I would like to give a HUGGEEEEEE shout out to my online client NAUREEN.
She did an amazing job in her contest prep and last week successfully competed in her FIRST ALL-NATURAL BIKINI COMPETITION! Go, girl! Total rockstar.
She started around: 125 pounds, with 26 inch waist.
In only 12 weeks, she went down to: 112.8 pounds, with 23.5 inch waist.
She followed an IIFYM ...

Ah yiiiisssss.
On Saturday I hit a PR of 250 and that was AWESOME.
But TODAY (Monday) I decided I need to do it AGAIN…at least!
My split will be weird this week due to schedule, so today would be the best day to hit bench, even though it’s only been 48 hours.
PLUS I am starting a new diet today, so I might get weaker with a calorie deficit. In other words, it is NOW OR NEVER!
And i wanted to catch a vid ...

Continue Reading →Huge shout out to my awesome client Krista, who did a hybrid of in-person training and online training. When we first met, she could do one pull up. She had the goal of doing five pull ups in a row. I created a program for her to help her achieve that goal, working on back/lats, core, and grip strength. Fast forward only about three months– she EXCEEDED that goal and is now hitting SEVEN pull ups in a row, with ...

Here are some highlights to recap:
I’ll keep this brief…
The journey to NPC Nationals was extremelyyyyyyy difficult! It took every ounce of me, mentally and physically! Every ounce. Everything.
The road was rocky…So many times I was uncertain I could pull it off. I was a nutcase, straight up. Mindfuckery. I trained hard tho, and I gave it my all…and….it ended up working out!
NPC Nationals took place Nov 21 + 22, 2014 in Miami, Florida. Every physique competitor looked AMAZING! These girls were JACKED!!!! It was also ...

It was a well-run show, and I prepared a lot differently for this show than the last show. Nutrition was very different and peak week was totally different, but I felt it worked much better for me! I am still experimenting and learning, but definitely I liked how I looked and felt 😉 Here I was in the morning in my hotel, before pre-judging:
Oh my GOODNESS
I am TERRIBLE for being SUCH a delinquent blog-writer…I had a HUGE victory…and here it is…3 weeks later! (sawwy!)
My first ever PHYSIQUE competition was on August 23rd, 2014. The NPC Tahoe Show, in South Lake Tahoe. A national qualifier.
ANNNNDDDDD….I WON!!!!!
It was AWESOME.
I mean, don’t get me wrong…The prep was grueling (because I had JUST finished my powerlifting competition and decided to jump into this physique competition with only a 10 week prep- eeks!) …sooo ...
