The T-ransformation 2017 Results

[Chris_Colucci]

In November, an idea was hatched to get the forum together and push ourselves to achieve something more. The kind of physique transformation that too many lifters talk about and too few follow through on.

In January, it began. A 20-week countdown to see who could dial in their training, nutrition, and willpower to reach their goal.

The results of those who stuck with it and conquered the challenge are below.

Cast your vote for the best transformation. Voting will close 12:00pm EST, Monday June 12. That’s 4 solid days to make it count:[poll type=regular max=20]

Well shit, you’d think I would be way better at doing this whole training log thing considering the fact that I’ve been doing it for almost 2 years but damnit, the first post is still kinda hard to write so I’ll probably just edit and fill this space up later. To everyone who has stumbled upon this and wondering the heck is this. This will be my training log entry of sorts for the next 6 months or so since I’m participating in the… Do have a look and join on in, I highly encourage everyone t…

[image] ^ One of my favorite bodybuilding pics of all-time. Partly because Wilkosz has a badass build and is under-appreciated, but also because of the way she’s looking at him. You’re a lying liar who lies if you say getting that kind of reaction from your lady (or your guy) doesn’t register as motivation. Anyhow, to make it official and whatnot, I figured “keeping” a log for the challenge couldn’t hurt. By “keeping”, I mean it’ll be as consistent as I can. I don’t actually have time to pos…

The Duce's Challenge Log 2017

Getting light. 189.0 (-7.5 pounds) this morning. Feeling really good. A pound away from the lightest weight I’ve been in the past 15 years. Back is feeling really good. I’ve also made a few changes this week. I’ve moved back to training in the morning for personal scheduling reasons. This means that now I’m training not only fasted, but in the middle of the fast not at the end of it. So no big meal afterward. I’ve also been doing a little olympic lifting again as warmups for my training, clean a…

T-ransformation 2017: Flipcollar’s log

Hey y’all. I’ll post my starting pics soon. I’ll go ahead and use this space rather than my regular training log for the duration of this competition, since it seems like a handful of other guys are doing the same. My stats to start off are mid 180’s bodyweight, 5’10. My lifts aren’t at their best right now, which I guess is a good thing for the purposes of this competition. Probably just under a 500 unwrapped squat, mid to high 500’s deadlift, mid 300’s bench press. My goal is to push all…

Furo's Comeback Log

2017 Plan January My plan is to finish this cycle of 5/3/1, take a couple of days off and then do a mock meet on the 16th of Jan to mark the anniversary of my injury. For the remaining 2 weeks of January my training will be unstructured - my priority will be deadlifts and getting back into kettlebell swings. Throughout January I will avoid all sugar, but my diet will otherwise be flexible. February In February I will move to the middle of nowhere and take my kettlebells with me. I will run D…

Hard to find scales that go up that high, and in that state, you really do not want the constant reminder of how big you are. Around the time of this pic, I remember going to the doctor and weighing in at 364.somthing lbs, so close enough. Around this time, I met my coach, @robstein and A LOT has changed. To keep this short and onto the topic at hand, le…

Hey all! Finally getting around to making this log! I will be logging my workouts and nutrition as best as possible and welcome any feedback anyone has! I decided to join this challenge because, well, i’m a fat ass and i’m sick of it! A little background: 17 yrs old Been training seriously for a year, before that, just yoyo dieting and “Beachbody” workouts that never got me anywhere. I have stayed on 5/3/1 BBB the whole time, except for 2 months where i did GVT 5/3/1. Stats: 5’11’’ 210l…

KD13 Not Very Strongman

Welcome to my log, I will be using this log as a place to keep my thoughts and observations over the next few months, so expect pictures, food and training updates, nothing major exciting but hopefully I can get in the best shape I’ve been in. I spent the most of 2016 rebuilding and trying to get back to where I was in early 2015. The best shape I have been in was early 2015, in April of that year I had testicular surgery, which although was fairly routine and straight forward it hit me hard, I…

Maple Syrup Strength (littlesleeper)

Here we go folks. It is 2017 and time to tear the cloth off of the statue I’ve been building for the past few years. I’ve done mini cuts here and there to keep my fat mass under control, but I have never fully dedicated my training/nutrition to getting lean or shredded. I plan to compete in my first ever Strongman competition this coming Spring so my workouts will still revolve around increasing/maintaining strength, but I will perform some complexes, increase training density and add cardio to…

T-ransformation 2017: Lord Humongous Pain Train log

And so it begins. I shall post tomorrow with my weight, bf % and before pic. For now I’ll start with my training regimen. I’ll be setting some lifts back a couple cycles and lowering TM from 90 to 85% so I can get away with less deloads until the end of the comp. so Current 1rm and (85% TM) are as follows: Dead: 425 (365) Squat: 365 (310) Press: 155 (130) Bench: 280 (240) Power clean: 205 (175) Front Squat: 265 (225) I’ll be doing a leader/anchor 531 set up. 2 cycles of leader with a cy…

MarkKO's Training Log

First official training of 2017. Today’s training: Lazy lifter Stiff bar deadlift 5 pull-ups between first three warmup sets - couldn’t use the neutral grip as that rack was in use, so did chin-ups for the first set and overhand grip for the other two. Elbows weren’t big fans, although the actual moving myself to the bar was pretty easy. 5x330 lbs, under 6 RPE - double overhand 5x379 lbs, under 6 RPE - used my left hand as the underhand, did not feel nice 5x434 lbs, 7-8 RPE - felt shitty,…

01-02-2017 SHOULDERS - OHP 5@45, 5@65, 3@85 3@100 3@115 3@130 RPE 9 4X10@70 BBB BPA 5X30, LATERALS SS WITH TPD’S 4X10, FACE PULLS SS WITH SHRUGS 4X15&5X20. Easy day, fifty five minutes. Not happy with the plus set. Considering changes in the TM for the next cycle. Cutting weight and increasing TM’s doesn’t work for me. Thinking about lowering the TM and going with true BBB, 5x10@50%, or FSL at 3x8.
