We did it!! New IFBB Pro 2023 ✨🙌🏻🙏🏼 I wrote this down as one of my goals for 2023 and I can officially ✅ another box off tonight! Hard work & consistency always pays off, BUT this man right here, my coach @ray_baker_ I can’t even describe how grateful I am, of course I had to put in the work but he is the brains and 🐐behind this success, his passion for this sport is undeniable. When two visions come together, magic happens! Looking forward to seeing what we come up with next, but until then we just soak it all in!

This was 4 years in the making! In that time we have truly become brothers and I’m grateful and joyfully anxious for what is next! Proud of you my dude! Excited to expand on what we have going! It’s so much fun when we love what we do!

‼️Prep update‼️

After watching the @mrolympiallc this weekend we are fired 🆙 to keep pushing the rest of this year!!

We are now 6 & 11 weeks out🏆

Fasted weight is right around 250! As we continue to push conditioning to the level we always get to, this year @ray_baker_ and I have more of a focus to hold if not build upon the size we need to rock with the super heavies!

My back is always an area I’m continuing to improve but I think it’s safe to say we are doing the damn thing this year and have put on some quality size and balance which I can’t wait to showcase🦬 taken in Golden, Colorado by @ray_baker_

straight back to work post show.

time to grow and deliver on the feedback next season 😙

we aren’t in a rush, so we’re taking the time to refine, experiment, and better fit the criteria of the division.

the next time we step on stage, the package will be better and you can count on that.

I’M NOT LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

I don’t measure myself against the average.
I measure myself against the standard I know I’m capable of reaching.

• I thrive off the results I help my clients create.
• Their transformations push me to keep raising my own standard.
• I compete against some of the best athletes in the world in Men’s Physique.
• Every prep requires sacrifice, structure, discipline, and consistency.
• We battle fatigue, hunger, soreness, stress, self-doubt, and days when motivation disappears.
• We have to stay disciplined with nutrition when everyone else is eating freely.
• We have to train when the body is tired and the mind is looking for an excuse.
• We have to perfect posing, conditioning, symmetry, presentation, and confidence.
• We have to accept that progress is not always visible day to day.
• We have to stay mentally strong when comparison starts creeping in.
• We have to trust the process even when the finish line still feels far away.

That’s what separates competitors from everyone else.

I’m not chasing perfection.
I’m chasing improvement.

Better coach. Better athlete. Better physique. Better man.

The goal is simple:
Keep evolving until the version of me walking onto that stage is undeniable. 🏆🔥💪🏽 by @ray_baker_

Potential means nothing without the discipline to develop it.

The work happens long before the lights, the stage, or the recognition. It’s built in the quiet reps, the corrections, the repetition, and the decision to keep showing up when no one is watching.

Discipline turns potential into proof.

The standard is high for a reason.
