View Full Version : RJ Perkins "4P Journey" first time to the platform!



Mr. Aestheticz
03-06-14, 11:15 am
Whats good folks for anyone who may now know me my name is RJ Perkins and I am a professional natural bodybuilder I have been a FORUM member here on Animal going on 6 years now.I have been honored ot be associated with the members and staff of the Animal/Universal community/business. I have been quiet on here for a while with so much going in my personal life getting married, taking a solemn break from bodybuilding, starting m own physique coaching business, and more. So I wanted to get back on the FORUM where it is a truly solid community and really not filled numb nuts and dick heads to keep it quite honest.

So with taking a break form bodybuilding there has been a growing trend of people competing in powerlifting, this has been a long term goal I have had for the longest but with other priorities had to put on hold. I have now been in prep for about 17 weeks now with 35+ weeks left as the meet will be in November local to here in Raleigh, NC. It is a USAPL sanctioned event and I am still debating if I will be competing in the 181 or 198 class as currently my average weight avg. is 191 lbs

I just want to be able to post my journey as I have in the past, I shared my 2008 journey in here to my first natural bodybuilding show where I won both my classes as well best posing award. Also I shared my 2010 journey where I obtained my natural pro card, and more. Any questions in regards to my training, progress, nutrition and more feel free to ask me here, thanks for everyone's support.

Current Split
Monday: Bench
Tuesday: Squat
Wednesday: Plyometric work
Thursday: Overhead Press
Friday: Deadlift

No specific name to the program just something I used to utilize back in the day. pretty much it is a progressive load/volume approach with a focus around percentage periodization.

Nutrition
Low Days: 180 pro / 430 carbs / 115 fat
Normal Days: 180 pro / 575 carb / 105 fat
High Days: 180 pro / 680 carb / 85 fat

Low days I eat when off form the gym, normal days when in the gym, high days only when needed no specific rotation as I eat enough to support recovery, performance etc.

Stats
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: Avg. 191 (still in works if compete in 181 or 198 class)
Bench: current 275 (with pause) / goal 315 (with pause)
Squat: current 435 / goal 500
Deadlift: current 470 / goal 550 - 600

Power meet is not officially scheduled but will be in November local here in North Carolina and is a USAPL meet.

Testing my new official 1 rep max and must say overall very happy and pleased. In all I will call this an overall PR as I have hit 500 lbs about 5 years ago but when I weighed 240 lbs. Now I am hitting the same numbers averaging a weight of 194/195 lbs. I am just hat much closer to my initial goal of 500!

Spent 24 of my 29 years born and raised on this planet in Connecticut and have been a fan of UCONN since day one. I was born a Husky, my dream was to play football for the program but ehhh that didn't happen lol.

Either way from day one my dad to my brother every roof we lived under we were born and bred as Huskies. I can admit 100% that i did not have the home team winning the tournament this year. Hell I didn't have them getting past the sweet 16, but just goes to show that is why in sports regardless of who the teams are and even if there is no doubt who is going to win THEY PLAY THE GAME(S).

Great win for the home state and truly speaks volumes for what Kevin Ollie has been doing since the departure of legendary coach Jim Calhoun, NEXT UP UCONN WOMEN!

UCONN women again made history by winning another national championship BUT doing it while completing a perfect season. ALSO for the second time in NVCAA history and for the second time UCONN being the institution to do so both Men and Woman's teams won a national title. another great year for the University of Connecticut for the home state team. Congratulations again to the women on another impressive season by the players and legendary coach Geno Auriemma!

One of the many things in sports in general is blaming ones success, strengths, and more on their GENETICS. Or blaming your lack of results and improvements on your GENETIC limitations is a COP OUT, so I pretty much toughed on that in my new video.

Missed all of last week on social media and missed 2 of my 5 prep training sessions as well. All because my job had its annual business year kick off and a full week of celebration and gatherings. Normally in the past I would be pissy and truly sob that I missed the gym thinking I lost all my gainzz. Truth behold I have realized the more I exceed at my career and the more I exceed with Aesthetics Training & Nutrition the more it is the things I do outside of the work place and outside of the gym that truly make me better as a person.

The gym, bodybuilding, and powerlifting is everything to me and my business is everything to me. I have evolved as a HUMAN these past 2 years with because I have learned to stop STRESSING and sweating the little things. I have been doing this life style too long to be worrying about any gain or loss. I work too hard and have worked too hard in getting my career where it is and where I am actually happy. This is what I teach and preach to all my clients and that if you do not work and get paid you cannot go to a gym to train, eat the food needed, and sleep in a bed.

Unless the gym, coaching, and more IS your full time job you have to keep things in perspective on what are and will be more important for you, your family, and hell even your retirement lmao!

I am a huge proponent in balance in eating choices and being able to have fun/enjoy the foods you eat. One thing that happens a lot for those tracking macros is they try to find constant reasons that as long as you get the restaraunts nutrition values you can track accurately to eat at a specific place.

This is false, prime example Chipotle, yes you can eat within a balance stigma but that burrito you built from their site to track macros is not going to add up to what they give you in person. So in other words make the foods you enjoy yourself to effectively track your intakes.

Prime example below I was able to make two large burritos for my post work out meal and it was as good if not better than if I got one out at a restaraunt and it did not effect my nutrition goals. Look at the kcal value for these two I made and imagine what it would when made by someone else?

Again not saying you cannot enjoy outsourced foods but ultimate control by you in making your foods is the lines in your It's and dots on your I's with detail.

Shot some footage on 4/25 of my deadlift session. Deads are my best lift like many others and with that in developing long term I have been utilizing and doing more and more belt-less training. So hit 435 i believe in this footage for 6 without a belt, not amazing but not weak compared to many others. In all still much work to be done!

Note: Really wanted 290 but got 285 which is a 5 lb pr over two weeks. Not really stressing minimal progress in the bench as it is truly a process.

I have grasped that volume in regards to hyper rep ranges 6-10 are my strong points but once i get in the 1 2 or 3 range loads is a battle. So my next cycle will adjust and focus on load trainnig

Things didn't go exactly as planned but am not really upset as I kind of shot myself in the foot. I thought athletes would/were putting chalk on their things/quads to help with grip and pulling but to what I was told it is actually baby powder. So what happened was the bar was grabbing my quads and literally pulling and rolling my tissue so that I could not pull the bar up. Lesson learned and excited to what is to come when I actually am more smart on my approach.

This past weekend was the No gear Classic promoted by IFPA Pro William Powell and I attended and was back stage with my client Allie who took 3rd in women's figure debut. Though very happy for her she is not satisfied but grind we will.

Was great to see everyone from friends and clients to come out and support the natural physique movement.

If you have one, what's the structure like for your assistance movements? Seems everything is really specific in your training, and I know you tend to be very detailed

That's a big ass DL session

If you have one, what's the structure like for your assistance movements? Seems everything is really specific in your training, and I know you tend to be very detailed

On my specific days ie bench squat and deads i want to pick movements that will aid in the movements themselves

so with my bench it could be a antagonistic movement or just incorporating another dymanic of the movement speed, load, pin press, board press etc. for squats i focus on the hips and glutes along with lower back so barbell glute bridges, abductor, glute ham raise etc. same with deadlift good mornings, cable pull through and more.

For me It shouldnt be just do this because just to do it it should serve a purpose.

Monday 6/2/14

Update: I was out of the gym all of the week of 5/26-6/1 I tweaked my psoas again doing paused deads and more. So I have experienced this issue before in the past and I can say that my recovery was its best ever. So with that I am easing my way back in and not fully back to day one but back to the 10's, 8's, etc. rep range. So just reestablishing my CNS and again easing the loads in so not to jump the gun and possibly do more damage that needed. Also this was kinda of my fault as I was to take a deload after hit my new 1 rm's but was back in the gym etc. so me on average i need to deload every 4-6 weeks. So back after it an on we go!

I have been extremely lazy in updating my site, progress, training, and so much more. Let me tell you I have been slammed with my full time job with major projects and presentations, as well hectic with Aesthetics Training and Nutrition. It is all good busy that I am blessed and grateful for. As well though I was in a bit of a funk, not hungry, not motivated, and not really feeling the gym , prep, and more. No one will openly admit they go through mental battles and struggles with hindrance around their persona. Me I personally give two shits what people think and judge me by, I have mental battles where I simple do not even want to do anything. Hell to be fully honest I am sick and tired of the countless benching, squatting, and deadlifting.

A lot of times I just want to go in the gym do what I want and have fun, experiment, mix things up, and just get back to how training used to be for me. With that though I am close to 18 weeks out and it has retriggered that spark in me feeling confident, happy, and refocused. Life has its ups and downs, i was on a sick roll, got sidelined for a week, came back not so hot, but now catching pace again. Simply put there is no perfect feeling or process for your everyday life and goals. You just need to establish the reality of the world around you and who you are as a person. Next week should be back to normal and catching up and keeping up to par with everything.

Again always grateful and appreciative of everyone's love and support!

Thanks!

Have been feeling better lately and a bit more motivated and things (knock on wood) have been going well with training in regards to finding a rhythm. Will do a better job on updating accordingly along with providing more insight and details as to how everything goes. So now I 17.85 weeks out and have 2 more weeks left in my current cycle and will be testing my 1rm's in 3 weeks.

Brick by brick I build!

Notes: Don't know what happened Friday but got touched and possessed by something. Hit a new 3 rep PR on deads yesterday of 500 x 3, was only supposed to get and go for 2 but 16 weeks out and testing next week I pretty much said frig it.

Now if you have never seen a picture or video I have posted to answer about my form choice, I pull conventional with a hook grip. Still much work to be done and with truly 12 full dedicated weeks it is time to bog down and tighten it up.

So have been trying to be a lot better on posting updates and more on my training and so forth. Still going to do so but will also try my absolute best to try and edit/load video logs as well. So with that here is some insight and updates on what has been going on and happening.

1.) Last week was my week to test for new 1 rm's and all previous tests I have done I made huge leaps and bounds. This time around as I have been told in the past "you will eventually get to a point where you are fighting for 5 lb pr's" and that is the truth. This is what my current 1rm's look like

Paused Bench = 290 / previous was 285 so a 5 lb pr
Squat = 510 / previous was 500 so a 10 lb pr
Deadlift = 535 / previous was 525 so a 10 lb pr

2.) Aesthetics T&N has been booming and I have been hectic with that as well, between working my full time job and running ATN I have been absolutely bombed.

3.) Personal life is busy as well spending a lot of time with my wife just doing small things here and there. Preparing for a full week away in the Dominican Republic for our 1 year anniversary in October and holy shit so much more.

4.) This Saturdauy 7/26/14 will officially put me at 14 weeks out from my meet. After USAPL nationals being this past weekend 7/19/14 it def humbles me as well motivates me to see the numbers/figures these men and women put up. I have some serious work ahead of me and it is truly going to be a grind narrowing things down these next few weeks.

5.) As well just been trying to hide in the dark a bit all the work with a full time job, running my small business, training, personal things, social media, emails, training, and more sometimes shit can get overwhelming and simply put I just don't want to be fucking bothered lol. Some people might say you shouldnt say that but screw that I am human. I love my life, I am blessed, and truly grateful but sometimes the off switch just needs to be flipped and seclude away from all the things in and on the world.

In all I am here making things happen and grinding just mentally, physically, and emotionally executing and treading along!
