Amazing transformation boet. There was another photo you did modeling for a few years back, think it was a underwear shoot, you were ripped in that shot. Think you posted it on Facebook a few years ago.
Anyway, good to have you back !

haha, yea it was a photoshoot i did with my ex-wife for her birthday, and the day before my 2nd show, I was lean then but this condition i brought to this show made that look like complete childs play.
i have been pretty shredded over the years for shows, but i can't even begin to compare. I trained with Justin Thacker in 2015 in his prep for world champs where he placed 2nd, we did giant set training 7 days a week with 2 hours of cardio on 50g of carbs, and I was still leaner this show without any cardio. the head judge from the ifbb said to me the day after the show when i saw him at the airport that he was actually blown away, that i was the only one at that show that had that insane grainy look. Was a great compliment

What a riveting post. I pop in from time to time checking things out. Glad when I see familiar "faces".
Your transformation has been AWESOME.
Been a bit (actually a lot...) sleg on my side. Life happens and all, and I've relocated to PE. Although I'm probably fitter than I ever was. A real hoot to see thin okes' faces when I smoke them at various group routines at the gym I go to now. Especially when "strength" components are added to the cardio stuff (like deadlifting 50kg... can do those till the cows come home)
But yeah, need to drop some fat off the frame.
But man, glad to see you back.
New guys! This dude, Oupa, MA, Hormonas, Pump (and others) are encyclopeadias.
On a side note, has anyone heard from or kept in touch with Fillet? Dude fell off the planet and I know he was going through some shit. Just hope he's OK. Lost his number when my phone was expropriated without compensation.
Anyhoo, take care folks!

thanks man,
yea life does get to you that is for sure, i have had it get pretty rough but you do eventually get out the hole. i am very lucky to be associated to an an American Coach and his business Teamskip. Skip took me under his wing for the better part of 3 years to learn all the processes that come in peaking clients, and just getting people into great shape.
so my online coaching is always fun when dealing with the dedicated few.
like i said, with the illicit trade etc its tough not being able to converse with people, but i have nothing to hide being on here and having my script for TRT haha. so Cyclo you more than welcome to hit me up if you know who i am.
Glad i have been able to get in contact with a few of the guys and been able to help as much as i can.
Yea, what ever happened to Fillet? i see Vega5 online every now and again.

Empire told me about this the other day... Tam,if you ever read this, I'm so sorry!
I often think of the time you guys came for a Braai at my house after Fillet and I broke EVERY rule on the site (and even ones not yet written ) to get each others details.
My condolences to you and your son.
To B****, somewhere out there, take care Fillet!

MxT, Batman,Conan, Muscle Addict,Doctari, Netro, Admin. They all started me on this journey on here.
There have been a hell of a lot of frauds up here too, if people saw what these people look like in real life you would question if they even trained let alone why they are giving out information. i remember working with one of the "mods" here that told me that creatine was giving him stretch marks, meanwhile, he was skinny fat, i looked at his profile on FB the other day and clearly being a vegan crossfitter has become his new hobby cos he is just as tiny as ever yet i see the posts on her, and think if people only know.
Did you really climb out of your rat tunnels just to say that?
oh and we can't forget the infamous Jakes hahaha there used to be a guy on here who i was the best man at his wedding and he was a groomsman at mine, that the only reason i will go to his funeral is to make sure he is dead and to piss on his coffin.
i have got some great friends from here, Pump is an amazing guy and has an amazing family Ogre that used to be on here is another one. Rhino, Etwa are also amazing friends I met from being on here, so there are really a lot of good guys here.
unfortunately, with illicit trade and identities being exposed, i can understand why we cant have a private message system, but i openly offer anyone if they know who i am on social media to drop me a message and i will help as much as i can, if not drop me some questions and i will be sure to answer to the best of my knowledge.
Glad I made someone's yearbook!
