IFPA Pro RJ Perkins "Where One Journey Ends Another Begins"

[Mr_Aestheticz]

First off let me begin by saying......................."WOW"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am officially a IFPA Professional Athlete, my number one goal and dream was to become one when I took on this lifestyle and sport, and now it is official.

This is my official off-season training log as a pro athlete leading up to when I will begin prep for my official pro debut! My number goal is to place in the top 5 at my pro debut and bring the BEST package I have yet to present.

I am going to continue to use the Fire, Desire, Drive, Strength, and Knowledge that has gotten me to this point in my life but do it at greater standards. I am going to take the newly obtained physique I have gained and build upon little by little and day by day. I feel the greatest thing that I have obtained and what has truly developed me into a true bodybuilder is KNOWLEDGE, I have grown extremely mentally and intelligently that I feel 110% confident in myself in my decisions in dieting, training, and supplementation.

I will be making sure to keep everything professionally on point, in check, and never let anything slip as I can not afford to as the competition is TRULY SERIOUS and out there someone is already 2 steps ahead of me. I will not be out worked and I will do whatever it takes to be the next IFPA Pro Champion!

"Just when you thought it was over, it has only just begun"

...EASY!!!

[Mr_Aestheticz]

Ok so I have been doing extended reading and research on different training tools and methods of madness. I am by no means chaning my styl eof training being it has gotten me where I am at today (in regards to my power/hyper style of training). BUT I really want to find and try something new so I did a lot of online reading and research and am going to give.................FST-7 Training a run.

I am basically testing it and seeing how my body reacts to it and mainly how it responds. I may not get any benefit from it and may not work for me or it may turn my physique into something unreal, who knows, but once again I will not know until I give it a shot. if anyone has any questions on how i go about things and what not feel free to ask.

Nice, are you doing lying leg curls for FST-7?

Hany pointed that out to start with that then work on doing them on the leg press...That'll be insane for sure. I switch my training to Power/Hyper due to your success bro. I'm still cutting at the moment. Inspiring stuff you've done on your contest prep.
