I am sharing yesterday's lab results not out of vanity, but as diagnostic proof of what resistance training, proper nutrition, and habit ex*****on can achieve.

My point of this post is YOU DO NOT NEED a bodybuilding stage to care about internal health. Shifting away from ultra-processed foods and sedentary habits directly transforms physiological markers from pathological to optimal.

So here we go-As some of you may know, back in 2023 at 53, I decided to make a total change when that diagnosis came. I was clinically obese, suffering from hypothyroidism, stage-1 hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol). When thyroid output drops, hepatic clearance of circulating lipids slows, causing cholesterol to spiral alongside blood pressure and body fat.

Instead of accepting systemic dysfunction, I focused on weight training, clean nutrition, and consistent ex*****on. I also decided to step back on stage in a drug- and diuretic-free natural bodybuilding organization for the first time in over 30 years.

This past April 25th at 54, I did my inaugural competition. Now at 55, I am focusing on November 7th in a much more difficult category, with a coach guiding me as I guide my own clients.

Yesterday's blood draw showed a blood pressure of 121/65 mmHg and confirmed where my internal baseline sits today, completely naturally:

THIS ONE BLOWS ME AWAY-Total Serum Testosterone: 823 ng/dL. Which puts my endocrine production sitting in the upper quartile of a healthy 20-to-25-year-old male reference interval, maintaining HPG-axis integrity in a contest prep deficit.

Lipid Profile: Total Cholesterol 154 mg/dL, Triglycerides 75 mg/dL, HDL 56 mg/dL (Total/HDL ratio 2.. Optimal cardiovascular profiles and full reversal of hyperlipidemia.

Renal Function: Creatinine 1.02 mg/dL, eGFR 87 mL/min. Clean glomerular filtration efficiency.
Hepatic Function: AST 35 IU/L, ALT 41 IU/L. Healthy liver transaminase levels despite heavy strength training.

This is not just about me, YOU CAN DO IT TOO! If you need our help, feel free to reach out! 💪🏽😊🤘🏽

🏆 CHAMPIONS ARE MADE HERE AT HUBBMUSCLE GYM!

Huge congratulations to my long-time personal training client, friend, and "brother in arms" Larry Parsons for an exemplary performance at the OCB Colonial Open in Williamsburg!

The left photograph captures Larry securing his 1st Place victory in the Over 50 division, while the right photograph displays his 2nd Place finish in the Over 40 category—an astonishing feat, considering he placed runner-up to a competitor nearly 30 years his junior!

Larry brought unparalleled conditioning to the stage and claimed some exceptional hardware:
🥇 1st Place – Over 50 Category
🥈 2nd Place – Over 40 Category

To put this in perspective, for a 70-year-old individual to ascend a competitive physique stage is a definitive statistical anomaly—LITERALLY ONE IN A HALF MILLION! That’s right, out of 500,000 peers, only a single individual achieves this milestone. Furthermore, an even smaller fraction can execute this within a strictly drug-free, diuretic-free natural bodybuilding organization, an endeavor that demands extraordinary physiological discipline.

Larry isn't merely participating; he is sustaining a rigorous competitive lifecycle, managing multiple grueling exhibitions within a single calendar year.

Months of high-intensity training right here on our gym floor, synthesized with a precise titration of his nutritional metrics, culminated in this phenomenal showing. It is a true honor to be the technician guiding his athletic progression.

We are officially 11 weeks out from his next major competition on September 12th. We are already back to auditing the data to further elevate his conditioning.

Let’s celebrate Larry’s stellar achievement and maintain this elite momentum! 💪✈️

🌟 Thank You, Dalton Elliot!

There is nothing more rewarding than seeing hard work and dedication unfold right inside our walls. We want to send a huge thank you to competitive bodybuilder Dalton Elliot, who chose to train with us last week while he was down here on vacation! 🏋️‍♂️✨

Dalton is now just days away from taking the stage, and when he was working out here, he told us that Hubbmuscle was the absolute best place for him to keep his focus, lock in his training, and finish his journey strong. Hearing that from an athlete who puts everything into their craft means the world to us.

We always say that HUBBMUSCLE IS BUILT FOR THE SERIOUS-FOR ANYONE WHO IS TRULY SERIOUS ABOUT THEIR FITNESS, THEIR HEALTH, AND REACHING THEIR PERSONAL GOALS, no matter what level they are starting at. Having Dalton's elite work ethic in the gym last week was a fantastic inspiration to everyone on the floor.

We are incredibly grateful he chose Hubbmuscle to be a part of his prep. Dalton, the entire Hubbmuscle family is cheering you on. Go crush it on stage, brother! 🥇💪 #🥇💪 #🥇💪🏋️‍♂️ ゚ ゚viralシfypシ゚

Look at the photo on the left. November 2023 at the La Brea Tar Pits. Bloated, miserable, 235 pounds/5’4” tall at 28% body fat. Despite decades in fitness, my physique threw its hands up and said, "I am done." Everything collapsed simultaneously.

I was slammed with fresh hypothyroidism, skyrocketing LDL cholesterol, acute prostate complications, and a completely false medical diagnosis of interstitial lung disease. That false ILD diagnosis was a massive psychological hit, considering my father had just passed away from that exact same disease only a few months prior. I was physically and psychologically redlining.

I navigated a gauntlet of doctors to get my internal physiology medically back online. Once I avoided the doom and got the clinical green lights, the excuses stopped. I tapped directly into 37 years of iron discipline to claw back the elite condition I possessed prior to the systemic collapse.

Now look at the right. Last week, stepping on stage at the OCB Richmond Supershow. I weighed in at 159 pounds and 5.22% fat. My lipid panel is completely normalized, prostate clear, and my metabolic engine is running like a furnace. I systematically reversed the biological decay.

I walked away receiving hardware in every single category I entered, totaling 5 pieces: 1st place in the 50+, 3rd place in Over 40, 4th place in Open, and 5th place in both Debut and Novice.

The absolute truth: Most people walk around accepting physical mediocrity and metabolic dysfunction as a normal part of aging. It is complete nonsense.

At Hubbmuscle Gym 4028 Main Street (The Old Firehouse) here on Chincoteague Island, we do not coddle excuses or sugar-coat your daily choices. As a Master Personal Trainer and Sports Nutritionist, Melissa and I operate a spotless, elite facility designed to force actual physiological change.

If your biological machine is failing, get cleared by a physician, and then get yourself through our doors. Stop accepting the decay. It is time to get to work. Link in bio for training and membership rates. Hubbmusclegym.com

We at Hubbmuscle Gym want to extend a massive congratulations to Larry Parsons for his inspiring performance at the OCB Richmond Supershow!

Larry demonstrated incredible tenacity throughout this process. Out of the five individuals who initially embarked on this rigorous competition training regimen with me, Larry was the sole athlete to display the resilience and discipline required to see it through to the stage. At 69 years of age, Larry was a standout—in fact, he and I shared the distinction of being the oldest competitors in the entire event!

Proving that age is merely a number when fueled by a clear objective, Larry didn't just participate; he placed 4th in a highly competitive Men’s Classic Physique Over 40 Pro-Qualifying category.

Enduring a 23-week contest prep is a grueling endeavor and seeing Larry under those lights was a testament to his unwavering dedication. Between his infectious personality and his status as a commanding athlete among a field of competitors in their 20s and 30s, he quickly became a crowd favorite. I was honored to be cheering him on from behind the curtain, and it was clear the entire venue felt his energy!

We are beyond proud of his commitment and this stellar debut performance. Please join us in celebrating Larry’s remarkable achievement!
