Show #2 in the books.

🥇 Classic Physique Open Class A
🥇 Classic Physique Overall 
🇺🇸 OCB Natural Pro Status

at @ocbindiana_officialpage. 

What a day. I would be lying if I said I knew I would win this show. Several other guys showed up looking incredible, and that seems to be the standard now with classic. 

All I could do was present my best, and that’s what I did. As the names got called, I couldn’t believe that I won my class. Once I did, I was more fired up than ever for the overall. It was an absolute dogfight, and I’m grateful to have gone against such great competition. 

More than anything, this show filled my heart with the support of my family and friends. My grandma got to see her first bodybuilding show, and I think she enjoyed it! 😅 I couldn’t do this without @geoffreymoore_, who rode with me backstage and acted as a great human lateral raise to get a good pump before going out. 😎

Turning pro here was an amazing experience. With that being said, I have more work to do. I will continue to push for that next level of conditioning, and I will come in far better for these next two shows. @ajmorris_ and I share the same vision, and we’re going to make it happen.

More to come, stay tuned. 🫡

(I have no good pictures from the show, so these will do)

Second show, second overall secured 🗡️ 

Incredible start to his rookie season, and such huge potential ahead of him to unlock.

Prep week 28 - 1 week out

Training clips + PWO shots.

Training performance has begun to regress, which  is expected at this stage. I will always fight to maintain the logbook, but I’ve shifted my priority each session to ensuring I can get a quality stimulus first. 

I don’t believe in drastically reducing weight just because I’m leaner, so I maintain my training style the best that I can while being honest with my capacity.

Hunger is creeping higher with another food drop at the end of this week. Energy is pretty low, too. Weirdly, neither brother me since it tells me the deficit is doing its job.

Rolling into peak week #2 with some slight upgrades in conditioning. Suiting up in the classic trunks for the one-time. 😉

Prep week 27 - 2 weeks out 

Training clips + PWO shots.

I got right back into pushing forward this week with no time wasted. The off-plan meals and celebration will have to wait. 

I had a stint of good energy right after peak week, but that was short lived. Energy is low, hunger is the highest it’s been, and upholding training performance is becoming very difficult despite my best effort.

Every hard day awards new levels of conditioning. To attain something I’ve never had, I will have to do things I’ve never done. I love the challenge since it shows me who I am.

The debut.

🥇Junior Bodybuilding
🥇Open Lightweight Bodybuilding
🥇Overall Men’s Bodybuilding 

At the @michigannpc Great Lakes Natural.

As someone obsessed with the work, it’s difficult for me to stop and appreciate what I’ve done. After letting myself settle down, I’ve come to two conclusions.

1) I am a bodybuilder, and I always will be. I love this sport and everything it has done for me. I wear my heart on my sleeve and take pride in what I do.

2) I am the sum of my support system. Over the past several weeks, I have never felt more encouraged by my friends and family. Of course, none of this would be possible without my two loving parents, my best friend and brother @geoffreymoore_, and my coach @ajmorris_, who is the best in the world at what he does.

With that being said, this is only the beginning. I am hungry for so much more, and the season has just begun.

Prep week 25 - 1 week out

Training clips + PWO shots.

Here we are. Wrapped up the final week of hard training before show #1, with some much needed de-volume sessions coming up. 

Certainly feeling the effects of getting leaner, especially the lower energy. Regardless, I’m keeping my foot on the gas. 

Excited for my first ever peak week, which begins tomorrow. I’m staying present and loving every moment. 

Let the fun begin. 😎

Prep week 24 - 2 weeks out

Training clips + PWO shots.

This week was more relaxed, giving me more time and energy to put towards bodybuilding. Move-in to school went pretty smoothly, and I’m happy with my set up here. 

With that, energy is getting low and I find myself dragging my feet to get through the day. I’m pushing hard to maintain performance, and it’s holding well despite the exhaustion. 

Just two weeks until show #1. Food has been dropped a touch to reach acceptable condition before shifting into peak week. This is gonna be fun. 😁

Prep week 23 - 3 weeks out

Training clips + PWO shots

Bit of a busier week with the end of this internship, moving back home, and then moving out to Michigan in a few days. 

Nevertheless, nutrition and training have been on ten, and bodyweight is moving in the right direction with the food drop last week. 

Definitely more lethargic this week, but peak week number one isn’t far off. Gonna be fun to watch, stay tuned.
