Clay Watkins

With my good friend who I’ve been coaching the last 6 months. Funny I met Eddie the same day as my gf ( And what was a great Arnold weekend).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Eddie has awesome shape and some real classic potential.
He’s tightened up about 10lbs so far.. currently we are cutting to see what kind of development he has. The plan is to finish this cut then go through a lean build grow season as we fuel up and put on some tissue.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Eddie gets up at 4am and works construction all day then heads to personal train at night. For all you who have excuses and whine let it b a lesson. There are always those working hard and they will reap the real rewards. Proud of u bro.

This is about 10lbs down in 8 weeks.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I fed Ashley for a couple months before we started prep. Total of 15 lost thus far.

Huge thank you to my Posing Coach for cleaning up the mandatories👏🏻 She’s detailed and has a trained eye.

40% of your show day package is posing.. yes 40 and maybe more.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do u know how many shows I’ve been to? Between coaching, working ( ), competing and spectating? ..hundres. Maybe over a thousand and in the npc there’s probably 2 people a show that can actually pose. It’s a headache to watch the rest.. and a large majority of pros are the same.. so when someone takes the time to actually come polished, it’s eye catching for the judges.
Now I’m not saying neglect your diet and cardio but.. to complete the circle get a good posing coach🤟🏼 thanks

Huge congrats to my dude who absolutely dominated the whole classic show.. this dudes third show ever and just took the overall.. sky high potential and to top it off a genuine down to earth dude.
I couldn’t believe how complete and poised he was on stage. My girlfriend and I had been talking about him between pre and finals and when I saw him in line at finals I was like mann you got the goods this is your show!! So of course he went to take the overall and I was so happy for him it felt like I won up there. Enjoy your time in the light bro cuz it’s not over✌🏻

And then today I get to meet the Queen of the figure division who is such an inspirational leader and light! A representation of grace and selflessness. Great to see u🖤💪🏻

The best competition tanning crew in the country💛💛 Nothing compares to that Golden and the

Grateful to travel with this squad.. new adventures and athletes each time but always the best vibes around other bodybuilders and fitness obsessors lol can’t beat it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some of the states I’ve traveled with the team:
Texas
Florida
South Carolina
Tennessee
Wisconsin
Indiana
Missouri
Georgia
Virginia
And a few I’m prob missing.
Add that to my personal travel and I’m out of town in about 2 diff states per month💯 what’s next in 2022!?

Getting ready for our men’s physique debut in Texas! These are at 3 and 4 weeks out. Working on the finishing touches before filling out💯
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nicko is a hard worker and sticks to the plan. There is a lot to learn in your first competition prep and he’s very receptive because he wants to be the best he can. These are the ideal athletes we hope for as a coach. Blessed and thankful I am able to guide others in this exciting journey🙏🏼

This was a fun shoot 💪🏻🤍 and thanks to Ashley for setting it up
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Was able to help Grant make top 5 at his Men’s Physique debut! Super geeked about our final package.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If we had done a second show I would have pulled back about 20% on the carb up Thurs/Friday to keep his front harder. From the back he’s got some good development already and was filled out on point. But he really wanted to focus on taking time to improve for next year. And I was all for it!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He has the shape and a tiny waist.. Great potential in this division. Once he gains some muscle maturity he will be a top contender. Being that he was probably the youngest on stage at 19 he definitely held his own. Should be awesome improvements by next year after taking time to build. Congrats homie💪🏻💪🏻

Alexis came to me at 10 days out and needed help peaking. She had just done a show and was not happy with the result.
In that short time we were able to bring a tighter look and improve some posing moving from out of top 5 in her first show to a solid 5th place finish this past weekend🏆 attaining our goal of top 5 for her second show ever.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We got judges feedback from a judge that was at both shows.. and confirmed that she did improve from first to second show(knew that). And that we need some more tissue in the glutes and hams department.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are now starting our reverse and plan on competing in the spring with a more complete, conditioned package to land a 🥇place finish.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Alexis has great structure for this division. And with this grow season in place we are about to make some waves next year💯

This was a fun one to work for and Bri ended up 4th! Crazy in a stacked 212 class and for his pro debut so proud of him.

Simon is one of my lifestyle clients. And man this dude isn’t afraid to work💪🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Hes a very active guy and does a lot of hiking with his wife. We use a macro approach to dieting.. and he always hammers away at the workouts I give him. Nothing better than a dedicated client wanting to get in the best shape of their life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are at a bit of a snag with a low back injury.. but I have no doubt Simon will be back to training hard and better than ever in the near future. Proud of u bro!

My man Grant coming in hot for the NPC Natural Northern next Saturday in Cleveland!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are in our depletion phase so this is the flattest he will be. Starting next Monday we will be reversing the entire week- carbing up as much as we need to fill out properly. I will keep an eye on him every day so we can nail this peak..no cookie cutter protocols💯
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The work has been done. Time to showcase his efforts on stage🏆
