Another year, another Halloween, and another memory I’m grateful we got to make together. I don’t get to spend as much time with my family as I’d like. I miss soccer games, karate practices, family get togethers, and barbecues because I’m always working. Even when I make the big occasions, I’m sometimes running late from work. My family always gives me grace, and I hope they know how much that means to me. I wish I could be there more.

Tonight, I got to enjoy trunk-or-treat at church with them. Seeing Saniyha another year older, dressed as a police officer, reminded me how quickly time passes. Who knows?! Maybe that’s in her future? For now, I’m just grateful I got to be part of her Halloween.

I love you, Saniyha, Angel, Carlos, and Mom. My favorite holiday with my favorite people. These are the moments I wish I could slow down. 🎃🖤

From sunrise to sunset, I’ve been giving this my all. 6 weeks out, busting my ass every day to bring my best package to the stage. Coach Christopher Tuttle is leading the way, I’m just trusting….listening, and doing the work.

Quarter turns & mandatory poses will ALWAYS be the foundation of competitive bodybuilding posing. After 17 years as a posing coach, that’s the FIRST thing I emphasize to every athlete. I love the artistry and flow of posing routines, but mastering what matters during judging always comes first. A routine should be developed together after understanding your physique, strengths, weaknesses, and presentation, not simply choreographed without knowing the athlete.

Here are a few shots of me going through my quarter turns & mandatory poses in Open Bodybuilding. As a lightweight standing alongside bigger welterweights, I was the smallest guy up there, but I knew how to maximize my strengths, minimize my weaknesses, and pose in a way that allowed me to remain competitive.

If you’re ready to take your posing to the next level and learn how to present your physique like a pro, DM me for personalized, one on one posing coaching.

And just like that, months of hard work came together onstage. Yesterday, my Shadow One mentoring prep and posing athletes, Joshua Stewart and Mario A. Cristales competed at MUSCLECONTEST West Coast Naturals & Border States. Congratulations to both of my boys for giving it their all and bringing amazing physiques, presentation, and performances. It’s moments like these that remind me how much I love my job and how blessed I am to do what I do. Proud of you both!

Posing with the boys! You already know Coach had to get in on it

First up, natural Shadow One mentoring men’s physique prep athletes Joshua Stewart making his NPC debut! Josh & I originally worked together on his posing for his first competition on the OCB. He and his previous coach killed that debut, and afterward, he asked me whether I thought he could compete and do well in the NPC. I told him Absolutely! Not just because of his physique and genetics, but because I’d already seen his work ethic firsthand during our posing sessions.

We started working together in March, spending 3 months slowly building and learning his body before beginning a 20-week prep in June. I told him from the start that we were taking our time. With him being a natural athlete, I wanted us to be strategic with our adjustments and give him the time he needed to bring his best. Yesterday, that work paid off with two first places and a second place!

We entered both West Coast Naturals, the tested show, and Border States, the non-tested show. We wanted to challenge him, and I knew he could hold his own with the big boys. You trusted me and put in the work, brother. Proud of you and everything we accomplished together. What a way to make your NPC debut!

Getting Joshua Stewart pumped up and going over those final posing details before hitting the stage.
