Who said traveling for work had to be boring. Got to hike the Horsetooth trail after my last day of work in Colorado. Would recommend this trail if in the area 10/10

Started Squatober off the right way this year.

Goals now it to prioritize training without knee wraps. Last year after buying my first pair I grew to rely on them too much especially leading into my first comp.

The set up vs the ex*****on

Join a team that pushes you to your limits! Looking forward to improving alongside these fellows 💪🏻

We did the damn thing! Prep wouldn’t have been as enjoyable if I wasn’t doing it with my best friend, my partner in crime, and my love…Good thing is all three of them for me. Her constant support and work ethic over the last couple months kept me going when things got tough. Couldn’t have seen this prep through without her being by my side. Can’t wait to see how far we both can go in this sport!

The work is done, and it’s time to reflect and improve. Didn’t come into Badger State as lean as I should’ve been, and I did everything we could this prep to be ready (3 hours of cardio😱). Problem was from where I started prep. Had over 40 lbs to lose over prep and that was just unrealistic looking back on it.

Lessons learned from this prep were that I have to treat my off-season just like prep. Gonna stay leaner this off-season and attack the next prep on better footing 💪🏻. Most importantly though is that this prep allowed me to learn that I have the ability to do whatever I set my mind to.

Lastly I have to thanks to some people for their support over this prep. you helped me out every week with bodywork and recovery this prep, I doubt I would have been able to push myself as hard without your help. Had I have to say thanks to the whole .llc family for the support that I received over this prep. for helping me with my posing, and for your guys endless words of encouragement. There are many more friends that I’d like to thank but this post is getting long winded, lol 😂.

you’ll get your own post later baby, so don’t feel left out.

Was surprised that with traveling this weekend I was able to pull 440 lbs (200 kg) for a PR of 5 reps. The faces I made captured the fight💪🏻

Officially starting prep. Got 18 weeks to turn this into a champion physique for Badger State. Currently sitting at 237.6 lbs.

Oof where did the last two years go?

Felt like comparing my favorite pose from my first show in 2020 to where I am at with prep right around the corner. Gains have been made, a lot of chicken and rice has been eaten and there’s still work to be done.

And the Lord said “ Let thy seventh day be dedicated to having a nasty shoulder pump.”

Safety bar squats are now a staple in my regimen. It’s killer leg movement without killing my knees 👍🏻

almost set off the lunk alarm 🚨😂

This past weekend got me excited for what’s ahead. Joined Team .llc for a lift and it was a great time. Felt welcomed and a part of a team for this first time since I started bodybuilding. Everyone there carried great vibes and a work hard mentality. Looking forward to working with everyone more and crushing the goals that lay ahead.
