Better version of my expression. My win after a decade chasing this vision 🏆 by @cd__chen1987

Better version of my posing routine 😆 by @cd__chen1987

It's almost 3am. Finally answered all the dms. And I THANK YOU EVERYONE of YOU AGAIN!! Posting IFBB status is not the first priority in my list. That's my last thing on my list. I need to thank everyone for the support and positive energies given to me to push to be at my best.

Did I want ever want to quit? 120%! Last year, I had the highest expectations coming from a win. And I came dead last while I brought my family to see my dream become reality. From being disappointed to depress. I felt I let my family and everyone. But I was blessed with my family and telling me to just try again and try to pick me back up again. Absolutely I have to thank my brother from another mother @todd__justin he's the first man told me "You will win next year and you're the next Shaun Claudia". I lost my ambition and confidence. I told myself I'm going to try pro card one last time before I called it quit. Man, it made me work as smart and hard as I ever thought in my life. Especially I think about I NEED to create legacy and role model to my son Jin.

My coach @justin_randall91 is the 2nd person I'm gonna the Claudia for overall. I didn't if I could or not. But if you watch posing routine. Damn... my coach is the man of his word 👊 🏆

So many people I have to say thank you. But my ig won't fit to all lol But this person I must and have to thank you to public. I always keep family in privacy, but this time, i must put it out in public. My wife @jade___ma she helped from all groceries, managing all bills, taking care of our tenants and our son, and cooked my cook all food. Even when we had our tough times. She refused to leave me on curb and stood by my side. I truly couldn't be more proud of you being my wife, and I'm glad we were able to sort our problems out and back to 1 team again. ❤️

Mission is not over yet. I will continue to make daily videos to inspire/help motivate people visions. If you watch my last video and see how I reacted when my DREAM BECOME VISON. It feeling F*CKING AWESOME!!!!

I thank you everyone again! When I see you guys/girls, I'm gonna give all you a big 🫂 like or not!!! 😊 Thank you for your time to read my expression ❤️ by @cd__chen1987

Olympia got me pumped up, so I had to hit a pose I haven't tried in a few years. Waist control is everything now.

Left side: Full tank after a solid weekend refeed.

Right side: Flatter, but structure is there

Not too bad for a comeback in this pose! 🔥💪

Women spend so much time chasing smaller. Chasing a certain look. The perfect figure.

I wish someone had told me sooner to chase strength instead. 💪

The other day, my dad told me he was hanging something at home when his knee suddenly gave out. Thank goodness there was a ladder beside him to grab.

All I could think was, what if it had not been there?

Then yesterday, I caught up with my old fitness coach @cd__chen1987. We ended up talking about how our bones can become more fragile as we age and how strength training helps support our muscles, balance, and bone density.

For years, I trained to look good.

It took me reaching my 40s to understand what I was really building.

Being smaller does not always mean being healthier.

Strength is being able to carry yourself through every stage of life.

What is one small thing you can do for your future self this week? 👇

The last judge’s feedback was clear: build bigger legs. Message received.

Currently in my 24th week health phase, but progress hasn't slowed down a bit. I’ll say it with full confidence. My leg development stands at the top in my gym. And no, this isn't a average commercial setup. I’m grinding alongside IFBB pros and top national amateurs every single day.

What you see is what you get. No AI, no Photoshop tricks. Some filters (I suck at finding good lighting ok? 😂).

As long as I execute those two things. Keep myself healthy and injury free. I genuinely believe I will stand on that Olympia Open 212 stage one day before I call it a career.

Throwback Thursday: 2023 vs. 2024 Progress 🏆

Since tomorrow is the N.A bodybuilding show. Good time to post this 😂

Throwing it back today with a comparison I’ve somehow never made until now. Looking back at stage photos from 2023 to 2024, I honestly couldn't believe the difference.

The scale weight between these two shows barely changed, but seeing the side-by-side progression left me completely blown away. The craziest part? Seeing how much the hamstring drop improved on the right-side picture during my side chest. That year I only hit legs about once a month (ask @todd__justin, my training partner/brother from another mother, he’s my witness 😂).

We all know hard work is a given in this sport. That’s just baseline. But looking at this physique transformation reminded me I didn't win because of just "hardwork".
Huge thank you to the core team in my corner who made this possible:

Paul
Todd
Jade
Justin

And most importantly, my biggest motivation—my son, Jin. ❤️

Wishing everyone competing tomorrow the absolute best of luck out there! Go bring your best to that stage.

The next time I step out for my second pro show, expect another level of progress. Coming from last place (2023) to a win (2024) at the N.A taught me what’s possible, and I’m making the exact same promise for my next debut. 🏆⭕ by @cd__chen1987

Here I thought the pump couldn't get any better. Proven wrong! My arms cramped up during the arm/thigh pose. Glad I released fast! First time ever having an issue pulling off a side chest, that's how insane the pump was. 🤣

Weight is moving up smoothly, the physique finally feels balanced, and the symmetry is right back where I like it to be. But the real game-changer is finally resolving those old joint issues. Being able to train pain-free and load up the plates with my old intensity and zero hesitation. Especially on leg day! It's s a feeling I haven't had in a long time.

Maximizing every bit of this health phase before I go Super Anabolic mode.

Side note: Some young guys asked if I had like 10k followers and if I was competing at the Olympia this year. Unlucky for me, those 10k followers aren't following yet! 🤣 But as for the Olympia? I told them, "Not yet."

Let's work. 🏆⭕ by @cd__chen1987

If someone told me before that they were making real progress during the health phase, I would’ve called them Cheaters LOL. But I’m living proof it’s possible!

Even though we kept the health phase going to sort out my lipid numbers, gradually pushing more food has completely fired things up 🔥. 2 lbs difference between these pics from last week to today. My strength is up and body composition looks even better!

@christuttle.rd Am I freak yet? Jk, I'm not just a sleeping machine and a garbage can Hahaha

Hey @todd__justin , my legs are still tender and sore after last Sunday’s workout... doesn’t that bring back some good old painful memories? LOL by @cd__chen1987

Health phase week 21 in the books, Week 2 of the "health phase off-season" (whatever that means 🤣).

Easily my favorite condition of the push so far! Waist is tight, conditioning is holding, and the balance is coming together. Arms and back need to start getting it together and grow 🤣, but we're finally starting to appreciate the most muscular! 🛠️ by @cd__chen1987
