Build Competition-Ready Physiques with Science-Backed Protocols
From first-time competitors to IFBB Pros—we optimize every phase of your bodybuilding journey
Are You Struggling With:
Poor muscle growth despite training hard
Getting too fluffy in the off-season
Losing muscle during contest prep
Recovery issues and overtraining symptoms
Not knowing when to push vs. pull back
Hormones tanking during prep
The Difference Between Good and Great
Most coaches focus on macros and training splits. We focus on the hormonal and metabolic environment that allows muscle growth and fat loss to occur simultaneously. Thyroid optimization, gut health for nutrient absorption, cortisol management for recovery, and strategic refeed protocols.
"Your physique is the external output of internal optimization. Fix the inside, dominate the outside."
We've coached athletes to 29 IFBB Pro Cards and countless national wins. The difference? We don't just get you lean—we get you lean while preserving muscle, maintaining hormones, and setting you up for a sustainable reverse diet and improvement season.
Our Competition Prep Approach
Off-Season Optimization
Strategic muscle building phase with controlled surplus, optimal hormone environment, and regular body composition monitoring. We maximize muscle growth while minimizing fat gain.
Prep Phase Design
16-24 week contest prep with gradual caloric reduction, strategic refeeds, and deload weeks. We preserve muscle while stripping fat, monitoring hormones weekly to avoid metabolic damage.
Peak Week Strategy
Evidence-based peak week protocol for optimal stage presentation. Water manipulation, carb loading, and sodium management based on your individual response patterns.
Post-Show Recovery
Strategic reverse diet to restore metabolic function and hormones. Most competitors gain it all back—we prevent that with smart post-show protocols.
Improvement Season
Structured off-season with specific muscle-building targets for lagging body parts. We build champions over multiple seasons, not just one show.
Competition Prep Timeline
Off-Season (6-12 months)
Structured muscle building with controlled surplus. Regular body composition assessments and hormone monitoring. Goal: add quality muscle tissue while staying relatively lean.
Prep Phase (16-24 weeks)
Gradual fat loss while preserving muscle. Weekly check-ins, biweekly photos, monthly hormone panels. Expect to maintain 90-95% of muscle mass while getting stage-lean.
Peak Week + Recovery (2-8 weeks)
Final week of prep for optimal stage presentation, followed by strategic reverse diet to restore hormones and metabolism without excessive rebound.
Hear From A Pro Card Winner
“When I first started with David we instantly clicked and David just believed in me so much our fist target show was the Arnold Amateur and he was like we are going to win overall... David never forced me to do a show but his 1000% belief in me and support in me helped me get there"

Common Questions
How long should my first prep be?
20-24 weeks minimum for first-time competitors. Longer preps allow for slower fat loss rates, better muscle preservation, and less metabolic stress. We don't recommend crash preps—they destroy your physique and hormones.
Will I lose my period during prep?
Not if we do it right. We monitor hormones throughout prep and adjust macros/training if we see warning signs. Some menstrual changes are normal, but complete amenorrhea indicates we've pushed too hard.
Do you work with natural competitors?
Yes, most of our clients are natural. The principles of hormone optimization, gut health, and metabolic function are even MORE important for natural athletes who can't rely on exogenous hormones.
