Not exactly the checkin I prefer but you get these from a client you just roll with it. Transformation client Damarcus is down 46lbs on the scale but has obviously lost more fat than that added some serious muscle.
We were stuck for a bit but then he admitted to energy drinks and he stopped them then the scale started dropping again.
Damarcus will be stepping on stage at The Porter Classic in the Inspiration class and cannot be more excited for this!
Let's get it brother. Keep killing it!

Super proud of my online prep client, JJ Johnsrude

JJ came to Centerstage just 8 weeks out from his first competition with one goal, get absolutely shredded.

The first thing I did was actually increase his food by adding two more meals to his plan. Most people think prep always starts by cutting food, but his body responded exactly how I hoped, it took off, and he dropped 3 pounds in the first week.

From there, the goal became keeping as much food in his plan as possible while continuing to tighten him up. The result? He's gotten leaner while also adding noticeable size, especially through his lower body.

His posing has improved tremendously as well. Despite dealing with a pretty significant shoulder issue, he's worked hard every week and has adapted to some new posing styles I introduced. The progress has been incredible.

Now we head into peak week! The plan is to bring him down to the 176-pound weight class, then fill him back out and have him step on stage around 182–185 pounds looking his absolute best.

I'm excited for him to compete for the very first time next week and show everyone what we've built in just eight weeks.

JJ has been an outstanding client, he trusted the process, put in the work every single day, and never wavered. As a coach, that's all you can ask for.

In my opinion, what we've accomplished together in only 8 weeks is pretty impressive.

Great job, JJ. Thank you for trusting me with your prep. Now let's go have some fun on stage!
