Little outdoor posing sesh to feel something again. And by feel something I mean feeling gassed! Posing is harder when you’re heavier 😆

Posing in the off season is key. It allows you to pick out weak points and improve on them. By the time you are prepping for a show, it’s too late. You are not going to add muscle tissue in a caloric deficit.

Want to change your body? Hit me up! I am now coaching with @fittwavecoaching

Me and my stupid lil outdated playlist 👨‍🎤

A great bodybuilding coach will guide you through your contest prep, nail the peakweek before the show, and get you on the right path to growth while minimizing fat gain after the show. That’s exactly how we do it at @fittwavecoaching - science backed approach with old school grit mentality.

Counting macros is important when it comes to body recomposition, but I rank emphasis on whole foods equally as important.

Did you know that the FDA allows for a 20% margin of error with nutritional labels? It might not seem like a big deal, but that 20% adds up quick especially when you are preparing for a bodybuilding contest!

This Saturday! It’s your time! 🔥 ONE WEEK OUT. 🔥

That’s it.

In less than one week, athletes from across the region will step onto the OCB KC Muscle Smoke Show stage and put months of dedication on display. 🏆

At this point, the work has been done.

Now it’s about staying locked in, trusting the process, and getting ready for that moment when your name is called.

The nerves are real.
The excitement is real.
The anticipation is real.

But so is the feeling of finally seeing all that hard work come together.

WHO’S READY FOR SHOW DAY? 👀

Athletes — drop your division below.
Spectators — tag the person you’re coming to support.

🏆 COMPETITION TAN MISTAKES CAN RUIN AN OTHERWISE GREAT PEAK WEEK.

Your physique can be stage-ready, but a bad tan can completely change how your conditioning, symmetry, and muscle separation look under stage lights.

Before you step on stage, make sure you know how to avoid the big ones:

❌ Applying coats too thick
❌ Missing areas like elbows, knees, hands & feet
❌ Getting uneven or streaky coverage
❌ Shaving too close to your tan
❌ Sweating, showering, or getting wet at the wrong time
❌ Touching your tan and creating fingerprints or rub marks
❌ Waiting until show day to figure everything out

The goal isn’t just to be DARK. It’s to be EVEN, CLEAN, and STAGE-READY.

I break down the biggest tanning mistakes, timing, application, and show-day prep in the full video.

🎥 Full breakdown on YouTube:

Save this for peak week and send it to your training partner who is getting ready for their next show.

No surprises on show day. Come prepared. 💪

I often hear people talking about finding themselves. The search is an exercise in futility, in my opinion. The self is not found. It’s created- it is best to stop looking and start working.

2023-2026. 100% natural transformation.

POV: my clients when they start
noticing their progress.

Eating more food and losing body fat. Listen, it takes time and patience.

We want to ensure data collection and ensure progress is being made in all lifestyle areas.
This includes: steps per day, sleep, stress management, relationship with food, and training emphasis.

Progress is not overnight so stick with it 💪🥳🎃

The low cable row. This is an amazing movement for building your back when done properly. As I mention in the video, if you implement this range of motion, I highly recommend starting light.

I often hear about people injuring themselves because they emphasize the elongated portion of the movement with too much weight too soon. There is no time or energy that should be wasted on trash form with too much weight. FEEL the movement each repetition. Most will go too heavy and leave the gym on their back day with nothing but a pump in their traps and biceps.

Listen 👂I am not against medication and science based applications when conducted with medical supervision and understanding.

But, a lot of people are asking their health professionals to get access to medications or skipping the core principles

Think of building a house…

Metaphorically specific terms here…

If you build the roof first without a solid foundation it will collapse no matter how well you shingle and create a roof.

So if you’re not focusing on healthy habits of walking over 6,500 steps per day, cardiovascular dedicated exercise paired with strength training. You’re focusing on long term failure with your progress.

Here’s some stats for you with medications and weight GAIN after stopping GLP (glucagon-like peptide-1, a natural hormone produced in your gut that regulates blood sugar, slows digestion, and controls appetite). 🤘💪

Why?

Many lack the skills necessary to focus on weight maintenance and are hyper fixated only on lbs or kg on the scale.

Medication / study Weight lost on treatment Weight regain after stopping
Semaglutide 2.4 mg (STEP 1 extension) 17.3% over 68 weeks 11.6 percentage points over the following year, or about two-thirds of weight lost.

Tirzepatide (SURMOUNT-4) 20.9% over 36 weeks 14% weight gain from the withdrawal-period starting weight over 52 weeks.
GLP-1 medication meta-analysis (2025 preprint) Multiple medications and trials Estimated 75.6% of lost weight eventually regained, with about 40.2% of the original weight loss still maintained at one year.

So think about your goals work with your body to understand the basic principles first. Now if you’ve been grinding away and are doing each lifestyle area to your best, we should chat or get you connected with a physician.

Moments before I earned my pro card. Over 15 years of hard work leading up to one moment.

In my earlier years of training, I had a lot of self doubt and issues with confidence. Over the years as my body started to change, so did my mental fortitude and grit. I think this is why I love bodybuilding so much. It’s not about beating a PR or a number on your watch, like when I trained in endurance sports. It’s about constant improvement and beating the last version of yourself. It really is you vs. you.
