So, this is unbelievable even to me, but legit . Gorilla and Monkey are pretty much killing it at the gym today. Best I ever looked and I’m pretty confident about my show in Oct. 🦍🐒💪🏼

6 weeks from today I hit the stage. Gotta pose pose pose to make sure I put on a decent show for y’all.

I haven’t posted very much in a while. This contest prep is driving me crazy in a way I haven’t felt in a long time. Been crazy-dysmorphic about how I look, had many setbacks, and just generally it has taken forever to right this ship. But I refuse to give up: this is happening, hell or high water. It’s just that the stress of life in general has had me in such a negative head space that I haven’t enjoyed it.

But I think I’m coming out of that. Maybe I was doing fine all along, or maybe I just now started pulling my s**t together, but whatever the case I’m starting to feel like I might be proud of my work when day of the show(s) arrive in September.

So here I am, 240 and 7 weeks away from the first show. I could be doing better, but I’m not mad at it. Looking forward to the dramatic changes of the next few weeks 🦍💪🏼🦍

When I cut my own hair it makes my traps bigger. It’s Science.

Current condition: about half way point I’d say between the top of the bulk and the stage. Began close to 290, and I want to hold in this area to recomp a bit. 7 hours of dancing at these music festivals is really bringing the cut! Go team cardio 💪🏼🦍🎶

Now is the point where real edits to the diet and expansions of planned cardio start happening. We chopped the big blocks off of that giant marble slab, and now we grab the chisels and files to carve out this statue.

Looking back at myself in my 20s, you could not of convinced me I would become what I am now. The road looks too long, and there’s no way to see the path from the beginning to here. For a decade or more, that made it difficult to even get started. How do I even know what to want? What see a realistic?

But that’s one of the first things I try to push through with every person who works with me… If you are just beginning, you probably have no idea what is realistic and he will sell yourself short, or be too discouraged to even begin. That’s what I love so much about training newbies: getting them to dream bigger 💪🏼😁❤️.

I’m halfway to the goal so I’ll give a sneak peek. I’m feeling the silver gorilla biker look 🦍💪🏼.

I’ve been in a depressive slump for a couple weeks and it has been VERY difficult to pull out of. Even suffered a rare panic attack. Consequently my progress stalled - gained some weight back and wasn’t in the gym. And my work stalled - I haven’t been as faithful to my clients as I want to be, and I’ve had to apologize for my distraction.

But I’m only human and this has to be baked into the cake if I want a realistic view of who I am and what I can do. I am and will continue to be a talented, successful trainer. I am and will continue to be an impressive bodybuilder. My timeline will not be the same as someone else’s, but that’s part of being me. I’ll get where I’m going faster if I can have Grace for myself about my human failings. ❤️

Good luck out there, fellow humans. Be gentle with yourselves.

Walking through some of my favorite accomplishments from last year. It really pays to stop for a while and take stock of where you’ve been and what you’ve been able to accomplish. Life has been, understandably, very limited for most of us for the last couple years. 2020 was especially difficult as I lost my bearings physically and professionally. 2022 is already dramatically better, and as I look back on what I was able to do despite the world going crazy I’m pretty proud of myself and it motivates me to push harder.

What were you able to accomplish during the pandemic? Is it different than what you wanted? Did you surprise yourself?

Throwback Thursday to me last photoshoot prep… I was shredded AF for New Years in 2020 😍💪🏼. Can’t wait to see this condition and better in a few months.
