Throwing it back to this day 💭

Wishing I could freeze time. It was more than just a win. You all saw the months of prep, followed the journey, encouraged the progress week to week. Celebrated the outcome.

But what you didn’t see was the years of work, sacrifice, the down days, the silent grind. The repetitive habits day to day. Both in and out of the gym.

Many of you compare & assume it’s all “good genetics”, luck, “she’s always looked like that,”
& of course enhancements or some sort or quick fix/supplementation bs.

This journey was more than 6 months, more than a year, damn let’s be real it’s been 10 YEARS in the making. It was no last minute decision. Not a 12 week transformation challenge or quarter life crisis. It’s been a LIFESTYLE.

A lifestyle I decided I wanted to live. One where no matter what happens or comes my way I’ll be able to take it - alone, confident, executing every challenge to the fullest - with a smile on my face.

I learned to stop comparing myself to others and instead surrounded myself with like minded people who push me to challenge myself & not who dwell on negative nonsense.

This prep nor lifestyle wasn’t just a destination—it was the beginning of a journey that taught me the power of passion, distinct belief, and delusional optimism. Every stage prepared me for this, and every moment since has been a reminder to never stop striving for more.

Time is a tool, not an outcome.

Every transformation tells a different story.
Different goals. Different timelines.

None of these happen with a cookie-cutter plan or a guessing game ❌

Every client case is unique, every approach is strategic. We work together as a team through the obstacles until we find what works best.

&& once we find that, we apply the formula:

Consistency + Patience + Execution = Real Results 💯

Whether you’re prepping to step on stage, rebounding from a cycle of setbacks, working through hormone challenges, or chasing mom strength, just know…
Anything is possible when you commit.

DM ‘READY’ when you’re ready to write your own story 📖

Little moment for my guy.

With 8 weeks to go, the goal this weekend was simply to qualify for nationals. && of course, he did just that ✅

But this weekend hit different than I expected.

Bodybuilding is what built our relationship. The last time I saw Derek on stage was May 2024, when our lives were in different places and fate led us to compete at the same show.

From the day I met Derek 5 years ago until now, his mindset, discipline, & work ethic in & out of the gym have never changed. I’ll always say he’s the hardest working, most disciplined person I know. He hasn’t missed a beat: nutrition, training, everything on point. And he does it all for himself, not for anyone watching.

When you see someone every single day, you get so caught up in the journey that you don’t notice how far they’ve come, or how much they’ve impacted your life.

Watching him walk out on stage yesterday, the progress, the confidence, and all the years of work nobody sees came rushing back at once.

This sport is so much more than a sport. It’s hard and it asks a lot of you, but with the right person it pushes you to show up for yourself & for each other. He challenges me to be better every day, and I’m so proud of who we’ve both grown into.

To the guy I met 5 years ago with the man bun, gray sweatpants & the best glutes (which keep getting better 😏)… you’re living every moment you said you would, making your younger self proud, and I’m beyond lucky to be by your side.

To my favorite person, keep doing your thang. 8 weeks to finish the mission 🎯🤠🫶

Woke up 155 today. New high this off season.
Yes, I’m in my luteal phase, but regardless… I have my moments too.

Body dysmorphia is real, && almost everyone in this sport deals with it at some point. The only way through it? Take it head on and learn not to give a f*ck.

What I tell my clients (especially my female clients) in a building phase:

1️⃣Off season, when you step on the scale, do NOT expect a low number. Take that thought and throw it out.

2️⃣ If you want to be better, you have to let go of the old you, and the number you’re still attached to.

3️⃣ Chase strong. Chase taking up space. Beat the log book. Get jacked, bro. 🤘

Don’t let a dumb number on the scale kill the better version of you.

Operation get yoked in full effect 😮‍💨

20 lbs down in 6 months 👊
while traveling, recording, && killing the charts as an independent artist 🎵🔥

When @ryanjessemusic says he’s locking in, he ain’t kidding.

At the start of the year, stress was high. He was dealing with chronic bloat and digestion issues. Working long days in the studio, travel, and trying to find balance in a high-demand creative career.

We pulled back and made sustainable adjustments. Ryan stayed on plan as much as possible, even on the road or when his career tried to pull him otherwise.

Couldn’t ask for a better execution.

So proud of the work he’s put in, in and out of the gym.

LFGG 💪

nowhere near stage ready. not even in a diet phase.

left: 2.5 weeks post show (july ‘24)
right: today, +35 lbs 😅

this is me telling you to take the long off season. the physique you want doesn’t get built in 12 weeks of prep. it gets built over months, years. in the quiet, boring seasons where your life is literally just eating, training hard, && letting your body actually grow.

spend time in the uncomfortable phase. feel fluffy. feel fat. embrace it, it’s all a part of the game.

the stage will always be there. time is the one tool that makes the BIG difference. be patient. it’s worth it 🤞
