You put months into building your physique. Give yourself the practice to present it. 🎯

Proud of my posing clients/friends who stepped on stage this past weekend at @wjc_productions .Thank you for trusting me with this part of your preparation and putting in the work behind every pose.

These practice-to-stage moments are why I love teaching.

Foot placement. Hip position. Breathing. Transitions. Learning how to hold a pose while making it look effortless. Small details that help you showcase the physique you worked so hard to build.

My goal is to help each athlete understand their structure, highlight their strengths, and develop a presentation that feels natural to them.

Watching you take those lessons onto the stage means a lot to me as a coach. You deserve to feel proud of that work.

Getting ready for your next show? DM me “POSING” to work on your stage presentation.

Seven months of blood, sweat, and tears… all leading up to the Whitney Jones Classic. ❤️💪

The 2:40 a.m. wake-ups to be at the gym by 4. The weekly grocery shopping, food prep, grilling, supplements, posing sessions, and check-ins. Building our days around a goal we were determined to see through together.

There were highs and lows. Days we felt strong and days the mental exhaustion had us questioning whether we had what it would take. We watched our bodies change seemingly overnight and discovered muscles we never knew we had. Along the way, we learned just how much we were capable of—even on the days we doubted ourselves.

We learned that we can do hard things. And during all of this, we got engaged! 💍

Norah, you saw every version of me through this prep—the tired, the hungry, the frustrated, and the determined. You understood what this took because you were living it right beside me, chasing your own goal while supporting mine.

One thing is certain: I could not have done this without my best friend by my side. I’m so proud of you and everything we put into these past seven months.

Thank you, Norah, my fiancée, my lil bestie. I love you. What a way to start this next chapter together. ❤️

As I look back and think about the last show it was great has the best moment of my life getting engaged to my wife. Now fast forward I step on stage tomorrow and life has change so much since last show and I have meet so many people along the road. First of I wanna say thank you to my wife @ryon_gurl for being in my corner the whole time and pushing me to do my best. To everyone else who has had either supported me through this prep or even just asked me how I’m doing thank you this prep was not the easiest dealing with grief, stress, and calve issues bad enough to where I couldn’t do stair master. But we fucking made it and I can’t wait to be back stage and soak In all the new moments that will be made this show. So as my office partner @azng.cortes would say “let’s get this bread!!” Results will be tomorrow 😈🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

220 LBS. WE FUCKING MADE IT. ❤️

I’ve stared at this goal for so long that seeing 220 on the scale honestly doesn’t feel real.

This number represents so much more than weight lost. It represents the early mornings, the hunger, the cardio, the training, the discipline, the setbacks, and every single time I chose not to quit.

But I didn’t get here alone.

To my wife, my family, my friends, my coach, and every single person who has supported, encouraged, checked on, and believed in me along the way — thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Over 100 pounds gone. A completely different man gained.

220 was my first ultimate goal.

Today, I reached it. Tomorrow, we keep fucking going. ❤️

What separates you from everyone else?

It’s the willingness to keep practicing, even when I’m the one teaching.

The more I practice, the better I teach.
The more I teach, the more I learn.
The more I learn, the better I can help.
And through helping others, I become better myself.

Today’s posing clinic reminds me why I love my work. Every athlete brings a different physique, a different challenge, and another opportunity to grow as a coach and athlete myself.

I hold myself to the same standard I ask of my athletes: keep showing up, stay open to feedback, and put intention into every rep.

Thank you to everyone who came out, practiced, asked questions, and shared their knowledge today.

Save this as a reminder to keep sharpening your craft.
