Quest to become level 100 Barbarian (TeknoViking Log)

[TeknoViking]

I am not sure what my goal is...I guess to become a larger more ripped version of myself. It may turn into massive cut, depending on how my blood work comes back in the next week.

Obstacles: Graduate School, work, startup company, girlfriend, family and life. I want to maintain a healthy work/gym/life/school balance.

I started making excuses for myself as to why I should sit this contest out. I have already been busting my ass and could use a break, not enough time to be 100% committed, I wont be able to make as drastic changes as some others, yatta yatta...but at the end of the day they are excuses and I could use some accountability. Who knows maybe this will get me in check to do my first show (physique or classic).

No it's not. I don't think Tekno can look any better... well I hope not

In all seriousness this log should be great. You have a fantastic base so even small improvements will have you looking super freaky.

 

[tri-terror]

Good shit man, good shit. I'm in to see where you land. Good luck man.

Today is an off day for me, no weights no cardio. I still used my Synthetine 3ml after my large breakfast. My gf and I just started using it a few days ago and OMG I feel like I can work out forever at the gym. She reported the same thing. She has great lungs already (carido bunny) but said her spin classes have been much better.

I have school in the evenings wed/thurs 6-10 so it becomes hard to get my meals in on those days. I usually eat a 6 ounce filet with brown rice and avocado an hour before and have a quest bar on hand to hold me over while I am there. My classmates think I am a maniac ha. They have seen a pretty dramatic change in my body over the last 8-9 months.

Tomorrow is chest and back.

 

[tenny]

you are too big for classic phys.

 

[TeknoViking]

you are too big for classic phys.

Totally. How did you decide to do your first show, class etc? I have no idea what contest condition looks like on me, how many pounds of fat I need to drop etc.

 

[tenny]

5'7 max out is 170lb for classic....

my first show i didn't know shit....did it because a buddy was
doing it.....i ended up winning the overall.

at 6' i weighted in at 206 which back then would
have been perfect for classic phys.

I was going through my phone and this picture is from July 2015. My girlfriend bought me a gym pass to LA fitness and I started lifting again from that point on. 35 pounds heavier now. The end of this contest will mark 1 year from that point. Got a late start today, but headed to thy gym in an hour.

 

[luckyone]

WOW, you made amazing progress since last July. Will look forward to see what you accomplish during this contest as you already look swole. Best of luck!

your brother in Christ,

Lucky

Another great workout today. I decided to bump up my test to 600mg a week (200mg M-W-F). I am going to see if I can make some gains in the next few weeks before I decide to trim down.

Today was delts, triceps and biceps and tomorrow will be quads/hams and calves.

Todays workout was okay. My right knee is killing me at the moment which sucks major ass. I had a great weekend though, spent quality time with the gf and her dog. Grabbed some yummy sushi with her and her parents this evening.

Her dog spends the weekends with us every weekend, since we both do not have to work. The poor little guy dies when I cook all my meals, he literally just stares at me when I am cooking like "feed me bitch" ha. He is a fucken cutie though.
