When it comes to competing

It Can Be Hard To Know Who To Trust

Competing is a serious endeavor.

One you shouldn't take lightly.

Do it right, and you will enjoy the process, be successful on stage, and keep your health in check.

Do it wrong, and you could have some substantial problems with your health that may follow you for the rest of your life.

All of that hinges on the process you follow and who guides you.

Let's dive in to what this whole thing means...

Experience & Evidence

There is no certification or degree needed to call yourself a contest prep coach. 

That's why you see so many of them, with little to no experience. 

For a challenge as great as competing, you need expert guidance to reach your full potential, and do so without compromising your health.

Jeff has competed in over 40 competitions and coached thousands of others to their best on stage. 

Experience matters.

Created by Competitors Who Care About Competitors

We understand how how bad a contest prep experience can be if you have a coach that treats you like a number.

To have a great experience, you must have:

 Great communication with FAST response times

 KNOW the process, not trust the process

 Success on stage

 Your health in tact, long after the show is over

 A tailored plan made specifically for you

Our Process

From Start To Finish

LEARN THE LIFESTYLE

Getting on stage requires you to go to great measures to get your body ready. It's imperative to have healthy habits established and a good baseline of health and fitness before jumping in. This is a must to assure optimal recovery after the competition.

ASSURE READINESS

Veteran competitors know your body must be ready before jumping into a prep. It's no different for first timers either. Assure health is optimal and that your body composition is within striking distance of the stage. If you still have muscle to build, then now is the time, not prep.

RECOVER AND TRANSITION TO A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

This part of the process is often ignored, by both the coach and the competitor, which is incredibly dangerous. After putting yourself through a rigorous prep, you need to assure that you recover and transition to a healthy lifestyle. We provide a thorough recovery plan to assure that happens.

Importance Of Prepping Correctly
From the desk of Jeff Later, IFBB Pro
Preparing to compete in a physique competition is the pinnacle of physical development. The sport/art has grown in popularity in recent years, due to the creation of new divisions. This has brought a lot of excitement and a lot of new faces. 

Preparing for a competition, no matter the division, requires a lot of hard work and dedication. The decision to compete is a big one and many things need to be considered.

The competitive world we live in has led many people to sacrifice nearly everything in an effort to win a trophy. While this sport is demanding and requires some sacrifice in time and energy, certain things should NOT be up for debate. 

I've competed in over 40 shows and coached thousands of others to the stage. If experience has taught me anything, it's that health should never be compromised just to win a trophy.

I put an emphasis on health & education - learning about nutrition, developing good habits, and avoiding heavy restriction. 

This leads to a healthy post-show recovery and results you can keep, instead of looking good for one day. 

We are passionate about this sport and want to share that with others. We want to show everyone that you can be incredibly successful in this sport and still have a great relationship with food, keep your results, and NOT have any detrimental long-term effects.
