Also, my emotions might be messed up, but the PRs keep coming 💪Honestly, working out has kept me afloat this whole time. Give those dumbbells some love. They’ll be sure to give it back when you need it.
Last workout of the year. I couldn’t be any happier at how 2021 went. I got to express my art like never before, and met an awesome community here on TW. Thank you all for making this year so good. Happy New Year 🥳
As competition draws closer I’m starting to feel the pressure. Trying to keep my mind in one piece, and this body pumped up to the max. Eight weeks out.
I’m back! Work has been rough, but I’ve kept up with my diet and training. The off season is settling in quite nicely. I’m back to breaking PRs with these babies 💪
Anyone ordered BEEF? It’s crazy how the body adapts to the higher calories. I haven’t experienced strength development like this practically since I started weightlifting. And the pump is great too.
A little bit late, but I wish all of you had a very happy holiday ❤️. May all your (bodybuilding) dreams come true. Picture of the pre-Christmas pump attached
Some snips from today’s pull workout. Arms are regaining size nicely. Strength is slowly stagnating again. Trying to shift into a higher volume routine to maximize size. Happy Sunday everyone ❤️
Body update. Calories are low. The hunger is real. But the excitement too. NPC here I come

5K already? Thank you guys! 🎉 The community here has been amazing, and I’m glad I get to share my experiences with all of you. To all who follow the bodybuilding path: keep going at it! We got your back. As a celebration, here’s just a little teaser 😜
This is the end of an era. My swan song in the gym. I made sure to train hard and go out with a bang. Recovery will be tough, but not impossible. Eyes are still on the prize
6k! Thank you all for all your nice words of wisdom and encouragement. In celebration, I’m gonna shamelessly copy

I wish I could show this to my teen self, so he knew that things would be alright and we would be proud of what we’ve become.
Thank you

❤️. You’re an inspiration.
With all the fuzz these days I missed I hit 4K! Thank you all for following and your good vibes. It has definitely made a difference when it comes to motivation. Here’s a pic taken just as the carbs wrecked my contest shape. Hope to get back better for the next show.
Feeling absolutely flat and carb depleted. The final stretch has arrived, and I’m trying to survive my mind’s increasing sabotage attempts. 5 weeks out.
Last training session at the old gym. Weight is down to 66kg. All main lifts are down, and I’d rather be dragged down to hell than to do another minute of cardio. Now, the main focus is to manipulate water, and learn to flex the abs properly.
Some of my favorite poses. This is me shining bright on stage. Pictures from the show on Friday. It has been a crazy ride, and it’s not over yet. Thanks to everyone who encouraged me! (Especially for
@AardvarkStories
who triggered this whole dream years ago)
A few days later and I still can’t believe I made it this far. This picture captured one of the best moments in my life, one I could only dream and write about. The journey came to an end. Thank you all who have been supporting this whole time ❤️. You really did fire me up

to my best mens physique pose hours before hopping on stage. I felt like dying, but DAMN I looked good. Imagine this with some 7-10kg more of lean mass.
Update: dryness is slowly kicking in. Cardio every day and low carbs are making me wanna die, and the hernia is sabotaging my ab training. Need to get those little f***ers to pop up in time, or I’m doomed. Little less than four weeks out.
I’m officially registered to participate in an actual bodybuilding competition. I even got my number and all. I can barely believe this is happening. I feel both terrified and ecstatic 💀
How do people manage to flirt and get hookups at the gym? Whenever I go to a gym, literally nobody speaks to me, let alone have a hot guy flirt with me.
