My name is Taylor Gregory, I am 22 years old and recently graduated with a BS in Nutrition from the University of Tennessee. I shall be attending UT Pharmacy...

LoganBrown's Journey into the Fitness and Bodybuilding Community What's up guys, I've been lurking these forums since 2011 but have never posted consistently. However, I feel it's time for a change! Originally I had this thread in the contest prep forum, but decided to move it here to the contest...

Aloha! I am currently deployed on the USS MICHAEL MURPHY stationed in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and have decided to the 2018 IFBB Ikaika Classic for Classic Physique.

Well as many people know, I did the first ever WNBF Pro Wheelchair show and took 1st place. Onward and upward to prepping for my next show and a better package. As a truly competitive bodybuilder knows, we are always prepping for one thing or another. I'm not 100% sure were or when...

Damn fam, back in the gym after about a year. Back got tore up... it is good now, yet I’m fat.. stats: 5’8ish 240. Assuming my TDEE is about 2900kcals, so going to start with a daily intake of 2500kcal, with at least 190g of protein a day. In college now, so I will be taking it day by day instead...

So I'm currently 13 weeks out from my next bodybuilding show on April 22nd April 2018 and thought it would be good to document the process. I can also look back in future to make adjustments for future preps. Ill try and keep things relatively simple and concise. Training wise is as follows:...

Decided to remake log. posing at 182.

I know I probably should have made this a while ago, but oh well lol. Just thought it would be cool to keep track of the last 3 weeks and have something to look back on. I've been extremely busy lately with school (keeping a 4.0 gpa), work, and this prep so I'll try my best to keep up with this...

Forgive me in advance for the giant ass wall of text that will be this first page. It's gonna be like 8 or 10 posts of novel-length stuff so bare with me. Well, figured I would make a new log as posting in the teen section and turning 21 this year doesn't really suit me. There isn't really an...

The Next Phase: Balanced, Consistent, and Sustained Progress I began bodybuilding as a poor black child... ...but seriously, I started bodybuilding roughly six years ago. I had no clue what I was doing; just that I wanted to see my abs and get some bigger arms. Since then I've prepped three...
