Some sneak peeks of the classic physique posing curriculum I will be teaching as a class soon. If you’re a prep coach looking to add new value to your services, or a new posing coach looking to learn more, this will be the class for you. Every bit of posing knowledge I’ve accumulated over the last 14 years being a bodybuilder and the last 4 years being a posing coach, I will endeavor to share with my students. There will be a sign-up link in the near future, but keep in mind I am keeping class sizes small. 10 spots per class. Be on the lookout.

Now that we are a week into 2025, it’s time to start thinking about competitions. What better way to help jumpstart that than by dropping prices? Single Sessions have dropped from $75/half hour to $65/half hour, and will remain at that price until my schedule gets too packed. Click the link in my bio to get started!

The Side Relaxed.

Also known as simply the quarter turn. This pose is your foundation for most every side/twisting pose out there. As well, it’s the first time the judges get to see look for symmetry on both sides of your body.

Several things to make note:
Notice how the hands are on a straight line across from each other, as are the shoulders and elbows. This will do a lot for the flow/balance of this pose.
As well, notice how the head, chest, hips, knees, and ankles are all stacked up on a straight line. This is also huge for the balance of this pose. As a posing coach, these lines here are a big part of the mental image I have in my head as I pose each athlete.

Some of my most memorable W’s over the last few years.

Loving the process, and not just going through the motions. That is what gave each of these athletes what they needed to win. That and of course some lights-out prep coaches.

One last national show for this season, and then we finalize the preparation for next year. Can’t wait for what’s to come.

God reveals himself not in thunder or flames, but in a whisper.

“Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalms 46:10) is probably the hardest verse to actually practice in my day to day life.

Whether physically or mentally, I am always trying to stay active. Staying busy isn’t just to be productive—it’s to keep my thoughts from wandering into darker places. I feel like a lot of men can relate to this feeling. Unspoken anxieties, insecurities, bottled up anger or pain, all of these things start to come to the surface if the mind idles too long. AND YET, we are told to be still. How do we avoid those feelings?

You don’t. Be still. Let yourself feel and process those things. Let God help you process those things. You must face yourself to truly free yourself, and no one is truly free without the grace of God.

Be still.

(Side note: do y’all consider this to be a most muscular, or a classic pose?)

If I was my own boss, I probably would have fired myself this year.

That may sound a bit weird, as I AM my own boss. But after a thorough review of my own performance this year, I come to the unfortunate conclusion that I did not meet the standard I hold myself to.

I was burnt out at the beginning of the year, and as a result I let myself slack off from many aspects of business because I was “resting” or taking a “mental health day”.

Which turned into weeks.

Which turned into a culminated several months of slacking. I got by on the bare minimum with my business because I didn’t want to push myself.

Don’t get me wrong, I still put forth my best work with the people I worked with, but I didn’t PUSH. I didn’t market. I didn’t network like I usually do. So many things I didn’t do because I felt like something was holding me back from doing so.

The only thing holding me back was my own excuses.

Not anymore. The rest of this year will be finished out with renewed focus. Next year will begin with a fresh fire. There isn’t much point in feeling sorry for myself when I can instead strive to improve and do better.

Stay tuned for the Black Friday sale announcement. And then after that will be more big news. Be ready.
