Lia Taylor, VT State Figure Champion

 by on June 26, 2019

This month I am happy to feature another high performing lady, Lia Taylor. Lia got in touch with me in October of 2018 with the simple goal of winning her class at the NPC Vermont. She had plenty of experience doing this show as well as national ones and while I could see the shape was always there, conditioning was what was lacking. So, my goal was to make sure she reached a new level of conditioning that she had never seen on herself before. We got started a little earlier than normal because Lia had a vacation planned somewhere in the 17 weeks out or so realm. I wanted to get a chance to learn her body and get her calories up appropriately before we started her diet phase.

In the Trenches with Jim Sullivan

 by on March 28, 2019

This month we have a feature on a client of mine named Jim Sullivan, out of the New Jersey area. Jim and I have worked together for a little over two years now. He had just finished his prep for the 2016 fall season and we jumped right into a post-show health phase and then an extended offseason with the idea of not competing again until he moved up to the next weight class.

In the Trenches with Ryan Sullivan

This month we are featuring a client that I have been working with since September of 2017, Ryan Sullivan. Ryan came to me with the very sound idea on working on a lean gains offseason program before entering into his first contest prep in late 2018.

In the Trenches with Tom Dupont, Light Heavyweight Champ

 by on May 28, 2018

This month we have a piece on a 35 year old father of two that decided to commit to fitness and get the most out of himself. Looking up to bodybuilders from a young age, Tom had always been into weight training but never took the steps to compete. He knew he wanted to take a stab at it someday and now that his career and family were squared away, this was his time.

Josh Wade during his 2017 Competitive Season- Part 2

 by on February 5, 2018

Ok, so were back with our second part of Josh Wade’s season. As you recall, Josh did four shows in the spring/summer this year, took a little “break,” and then got right back into it for one more show at the end of 2017, the Ferrigno Classic.

Super Heavyweight Bodybuilder, Kadu Fernandes

 by on November 24, 2017

What’s up everybody. We’re back with a feature on a fellow Super Heavyweight bodybuilder Kadu Fernandes. Obviously from the size he’s carrying, you can see that he’s been training for a long time but has only been competing for a short while.

In the Trenches with NPC Classic Physique Athlete, Derek Pranke

 by on October 6, 2017

This month’s feature is on a young, 20 year old Milwaukee bodybuilder named Derek Pranke. I met Derek a year ago when I was in South Carolina for Junior USA’s. We got to talking about doing the same show a year later. He had already had previously competed nationally at the Teen, Collegiate and Master’s Nationals as a Teen Light Heavyweight placing 4th in 2015. It was time to see what improvements he had made in the last two years by doing a qualifier and then jumping onto the big stage in South Carolina. Here’s what we did.
