For those who do not know me (which is hard to fathom, I’ve whore-posted HARD on my personal handle since I’ve been here) for the last 10yrs, around being a husband, father, homeowner, business owner, and student, I have dedicated my spare time to bodybuilding. The last two years, it became a primary focus and a serious goal.
I’ve experimented with dozens of training programs, several dieting philosophies, and just about every bit of AAS under the sun at some point.
You will not find any ISSA certifications or a bachelors in exercise and nutrition because I’m an engineer by trade. You will find what 10yrs of progression has taught me to get from ~110lbs as a track and soccer athlete at 18 to a peak of 220 at 5’6” just some months ago at 28 chasing an IFBB pro card. I’ve been round in the offseason and down to 3-4% bodyfat for shows. Ive spent every waking hour dedicated to this at some points and managed to maintain or make slow progress even when that wasn’t possible.

In between helping family and friends, I’ve taken one female to her pro-card in the WBFF on her first try; my one and only foray into show prep.

My approach, as you’ve seen in my thread if you’ve visited, is always based on minimum effective dose and doing this thing without sacrificing your health.
My training philosophy is somewhere between strict progressive overload and high volume. My diet and supplementation concept is based on balanced macro and micro consumption while finding foods that agree with you. My drug protocols are mild to moderate and always based on a marathon approach for the goal at hand.
I don’t believe that any of this stuff is black and white, and I’m here to find any shade of grey necessary to keep you progressing toward whatever goal you’ve got in mind.
