This sport is so much more than yourself. It’s about the people you meet along the way too. This sport has blessed me with some of my best and closest friends. 

This season highlighted some of the best camaraderie I’ve ever had and felt. The athletes I have met, coached, watched and shared moments with will truly live on with me forever. 

This sport can be filled with a lot of lonely moments and people who want to see you fall. But when you find those who want nothing but to see you succeed and win fill each others cups. 

There’s so much love, joy and success to be felt with one another. When you bond with those who share the passion for bodybuilding it’s like nothing else. No one gets this like they do.

I’m so grateful for all these moments so here’s some memento from this season 🫰🏻💗

(Clearly I love a good cuddle)

The Stage Highlights Your Flaws! Over the past 15 years in the sport, what consistently maximizes a competitors success on stage is their CONDITIONING & PRESENTATION! 

This past weekend my client and friend of the past 4 years, @tlisfit earned the Miss Bikini America 🇺🇸 title @mr.america_official in Atlantic City. 

She made massive progress over the years, but even a large stride in the last 5 weeks from her season opener (more on that in another post). I couldn’t be more happy & proud of her 🙌❤️‍🔥

Watching the competition & who earned top honors reinforces two things 🥇

1️⃣ CONDITIONING 🔪🔥

You can have incredible muscularity, symmetry, and shape, but if you don’t bring the level of conditioning necessary for your division, you’re leaving the door wide open for other competitors.

Conditioning is often what separates the good physiques from the GREAT ones on stage.

2️⃣ POSING & PRESENTATION

You can have the most impressive physique in your lineup, but if you don’t know how to properly DISPLAY it, the judges won’t have a reason to reward it. 

And presentation goes beyond technical posing. Your confidence, composure, and the energy you bring to the stage all matter.

Your posing can either showcase your conditioning or conceal it.

This is why I encourage my athletes to practice posing for 10–15 minutes after every training session during prep.

I’d genuinely rather see you sacrifice a few working sets to practice posing than squeeze in additional training volume at the expense of your stage presentation.

Remember, the judges don’t know or care about how much you lift, what exercises you’re doing, or your body weight.

They’re judging what you actually DISPLAY in that moment.
.
I’ve personally “beat” other athletes who have a more aesthetic physique & better muscularity / proportions … but my conditioning as well as my presentation created the gap on stage necessary for me to be rewarded.
.
Huge shoutout to Timea’s posing coach @gabrielacastillofit for having her presentation on point 🎯🤌

We’ve been working today since 2022 and her progress over the last 4 years has been incredible. At 46 years young, she inspires me in so many ways and I love her truly artistic expression through this discipline.

This prep went extremely smooth, from start to finish, and her execution is always one of an elite professional - it’s who she is. 
More on her prep and her transition from figure to bikini in a later post.

Huge congrats to my friend and client @tlisfit for taking it all today at the @ocbliberty_natural 🏆🥇
.
At 46 years young, she brings such an impressive physique and she’s earned every bit of progress over the past 4 years.
.
Last year we decided to transition from figure to bikini and it’s been a fun new challenge for us to tackle.
.
Bodybuilding is often so misunderstood from the outside looking in, and one thing I love about Timea is how artistic and intentional she is with this discipline. She’s never moving weight from point A to point B mindlessly, she’s always thinking about how X exercise is building Y muscle and how that’s shaping her physique like a true sculpture! 👩‍🎨🎨🖌️

It’s been a terrific year on the judging panel at INBF\WNBF Pro and Mr. America stages. And it’s been a terrific year guiding competitors on their all-natural bodybuilding journey and testament to their unyielding pursuit of excellence. 

Congrats to our 2023 Mr. America, OCB, INBF, and NPC Champions — and Congrats to all the WNBF Pro Champions on their way to WNBF World’s in Seattle tomorrow and Sunday!

Natural bodybuilding competitions are distinguished by the rigorous drug testing protocols that ensure a level playing field. These events celebrate not only the physical achievements but also the integrity of natural athletes.

Competing at this level is not just about physique; it’s about presenting the culmination of one’s journey and the embodiment of discipline and dedication. The rewards are not just the incentives and aesthetics but the values of hard work, longevity and vitality. 

Whether you’re someone striving for personal growth or stepping on stage, the story of a natty bodybuilder serves as a reminder that great achievements are within reach. Let’s keep pushing the limits of what we can achieve naturally y’all xx

Break both legs 🤜🏼🤛🏼 Shan
