2010 IFBB Pittsburgh Pro - Melody Clere Sneak Peek

So we're only three days away from the next IFBB Pro show of the year - the 2010 Pittsburgh Pro.

Today I thought I would post up a quick peek of IFBB Figure Pro Melody Clere a few days out. This has really been a great prep coming off a nice, healthy off season resulting in what is now a body that feels healthy and is responsive.

We still need a tan of course, have a couple pounds of water to get out and have to fill out the muscles a bit, but this'll give you an idea of what she's going to be presenting.

Looking back over her programs this prep phase, the most steady... read more 16 comments

LBC FIgure Competitor Testimonial

I started competing 6 years ago.  Along the way, I met and worked with several coaches that wore my body down to points that required extensive rehab.  I made it through a competition year with my own expertise to realize every great athlete needs a coach.  My search began.  I came across Erik Ledin of Lean Bodies Consulting.  As I dug further into Erik's practices and beliefs, I began to wonder why it took me 6 years to find him.  Erik truly understands the proper way to train, the optimal nutritional approach and most of all the, cardio needs.  My only question now is ... why did it take me so long... read more 0 comments

Sandi Stuart unfortunately didn't get the look that I think she should have gotten, and subsequently placed lower than hoped for or expected. I think she should have placed a handful of spots of higher. Supposedly this show is notorious for bad lighting and subsequently, I've yet to see any really good pictures.

However, here's a couple pictures of Sandi from Friday morning (day of the... read more 9 comments

Shredded LBC (Male) Transformation

Well, you always see female LBC client pictures posted on the site, and admittedly females (both competitors and non-competitors) make up the large majority of my client roster. As such, I am occasionally asked if I can get the job done with the guys too.

In my opinion, the guys are even easier. When you run into a client that takes his (or her) goals very seriously and you put him on a good plan, well, the results speak for themselves. Cameron is one of those guys who has earned his results. It took him a bit to find his stride but once he did, there was no looking back.

Cam came to me wanting to do his... read more 8 comments
