![]() Steve and I worked harder to get my body fat into the mid 4% range, brought my legs in more, and was able to get myself a lot tighter and dryer at this show, as we knew the competition was going to be bigger. I had entered into a 16-week prep starting at 12% body fat and ended at that show at 5.8%, taking 1st in Open Light Heavy Weight Bodybuilding, 1st and Overall in Novice Heavy Weight Bodybuilding at my very first show!? Having taken 2nd in my overall open division, I knew I wasn't done yet and could get even better and decided to continue my prep for the Kentucky Muscle in October. He had reached out to me about competing in the Kentucky Open and after a few days to think it over, I agreed. I started working with Steve back in May of 2018 after running into him at my wife's figure competition. Overall Champion and First Place Class B, Open Women’s Physique I went from feeling like a nobody to realizing I'm going to be a major contender in this sport. I'm utterly grateful to Steve and the amount of hard work he has not only put into building my body, but my mind as well. I have no idea what the future has in store for me but with how things have gone thus far I foresee a Women’s Physique Division pro card coming our way. I'm officially a champion! Steve kept his word to me and I kept my word to him… I would give him my all and he would never give up on me. 3 competitions in and 2 Overall titles and national qualifications in women's physique. Steve believed in me and my potential more than I believed in myself.įast forward two years later to 2018. I just shook my head and smiled, not believing a damn word he said. Instead, I was told with proper discipline and consistency he could and would make me into a powerhouse Women's Physique competitor. I imagined him saying I was uncoachable or too far gone. I was even more terrified for Steve to look at me for the first time. I was terrified of anyone even seeing me outside of my baggy hoodies and even bigger sweat pants. When I first met Steve I honestly didn't know if I ever wanted to compete. Thanks Steve for your patience and ensuring that I was part of the process you made this a true partnership and I will NEVER use another prep coach!!! Client for life!! I am now working with Steve (for the first time for off season prep) to put on 12 lbs. The rest is history: Not only did I win my class, I won the OVERALL and received my IFBB PRO card. We actually grew into the show my actual measurements were larger than when I started and I only did cardio for 3 weeks. In 10 weeks, we dropped down to 4.5% body fat, down from 8.6%. But I must say there is a reason they call him the mad scientist. Nor was I truly sold on Steve's methods in the beginning. I didn't realize the amount of food or water I would have intake on a daily basis (I was miserable). When I decided to do the Master's National's this year, I had very high expectations (to win my class in the 40 and 50 and over). We started talking about working together 4 years ago but I could never nail down the appropriate time. Overall Champion and Light-Heavyweight Class WinnerĢ012 NPC Kentucky Bodybuilding Championships Im excited to continue my journey with Steve as a new IFBB pro. Steve came up with a solid game plan for me and we trusted the process. What they don't realize is, it takes time to learn how somebody responds to a plan. People are so quick to switch coaches when they don't get their desired results. Five years after we started working together I became an IFBB PRO. ![]() Its been a long journey but we finally did it. I'm glad I hired a coach who cares about me and my dreams. The following year I did my first national show and I placed second in the men's middleweight class at Junior Nationals. Our first year working together he made me an overall winner in my weight class and a State champion. We actually competed against each other in 2005 at the Kentucky Muscle. I have been working with Steve since the beginning of 2012. ![]()
