Tori Batcheller, NPC Bikini Competitor

by Andrew Berry on November 15, 2020

So, it’s not every day that a competitor wants to cut their prep time in half. Tori competed in 5 shows last year going from placing outside of the top 5 to working her way up to winning classes at more competitive shows throughout 2019.

In the Trenches with Kayla Wobshall

by Andrew Berry on August 25, 2020

Like a lot of athletes this year, Kayla’s plans were changed due to the COVID mess. She was originally planning on doing the NPC JR. USA’s as her first national level show.

Digestion Series: SIBO/SIFO

by Andrew Berry on August 15, 2020

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) or small intestinal fungal overgrowth (SIFO) occurs when bacteria/fungi that normally live in the large intestine end up living in the small intestine.

In the Trenches with Andres Montoya

by Andrew Berry on February 11, 2020

This month I’m featuring a remarkable transformation. Andres dropped 95 pounds in 5 months to get into shape for one of the most competitive shows on the East Coast while having a new-born baby at home.

In the Trenches with Corey Smialek

by Andrew Berry on February 4, 2020

This month I have a piece on a new bodybuilder that nailed his first prep. Corey had been training in the gym for a few years and the other guys always told him he had great shape and should think about doing a bb show.

Alright, you guys have been asking for it, so we’re going to give it to you. John has been getting tons of messages about what he’s been doing with IFBB Classic Physique Pro Terrence Ruffin.

In the Trenches with Nate Spear

by Andrew Berry on October 15, 2019

So, this is the third time we have featured Nate Spear, a client and best friend of mine for the last 4 years. You may recall him hitting the scene in 2016, winning 3 straight overall titles, leading to a heavyweight class win at the Jr USA.

Lia Taylor, VT State Figure Champion

by Andrew Berry 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 Andrew Berry 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

by Andrew Berry on January 20, 2019

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.
