NPC Southern Muscle Showdown 🏆

Men’s Physique
🥇 Open Class D — 1st Place
🥉 Masters 35+ — 3rd Place

Another show in the books!

This prep definitely came with its share of challenges and unexpected setbacks. Things didn’t always go according to plan, but we adapted, figured things out, and kept pushing forward. Not everything was perfect, but I’m proud of what we were able to accomplish.

Special shoutout to @flexnstein for your guidance, dedication, and support throughout the final stretch of prep. I also received some great feedback from the judges into areas we can continue improving. We’ve got some big plans ahead, and I’m excited to see what we can accomplish together in 2027! 💪🏼

Huge thank you to @theathleticstandard and @marlieberger_fit for helping keep my body together throughout this prep. Between the training, cardio, and everything in between, recovery was just as important as the work itself. Appreciate you both for keeping me moving and ready for show day!

To my friends and family, thank you for the constant love, encouragement, and support throughout this journey. Whether you checked in, pushed me, or cheered me on, I appreciate every bit of it!

Special thanks to @southernmuscleshowdown and the entire Southern Muscle Showdown team for putting together an incredible event and giving us athletes the opportunity to showcase our hard work! 👏🏼

The work is far from finished. Stay tuned! 🔥

New 10k and 10 mile PR, 6 weeks since my previous attempt. 4:21 faster 10 mile, 19 bpm lower, 125 more feet in elevation. And I'm down 14 pounds.

19 weeks to marathon. Let's get it.

After pushing my limits in a back workout yesterday, I’m reminded that in all facets of life, true progress comes from consistent effort. Every challenge faced is an investment in tomorrow’s success. I’m starting to see the beauty in applying this mindset beyond just bodybuilding. The best part of stepping back from the gym has been realizing how these lessons can enrich my personal and professional life. Any good thing won’t come easy, and it will take time.. but that’s what makes it worth it.

To all of you grinding out there, remember.. Work your ass off, stay patient, stay focused, and trust the process. The results will come.

The plan was to see what I could pull for 5 today to test if I could deadlift without irritating my groin. 495 moved like butter sooo I did 11. 545 not so much 🤣😂 For my first time deadlifting in 5/6 months, ill take it. I’m just really excited to start chasing progression again.
This week was a really big win for me. Nagging injuries seem to be behind me and I’m back in that zone where I’m visualizing my top sets for the next session as soon as I leave the gym 😵‍💫 WORK TO DO
