LOOK AT THIS STAGE.

Every man standing here has a story that started long before the lights came on.

Different bodies. Different battles. Different scars. Different reasons we decided enough was enough.

But somehow, we all ended up standing on the same fucking stage.

This wasn’t just a bodybuilding class.

This was a lineup of men who refused to stay where life had left them.

Some lost 100 pounds. Some lost 200+. Some fought battles nobody in that crowd will ever know about.

And for those few minutes, we weren’t before pictures anymore.

We were the after.

Nothing but respect for every brother who stood up there with me.

The Transformation Class is different. 💪🏽🔥

And I’m damn proud I earned my place among them.

423 lbs → THE STAGE.

All glory to God. 🙏🏽#summershredding2026 #transformation #fitness #wow

Honestly not sure how to even put into words how special @summershreddingchampionship is. I’ve never been in one room where I felt more seen and understood. Truly powerful, incredibly motivating, and the amount of new friends made was insane.

This is my buddy, Jake.

And today, he steps on stage for his FIRST bodybuilding show.

I’ve known Jake since around the beginning of his weight loss journey, and we finally got to meet in person last May. The guy in these first pictures was 336 lbs. Today he’s around 199. Gastric sleeve, two skin removal surgeries, moving to THREE different states throughout all of this… and now we’re here. His very first bodybuilding show.

The reason I wanted to post this though is because of something Jake has told me several times throughout his journey. He’s told me that watching my transformation, watching me step on stage and all the random conversations we’ve had over the years made him believe that maybe he could do something like this too. He told me he never pictured himself bodybuilding before we met.

Then yesterday morning he sent me a message saying, “I wouldn’t have done this show if not for your inspiration.”
And that hit me in anyway I can’t explain.

Because Jake probably doesn’t realize that HE inspires me too. I know how hard it is to look at an old picture of yourself and barely recognize that person. I know how much goes into changing your entire life when nobody sees the day-to-day shit behind the photos. And I know how crazy it feels to eventually do things the old version of you wouldn’t have even believed were possible.

THAT is why I share so much of my own journey. Not because I have everything figured out , trust me, I absolutely do not lol. But because you truly never know who is watching and thinking, “Maybe I can do it too.”

@jake_gets_shredded , I wish more than anything I could be there today. But I KNOW I’ll see you in September in Houston, and I can’t wait to see where you’re at by then.

But today is YOUR day. So when you walk onto that stage, take a second and really look around.

The 336 lb version of you would probably never believe where you’re standing.
But you got him here.
I’m SO damn proud of you, brother. Go enjoy the hell out of today. You earned this.

And I’m not crying right now so SHUTUP. 🥲🥲

5 Simple Truths No One Likes to Talk About

Refusing to start is often fear disguised as procrastination. You’re afraid you won’t succeed, so you never give yourself the chance.

Quitting happens because you’re afraid of failure. It’s easier to walk away than to face the possibility of falling short.

Taking shortcuts comes from fear of how hard the journey will be. You want the result without having to endure the process.

Not following the plan comes from fear it won’t work. So you second-guess it, change it, or stop before you’ve given it enough time.

Not reaching your goals can come down to one thing: you allowed fear to make your decisions for you.
Fear is going to show up.

The question is whether you’re going to let it control you.

Stop asking, “What if I fail?”
Start asking, “What if I succeed?”

I’m so happy to share this portion of last night’s conversation with my incredible client @jake_gets_shredded and @ethansuplee on the @lifelong_ethan_suplee podcast!

It’s surreal and emotional looking back on how far Jake has come and all he’s been through.

This is what not giving up looks like. This is what success looks like. This is what bravery looks like.

This is why I coach. This is for the pure love of life. This is everything.

Jake goes on a bodybuilding stage for the first time in his life in 10 days. Don’t miss it. 💪🔥🏆

Week 3, The grid doesn’t lie.

Jake started this cut at 222.8 lbs. He’s down nearly 8 lbs in three weeks and you can see it happening in real time. His waist is tightening, back is coming in, the work is showing up.

He’s still got 14 weeks to go. This is just the beginning.

Follow us to the stage.

Week 2 check-in for Jake and the scale had other plans this morning.

219.5 this morning is up slightly from last week’s low. And honestly this is exactly where most people quit. They see a number they don’t like and the whole thing falls apart.

But look at these photos. Two weeks of locked in nutrition, hitting his protein, getting his cardio done in the mountains of Steamboat Springs. The body doesn’t lie even when the scale does.

This is the part people don’t like to show you. The frustration is real. The doubt is real. And so is the progress.

Muscle. Mindset. Meaning.
