NOT A TEAM.
But, an Alliance between COACH and ATHLETE.

“I am lost…” Lost in the music. This is my art. 🎥 8K finals posing routine. by @_shadow_1one
From sunrise to sunset, I’ve been giving this my all. 6 weeks out, busting my ass every day to bring my best package to the stage. Coach @christuttle.rd is leading the way, I’m just trusting….listening, and doing the work. by @_shadow_1one
And just like that, months of hard work came together onstage. Yesterday, my @_shadow_1one prep and posing athletes, @joshstewartofficial and @mario.c.fit competed at @musclecontest West Coast Naturals & Border States. Congratulations to both of my boys for giving it their all and bringing amazing physiques, presentation, and performances. It’s moments like these that remind me how much I love my job and how blessed I am to do what I do. Proud of you both! Posing with the boys! You already know Coach had to get in on it First up, natural @_shadow_1one men’s physique prep athletes @joshstewartofficial making his NPC debut! Josh & I originally worked together on his posing for his first competition on the OCB. He and his previous coach killed that debut, and afterward, he asked me whether I thought he could compete and do well in the NPC. I told him Absolutely! Not just because of his physique and genetics, but because I’d already seen his work ethic firsthand during our posing sessions. We started working together in March, spending 3 months slowly building and learning his body before beginning a 20-week prep in June. I told him from the start that we were taking our time. With him being a natural athlete, I wanted us to be strategic with our adjustments and give him the time he needed to bring his best. Yesterday, that work paid off with two first places and a second place! We entered both West Coast Naturals, the tested show, and Border States, the non-tested show. We wanted to challenge him, and I knew he could hold his own with the big boys. You trusted me and put in the work, brother. Proud of you and everything we accomplished together. What a way to make your NPC debut! Getting @joshstewartofficial pumped up and going over those final posing details before hitting the stage. @joshstewartofficial individual men’s physique prejudging routine at Border States. Time to show what we’ve been working on! Josh in men’s physique true novice comparisons at West Coast Naturals.

I LIVE AND BREATHE THIS. Prejudging Open Bodybuilding Individual routine. @nextlevelmediaa 📸🔥🙏🏼 by @_shadow_1one
Everything I couldn’t put into words, I put into this. by @_shadow_1one
This one was hard for me to open up about, but I wanted to keep it real with you guys. Where my head’s been, what this comeback meant to me, and what’s next. Got a big announcement in here too… hear me out till the end. by @_shadow_1one
Finally got the professional videos & pictures! Time to flood your feed, lol. But no, for real, stepping back onstage after 10 years was unforgettable. Having my friends, athletes, family, colleagues, and the MuscleContest family there supporting me meant everything. Forever grateful. Let’s start with the bodybuilding overall comparisons. Even if I got here by default, lol, I still got to share the stage with two amazing athletes. Posing is my passion. It’s an art, and I hope you could see how much it meant to me and how much time and effort I put into it. More from this weekend to come! by @_shadow_1one
Bodybuilding is a lifestyle. Competing is a luxury. The post show blues still hit, but I didn’t come back after 10 years just to stop loving what I do. Might still have a little unfinished business… How’s everyone feeling after their show and have stepped of that stage? by @_shadow_1one
17 years teaching the art of posing.… and somehow, after all these years, I’m still a student of it. Posing is an art. The body is the canvas, the muscles are the paint, the music is the emotion & every movement is a brushstroke. Together…they tell a story that words never could. This is more than bodybuilding to me. It’s a part of who I am. by @_shadow_1one
I’ve spent so many years being in everyone else’s corner & this weekend, so many of you were in mine. I can’t begin to explain how much that meant to me. Seeing all the love & support reminded me why I fell in love with bodybuilding in the first place. It’s always been about more than building a physique. It’s about building ourselves, friendships, relationships, and memories that last a lifetime. These pictures mean more to me than any trophy ever could. If I didn’t include our picture, please forgive me. I either didn’t have it or couldn’t fit everyone in, but please know how much I appreciate every single one of you. This is my bodybuilding family, and I love you guys. Thank you for making this weekend so special. by @_shadow_1one
As long as it took to get here, just like that, it’s over. That’s why you have to appreciate every moment. Saturday, I stepped back onstage after 10 years away from competing, but never away from the lifestyle. At 46, I wanted to prove to myself that I still had it in me. This prep tested me physically, mentally, and emotionally, but with faith in God, I kept going. I love this lifestyle, and leading by example as a coach matters to me. Having my athletes, friends, and colleagues there made it even more special. Thank you…it meant more than you know. Here’s my lightweight bodybuilding prejudging routine, my first time back onstage in a decade. More from this weekend to come…. Coach: me @mrcshadows @_shadow_1one Posing: ME again @perfectposing Posing suits: @illusionsbyaggie Show tan: @tannedcreations by @_shadow_1one
And the time is finally here. We are officially 1 day out. After 10 years, I’m making my return to the stage. Not because I ever stepped away from bodybuilding, but because I stepped away from competing. For the last 10 years, I focused on my career, my athletes & giving them every ounce of my energy, effort, and dedication. These last 6 months have been some of the most challenging of my life. Without a doubt, the most grueling prep I’ve ever done. Not just because I coached myself while continuing to give my all to my athletes, but because I’m 10 years older, 10 years wiser & I see bodybuilding differently today. Through it all, I’m blessed. By the grace of God, I’m healthy & able to step back on that stage doing something I genuinely love. The work has been done. Tomorrow, we unveil not only 6 months of hard work…sacrifice, but years of dedication to a lifestyle & profession that have given me everything I have today. For THAT, I’m grateful & humbled. Whether I take first or last, it doesn’t matter. In my heart… in my soul, I’ve already won. Tomorrow, we bring this package, polished and ready to showcase the art and love of bodybuilding and posing to the world. by @_shadow_1one
