Five Year Flashback to a very memorable moment in my competitive bodybuilding journey - winning the Best Poser award at a local NPC show Tim Gardner Productions Hurricane Bay - with this same show taking place this weekend, it’s nice to reminisce a bit
Just a few weeks before this, I made my season debut after 4 years away from stage, and although I won my class, I lost the overall and was disappointed w my posing (not the objective positioning of my shots, but my composure, endurance, and poise on stage).
I committed to nailing my posing next go round and was surprised and honored to earn this additional award this day.
It was extra special because Bev Francis Powerhouse Gym was the head judge at this show, and just a few weeks prior was judging at the Olympia. With my bodybuilding starting at Bev Francis Powerhouse gym as someone born & raised in Long Island it was a full-circle moment. It was exceptionally surprising as I never had competitive aspirations in the NPC / untested shows and was focused on climbing the ranks in the natural/tested space. (Years later w the NPC Natural & Ben Weider Naturals Pro/Am the entire scene is different.)
A few weeks after this, I’d finally earn my WNBF Pro Status by winning the Monster Mash
2021 was a year filled with challenges and heartache. This prep saved me in many ways, but the sacrifices likely left some scars as well.
Good luck to everyone competing this weekend!

The Stage Highlights Your Flaws! Over the past 15 years in the sport, what consistently maximizes a competitors success on stage is their CONDITIONING & PRESENTATION!

This past weekend my client and friend of the past 4 years, tlisfit earned the Miss Bikini America 🇺🇸 title Mr America™️ in Atlantic City.

She made massive progress over the years, but even a large stride in the last 5 weeks from her season opener (more on that in another post). I couldn’t be more happy & proud of her 🙌❤️‍🔥

Watching the competition & who earned top honors reinforces two things 🥇

1️⃣ CONDITIONING 🔪🔥

You can have incredible muscularity, symmetry, and shape, but if you don’t bring the level of conditioning necessary for your division, you’re leaving the door wide open for other competitors.

Conditioning is often what separates the good physiques from the GREAT ones on stage.

2️⃣ POSING & PRESENTATION

You can have the most impressive physique in your lineup, but if you don’t know how to properly DISPLAY it, the judges won’t have a reason to reward it.

And presentation goes beyond technical posing. Your confidence, composure, and the energy you bring to the stage all matter.

Your posing can either showcase your conditioning or conceal it.

This is why I encourage my athletes to practice posing for 10–15 minutes after every training session during prep.

I’d genuinely rather see you sacrifice a few working sets to practice posing than squeeze in additional training volume at the expense of your stage presentation.

Remember, the judges don’t know or care about how much you lift, what exercises you’re doing, or your body weight.

They’re judging what you actually DISPLAY in that moment.
I’ve personally “beat” other athletes who have a more aesthetic physique & better muscularity / proportions … but my conditioning as well as my presentation created the gap on stage necessary for me to be rewarded.
Huge shoutout to Timea’s posing coach Gabriela Castillo IFBB BIKINI PRO for having her presentation on point 🎯🤌

Happy 10 year anniversary to Gaze Hot Yoga , the owner Wesley Bozeman Wes & the wonderful teachers & community involved. I believe my first time walking into the studio was in early 2017 and I’m grateful to have this studio as a place to train & connect with my mind, body, and spirit.
Yoga has been a tool in my toolbox since 2004 👀, and although I never identified with the label of being a “yogi” the practice has served me so well in so many ways. One of the reasons why I think yoga has been such a valuable practice for me is because of the fact it’s never become a part of my identity. …
This has allowed me to approach the discipline with “no strings attached”. I don’t try to compete with myself and “beat” what I previously have done in class. It allows me to accept how my body changes day to day, week to week, and season to season in my life. Whether I’m at my physically most “fit” or recovering from an injury/incident. Whether I’m contest lean at 160lbs or in an offseason at 180lbs … your body feels way different - but this practice allows me to gain awareness of those differences, how it feels, and simply accept where I’m at.
I believe yoga can serve everyone positively, somehow, someway … the same way I think everyone and anybody can benefit from “bodybuilding” practices and resistance training, regardless of goals.
I highly encourage bodybuilders give various yoga practices a shot if they haven’t already, and consider how this tool can make you a better competitive athlete.
How it can improve your mobility, flexibility & strength. How it can highlight your weak points and shine light on imbalances throughout your kinetic chain. ⛓️‍💥
How it can improve your posing endurance, replace your boring fasted cardio, and allow you to improve in multiple fashions, simultaneously.
I’ll talk more about that in the future.
Nonetheless, super grateful for this space, studio, & the amazing instructors I’ve had the pleasure to learn from & practice this discipline with over the years.
Congrats Wes, Maryam, Sabrina, & everyone at Gaze

Your 2026 Ms. Bikini America 🇺🇸🥇🏆
Super proud of what tlisfit accomplished today and of her continued dedication to this craft!
We’ve been working today since 2022 and her progress over the last 4 years has been incredible. At 46 years young, she inspires me in so many ways and I love her truly artistic expression through this discipline.
This prep went extremely smooth, from start to finish, and her ex*****on is always one of an elite professional - it’s who she is.
More on her prep and her transition from figure to bikini in a later post.
Congratulations Champ!!!
Masters Bikini 🥇
Pro Open Bikini 🥇
Excited to see what the future has in store! 🔥🚀🌙

Huge congrats to my man Amr Elkazafi on an excellent performance & brining massive upgrades to the stage since his last showing this past weekend WNBF UAE
🥇Novice Classic Physique
🥈Open Classic Physique (C)
🥉Open Bodybuilding (LW)
Amr came to me just 3.5 weeks out from this show, so my job was to refine the physique & make sure he’d go into the competition fresh & properly peaked 🤌🎯
I’m very happy with the progress made in a short time and what was presented.
Rather than “digging deeper”, calories were increased right off the bat on training days, and a couple of refeeds gave me enough data on how he’d likely respond to some peaking variables.
Now Amr has more self belief and see his potential like never before.
With a solid improvement season under his belt, continued refinement to the process, & commitment to the discipline, I know he can maximize his structure & aesthetics to be a very competitive pro in the future. 🔥🚀
I’m looking forward to seeing what the future has in store 💪
Elfff Mabrook Amr!!
The future looks bright!

Huge congrats to my friend and client tlisfit for taking it all today at the OCB Liberty Natural 🏆🥇
At 46 years young, she brings such an impressive physique and she’s earned every bit of progress over the past 4 years.
Last year we decided to transition from figure to bikini and it’s been a fun new challenge for us to tackle.
Bodybuilding is often so misunderstood from the outside looking in, and one thing I love about Timea is how artistic and intentional she is with this discipline. She’s never moving weight from point A to point B mindlessly, she’s always thinking about how X exercise is building Y muscle and how that’s shaping her physique like a true sculpture! 👩‍🎨🎨🖌️
Masters 35+ Bikini 🥇

Super proud of you, Timea!
See you in a few weeks in NJ for the Mr America™️ 🫡🤜🤛
More on her contest prep for another post, but she’s responded exponentially well this entire prep. (Not the norm, an exception!)

Legion is now in Walmart and now everyone can access truly grass-fed™️ whey, & Legion’s high quality sports supplements at their neighborhood store.
I’ve been with the company for over 9 years now, originally as an athlete, and currently on their scientific review board. They have been doing everything right behind the scenes from the get-go, not just from a formulation standpoint (ie full, clinically effective dosages & transparent labels) but also from a sourcing standpoint (where are the raw materials coming from & what’s the quality of the ingredients!).
Their high standards are why their products always perform so well in third-party testing & why they’re certified by Labdoor for purity & accuracy.
Right now you can get their whey isolate, creatine gummies, and their pulse preWO at Walmart.
They have an extensive product line, with comprehensive formulas & fully transparent labels, with so many delicious flavors available online - use code CB20 to save more when ordering online.
Be selective about what you put in your body (and/or your loved ones) 💪
No artificial flavoring agents, colors, and things you simply don’t need.

Is the best shape of your life ahead of you, or already in your past? (And the way you look may not correlate at all, with your overall health or being the best version of you; but it might … this is different for everyone and varies through different chapters of our life) 
Lately, I’ve been very inspired by people who are older than me (34yo) who are in phenomenal physical shape, and live a lifestyle where their health is at the forefront, but it’s also on “autopilot”. 
When I see this pic from Oct of 2025, I felt like I was in the best shape of my life and was happy with the work that was put during that contest prep … but then I question wether I actually “was” healthy, or just “looked” it.  10 days after this photo my brain started to bleed and a couple days after that was in the neuroICU. So it also makes me ask myself … what stressors could’ve/should’ve been eliminated
This forces me to take a more holistic perspective at how I define health, what I value, and what I want to prioritize. 
After being unable to exercise for 3 months, being detrained, and seeing my body “decomp” … it’s been psychologically difficult to get excited about “making progress” again, as “starting over” can sometimes feel exhausting. 
Although I’ve been exercising 3+x/wk most weeks, it’s often felt like “going through the motions”. 
Recently, I’ve been inspired by those who are older than me, who are in better shape now in their late 40s and early 50s, than they were in their 30s.
One aspect of natural bodybuilding that I found spectacular when I was first introduced to this sport at 18 - is that’s that many of the BEST athletes in this sport are in their 40s … not their 20s … and those that live the lifestyle for life - age like a fine w**e 🍷
Anyway, I’m rambling and thought dumbing here, but I want to shout out all the people who prioritize their health (however they define that/what aspects they prioritize), and continuously work on self-development and are learning, growing, and improving in some area of their life. 
If you have a comeback story you can share, I’d love to hear it 🙏
Have a wonderful weekend beautiful people

Improve what you’re currently doing, before just doing “more”!
How can you get the MOST out of each rep… each set… each session?
Start there!
It might look like improving your set-up/ex*****on (this way you can maximize the tension where you want it!)
It may be improving your ability to “TRAIN HARD”. Controlling the load, staying poised when the set gets harder and harder, and pushing yourself to/clos(er) to concentric failure.
It may involve swapping out an exercise for something that’s a “better fit” - BUT, most people should spend more time learning how to get the most of out X exercise and progressing w it, before searching for the next shiny object (Y exercise swap)
For those focused on maximizing muscle growth, aimlessly moving weight from point A to point B isn’t going to be “good enough” after a certain point.
Skill, mind-muscle connection, intent/control need to improve over time.
Before doing MORE working sets for a particular exercise, or a particular session, you need to evaluate how your distributing your total volume across the entire week/microcycle.
You can also consider how you’re organizing this current training block, and your next one …
If you want to bring up a “weak point”, and all the former considerations are in a good spot, you can absolutely implement a specialization phase, where you DO, DO MORE total work across the week/ training cycle for that muscle … but, you likely bring DOWN volume/total work on a different muscle group (eg strong points).
When looking at the literature, it’s pretty clear that you CANT talk about volume, without considering:
Exercise selection / variation
Intensity of effort / prox to failure
Training density
Intra session frequency & weekly distribution of volume

I’ve had the pleasure of being a part of Legion since May of 2017, originally as an athlete, and later as part of their Scientific Review Board.

This company is doing everything right behind the scenes and in the spotlight, in an industry where this is far from the norm, they’re the exception who raises the standards. From sourcing the highest quality ingredients, always using full-clinical effective dosing & transparent labels, good manufacturing procedures, and so much more, they are also honest with their customers, stating “you do NOT NEED supplements, but the right ones can help.” For those reasons, and many others, I’ve been proud to represent & be a part of this brand for the past 9 years.

If you haven’t tried Legion yet, or are part of the legion fam, now is a great time to check them out, take advantage of their MDW sale (up to BOGO 75% off), & ask any questions below.
(You can always use code CB20 for additional savings 💪)

It’s been amazing to see this brand grow over the years. What started off as primarily performance/ body composition focused supplements, has evolved to a more comprehensive and holistic line that I absolutely love.
