My story and why I coach...

I spent 20 years working my way towards a dream. That dream was to be a successful professional wrestler.

In 2020, I did it. I signed with WWE. I had my dream job, but I did not look the part. My ability could only take me so far, and 6 months later I was released along with several others.

Instead of this obstacle, I decided this was my opportunity to try something different...something I truly needed to do. I intentionally gain weight. For the first time ever, I allowed myself to fuel my body and to put on size.

When I leaned down, surprise, surprise, I looked infinitely better. I was starting to truly look the part.

Then, tragedy hit again. I tore my biceps wrestling and was going to be out for at least 6 months.

During this time, I did something else I never had done before. I hired a coach @coachandrepelser. I wanted to come back from injury looking better than ever. He kicked my ass a lot, especially the first month or so, but he helped me achieve exactly what I wanted. I came back looking CRAZY.

I was so inspired by what this man did for me, that I decided I wanted to do the same for others. After all, I had a Masters in Exercise Science already, and had been training and looking at research for over 10 years.

So, now that is what I do when I am not on your television screen fighting people in my underwear.

Helping people change their lives is probably one of the most rewarding things I have ever done, and certainly rivals anything I have ever done in the ring.

That being said, if you are ready to "BE A WORKHORSE" Then hit me in the DMs and we can get started. by @anthonyphenry

Most fitness programs fail men over 35 for one reason:

They start with workouts and diets…

When the real problem is your system.

You don’t need another random meal plan.
You don’t need 6 gym days.

You need a protocol that rebuilds the man first — and the physique second.

That’s exactly what the Workhorse Second Prime Protocol does.

It’s a 4-phase system designed for busy men in their late 30s and 40s who want to reclaim the body they used to have.

Phase 1: The Rewire
We start with a full lifestyle audit — sleep, nutrition habits, activity, routines. Most men have leaks in their system. We plug those leaks and install daily non-negotiables so progress stops relying on motivation and starts relying on systems.

Phase 2: The Incinerator
Now we turn up the heat. Strategic calorie deficit, step targets, efficient hypertrophy training, and progressive overload. This is where most clients drop 8–12% of bodyweight while building a physique worth showing.

Phase 3: The Reforge
Most programs fail here. They teach fat loss but not maintenance. We slowly raise calories, stabilize metabolism, normalize hunger, and lock in the results so the fat doesn’t come back.

Phase 4: The Rebuild
Now we build the physique properly. Calories stay around maintenance (maybe slightly above) while intense training adds lean muscle. No dirty bulk. The goal is simple: grow without gaining the fat back.

Inside the program you get:

• Training and nutrition delivered through the Workhorse Training App
• A fully customized nutrition plan built around your life
• Access to the Workhorse Strong community
• Direct coaching with me

Follow the system and the result is a complete 6-month transformation — physically and mentally.

Most of my clients are good fathers and hardworking men who simply lost their way physically.

They think their prime is gone.

It’s not.

You just never had the right protocol.

I was hired by WWE at 37, and then signed by AEW at 38.

The best thing to happen to me was 100% having my daughter.

She gave me purpose...a reason to begin showing up as who I could be, not who I currently was.

I went to school, got my education, focused on my dream of being a successful pro wrestler, and became the best dad I could be.

Really I have to thank her for all the success I have had in this life. by @anthonyphenry

The method to never get gassed in the ring again:

2 sessions per week
- works best if you have access to a ring
- Next best options are the assault bike, a rower, ski erg, or sled.

Session 1:

Alactic Power:
All out effort for 8-10 secs, rest 1:30-2:00. Repeat for 10-12 rounds.
Ring access: drop down into leap frog

Session 2:
Alactic capacity:
All out effort for 30 secs, rest 90 secs. Repeat 8-10 rounds.
Ring access: Constant up and overs.

That's going to 75-80% of your conditioning work in the ring. If you want to get to 100%, add in some slow steady state for 30-45 mins 1-2 times a week.

If you found this helpful, give me a follow and share!

Age is just a number and life is whatever you make of it.

I make the world my bitch...

Here are 5 non-negotiables that help me hold a high standard for myself.

1) I eat the same shit everyday (mostly). It makes nutrition so easy. If you are someone who says they can't live that way, then you don't see the value in structure, and that's a problem.

2) I get a minimum of 10,000 steps a day. Why? Because it's such an easy lever to pull for increasing energy expenditure.

3) I strength train 4-5 times per week because I want to hold on to all the muscle I have spent years acquiring and hopefully grow a little more.

4) I choose something hard everyday . Doing hard things purposely builds resiliency in your life. It will help you prepare for life's troubles in the future.

5) I do some sort of conditioning at least twice per week. Not cardio....conditioning. Cardio is movement. Conditioning is intentional training with a purpose.

What are your non-negotiables? Drop them below. If you don't have any, make sure and stick to them. It will change your life for the better! by @anthonyphenry

Don't get gassed. It is pretty embarrassing, especially at the top level.

Let's get you signed.

The last 2 years have not been kind to me.

I went so long without having any serious injuries, and now they seem to be piling up.

This is definitely the scariest one because I don't know what is gonna happen.

I intend to come back looking like the best possible version of myself. by @anthonyphenry

Working with Workhorse Training & Nutrition is a different experience than training with other coaches.

This is a one stop shop for all things professional wrestling. The physique and conditioning is the first step, but you will gain so much more.

The body is the first promo you cut. If you step out of that curtain looking like a star, you have already made your job so much easier.

This program is all encompassing. Learn what discipline is first, and then the standard for everything else you need rises too.

DM ENGINE if you are ready to raise the standard. by @anthonyphenry

This is only the beginning. 3 months in and we are looking like this? Wait until we get 6 months in.

We are growing in every way a pro wrestler needs to grow.

I look forward to watching Noah continue to progress.

You're a pro wrestler and have no idea how to get lean, here is your answer.

It all comes down to nutrition. In order to make this easy for you, I created four meal plans that will help you burn fat and get TV-ready

Four different meal plans designed for four different calorie and protein amounts.
