and I’d imagine we’re set at that point.
Fantastic job, man! It’s incredible to see what you’ve been able to do with your own body while also being one of the most supportive members of our community - you truly embody everything we’re trying to do here. I’ll be reaching out to give you a small reward in the form of Biotest supplements.
For all the finishers - great work! It’s not easy to put up your before and after pics for the judgement of a bunch of folks on the Internet; way to set goals and put in the work.
For all of us - it doesn’t stop now! Let’s take this momentum and keep improving the rest of the year. May our 2026 transformations be from great to otherworldly!
Absolutely the right man won, congratulations to @throwawayfitness serious effort and commitment, showing serious results!
Huge thanks to @TrainForPain and @T3hPwnisher for keeping this going each year and thanks to all those giving kudos and positive comments, absolutely golden community here!
Looking forward to a prolonged period of gaining and getting 2026’s before photos ready
