I wanted to share a quick update regarding the Arnold Classic USA this weekend.
Due to a misunderstanding related to the competition registration process, I unfortunately will not be competing at the Arnold Classic this Saturday as originally planned.
I know many of you were looking forward to seeing me on stage, and I truly appreciate the support and encouragement leading into the event.
I’ve shared a short video on Instagram explaining the situation, which you can watch below.
Right now my focus shifts to the Arnold Sports Festival UK, March 27–29, where I’ll be preparing to step back on stage.
Yes, this is absolutely a mirror check after a shower. And yes, I’m aware it qualifies as a mild thirst trap. Guilty as charged – please forgive me.
But there’s also something honest about this moment — no pump, no posing routine, just good lighting and the quiet confirmation that the work is showing up even when the session is over. Sometimes you train for months, then catch a glimpse like this and think, okay… keep going.
My friend Jackson Peos just posted a YouTube video from my time training in Bali. Jackson is an Australian sports nutritionist, bodybuilder, and online coach who founded the Undefeated Gym in Bali, and he’s been documenting a lot of the athletes who come through to train there.
In the video, we spend the day talking about prep and training while I’m eight weeks out from the Arnold Classic Ohio. We start with breakfast at Pump Kitchen, where we talk about why Bali has become such a great place for athletes to prepare for big shows. The environment is calm, the food is clean, the gyms are excellent, and the overall mindset can make prep feel much easier than grinding through it in a cold city somewhere.
After that we head into Undefeated Gym for a back workout. We talk through some training philosophy along the way — focusing on making lighter weight feel heavy, chasing the right muscular feeling rather than ego lifting, and making small adjustments to improve lat engagement and avoid overusing the traps.
Later we cool off in the pool outside the gym, where I manage to slip and almost crack my head open on the deck. Fortunately I landed on my back and walked away from it with nothing more than a scare.
Toward the end of the video, Jackson talks about his recovery after nearly dying last year due to medical complications. It’s a reminder that bodybuilding — even the suffering of contest prep — is a privilege when you have your health.
June 2013. The weights were lighter, the muscle was smaller, and everything about training was still somewhat new — but the goal was already there. I didn’t have the maturity I have now. I didn’t know how long the road would be, or how many days would feel slow, or how many times I’d have to come back and do the same basics again. I just knew I wanted to build something real.
Thirteen years later, the contrast is obvious. More size, more control, more understanding of how my body responds. Better technique. Better patience. Better standards. What people see as “transformation” is really just the accumulation of thousands of unglamorous sessions — showing up when motivation was high, and showing up when it wasn’t.
People see the final photos: the lights, the smile, the shorts, the pose. They see a physique that looks finished — sharp, dry, polished — like it simply arrived that way.
What they don’t see is the week that built that look.
Because the Arnold isn’t decided when you step under the lights. It’s decided in the days before you ever hear your name called — in a week where everything gets quieter, narrower, more controlled. Training changes. Food becomes exact. Sleep stops being a “nice to have” and becomes part of the job. And every small choice carries more weight, because the standard in that room is higher than anywhere else.
With the 2026 Arnold Classic days away, let me take you behind the scenes into what happens in the final days leading up to the competition.
When you step on stage, you’re not trying to simply look good. You’re trying to show up as your best version in a lineup full of men who did the same work — and did it well.
Peak week has a reputation for chaos. People imagine tricks, panic, and constant last-minute changes. For me it’s the opposite. The closer the show gets, the more I simplify. The goal is to protect the look, not chase one.
Training gets shorter and cleaner. There’s no “building” happening here. That work was done months ago, rep by rep. This week is maintenance with intent: keeping the body moving, keeping muscles full, keeping inflammation down, leaving the gym feeling better than when I walked in. Controlled reps. Tight execution. No hero sets, and no unnecessary fatigue.
And at this point, the body starts talking louder — if you’re paying attention. How you wake up. How your waist looks in the morning. How digestion feels after meals. Whether you’re holding water. Whether sleep was deep or broken. None of this is guesswork. It’s observation. You’re watching patterns, not overreacting to single moments.
Posing shifts, too. Earlier in prep it’s practice: learning angles, refining lines, building endurance. In peak week it becomes rehearsal. Now I’m treating it like a performance. Transitions matter, breathing matter, and timing matters. How long you can hold tension without your face looking strained matters.
Men’s Physique is judged fast, but the best athletes look composed the entire time. They never look rushed. They never look like they’re fighting the pose. That calm is trained.
This is also the moment where feedback becomes priceless, because your eyes can lie to you when you’re depleted. You can feel confident in the mirror and still miss something small: a shoulder angle that flattens your frame, a stance that makes your waist look wider than it is, a rib flare you don’t notice until a coach points it out. Peak week is when you want clean eyes on you, because the margin is tiny.
That’s why coach check-ins matter so much. One of the most valuable things a coach brings during this week is emotional stability. Prep does strange things to the mind. You start seeing problems that aren’t there. You start wanting to “fix” everything. You start convincing yourself a small change is a disaster.
A good coach doesn’t get pulled into that. They stay logical. They keep you anchored to what actually matters. Sometimes it’s one message. One photo. One correction. And suddenly your brain relaxes again, because you remember: the plan is working.
Food, of course, becomes more structured. Meals get timed, and choices get boring on purpose. Digestion becomes a priority, because you can’t look sharp if your stomach is stressed. This week rewards predictability: foods you know your body handles well, foods that keep you calm and flat inside, not foods that create surprise bloat, inflammation, or water.
Then there’s travel, check-ins, and the weird energy of the venue.
Columbus in March feels like you’re walking into a different weather system — cold outside, intense inside. Check-ins are usually straightforward on paper, but mentally it’s a big moment. It’s when the weekend stops being “upcoming” and becomes real. You see other athletes in person. You hear backstage noise for the first time. You feel that quiet pressure in the air — not panic, just seriousness.
That environment can sharpen you or shake you. I let it sharpen me.
The circle gets smaller. The schedule gets tighter. The focus gets narrower. You’re not there to socialize. You’re there to execute.
And then there’s the part nobody romanticizes: the tan.
A spray tan is one of those things you only understand once you’ve done it. It’s messy, awkward, uncomfortable — and completely necessary. Under stage lights, definition disappears without it. Separation gets washed out. The tan makes the physique readable from the audience. You can be in insane condition and still look flat without the right color.
So yes, it’s annoying. But it’s part of the sport.
The night before the show is when a lot of people try to regain control by doing more. More checking. More fixing. More pacing. More worrying.
For me, the night before is where you protect your nervous system. Calm evening. Quiet. No unnecessary walking. No chaos. The goal is to feel safe and recovered so your body holds what you’ve built. This is where routines become your anchor. You’re not trying to invent confidence; you’re relying on structure.
Show day starts early, and the theme stays the same: steady.
You check your look. You eat what works. You stay calm. You don’t chase last-minute magic. You watch details — waist, shoulders, skin — and you stay measured. A lot of show day is waiting, but it’s not passive waiting. It’s controlled waiting.
Right before stage, you get a pump — and it has to be smart.
You’re not training, and you’re not trying to fatigue anything. You’re simply bringing blood into the muscles so they look alive under the lights. For Men’s Physique I keep it clean and targeted: shoulders, chest, arms, back. Controlled reps, with short rests.
Experience matters here, because a pump can elevate your look — or ruin it if you overdo it.
And then you walk out.
The lights are bright, and the crowd becomes a blur. The noise is there, but your mind gets quiet. Because by then, the work is finished. The meals, the training, the travel, the posing, the check-ins, the tan, the waiting — everything funnels into a few minutes where you stand still and let the judges — and the world — see what you built.
That’s why this week is so intense.
It’s precise. It’s disciplined. And it’s the most honest part of the sport — because the stage doesn’t care what you intended.
A lot of people think progress is simple: add plates forever and you’ll grow forever. Sometimes that’s true. A lot of the time it’s just noise. You can move a ton of weight with momentum, joint stress, and whatever muscle feels like taking over — and the target muscle barely did its job.
Bodybuilding isn’t powerlifting. I’m not being judged on what I lift. I’m being judged on what I build. That changes the whole goal of a set. The question isn’t “Did the weight go up?” The question is “Did the muscle I’m training take the load, through the full rep, the way I intended?” If the answer is shaky, the set might look impressive, but it’s not doing much for the physique.
What actually builds muscle is tension in the right place. Clean setup, controlled reps, consistent range, and a load you can own. If the weight forces you to shorten the movement, bounce out of the bottom, shift your line, or start recruiting everything except the target, it’s probably too heavy for the goal. That’s how people end up with cranky elbows, sore shoulders, and the same weak points year after year — because they keep training around the muscle instead of through it.
Here’s the practical rule I use: if I can’t repeat the same rep the same way, the weight is too high for what I’m trying to do. The rep should look like the rep before it. Same path, same tempo, same control. When fatigue shows up, I still want the target muscle doing the work, not my joints finding shortcuts. Heavy has a place, but it has to be useful heavy — heavy that you can still feel, still control, still own.
Save the ego lifting for a different day. When I want results, I pick a weight I can control and make every rep count. Add load when the reps stay clean, not when the clip looks cool.
Every sport has certain stages that mean more. In bodybuilding, the Arnold Sports Festival is one of them. And it begins later this week, running from March 5-8, 2026.
Held each year in Columbus, Ohio, the Arnold isn’t just another contest on the calendar. It’s one of the most respected and established events in the world of physique sports. Founded in 1989 and named after Arnold Schwarzenegger himself, it has become a global gathering point — not just for bodybuilding, but for strength sports of every kind.
Winning here carries weight. Placing here carries weight. Simply standing on that stage means you belong in a very small room.
This year, I’ll step onto that stage again in the Men’s Physique division on Saturday, March 7.
Last year, I finished fifth in my category. That placing meant a lot to me — not just because of the ranking, but because of what it represented. Competing at the Arnold means you’re lining up against athletes who are not just good, but world-class. It’s a stage where small details separate competitors, and where execution matters.
The 2026 Men’s Physique line-up reflects exactly that level of competition:
Nam Tran Quang
Emanual Hunter
Vitor Chaves
Andrei Deiu
Benquil Marigny
Brandon Hendrickson
Alessandro Cavagnola
Emmanuel Jesus Oliveira da Costa
Burak Ozkul
Dilson Espindola Silva
Paul Gustave
Lucas Viudes
This is not an easy stage. There are former champions, established names, rising athletes, and competitors who continue to refine their look year after year. It will be an honor to stand on stage beside them.
The Arnold sits in a unique place in bodybuilding. It’s not just about size. It’s not just about condition. It’s about presence. Presentation. Precision. In Men’s Physique especially, the margin is razor-thin. Waist control, shoulder width, balance, composure — everything is evaluated quickly and critically.
That’s why I respect this event so much.
You don’t accidentally do well at the Arnold. You earn it through months of structured training, disciplined nutrition, intelligent peak week decisions, and calm execution under pressure. The lights are bright. The standard is high. And the audience understands what they’re looking at.
For me, this week is about stepping back onto that stage sharper, more mature, and more precise than last year. Fifth place showed me I belong in that lineup. This year is about refining the details — better control, better fullness, better composure.
The Arnold doesn’t care what you intended to bring. It only shows what you built.
And that’s why I’m excited to step on that stage again.
Be sure to check out the first two video in my YouTube series about the Road to the Arnold Classic 2026.
Every serious training phase leaves marks somewhere. For me, they usually show up in my hands first.
Calluses don’t come from one hard workout. They come from repetition. From gripping the same bars, pulling the same handles, pressing the same weights week after week. They’re a quiet kind of evidence — you can’t fake them, and you can’t rush them.
If you walk into the gym short on time and can only do one mobility drill before training, this is the one I’d keep.
A controlled hip flexor stretch.
Most people don’t realize how much the hips influence everything else. We sit all day. We travel. We drive. We shorten the front of the hips without noticing it. Then we walk into the gym and expect clean squats, strong presses, stable rows, and good posture under load.
That usually doesn’t work.
When the hip flexors are tight, the pelvis tilts forward. That changes how the core braces, how the glutes fire, and how the lower back absorbs load. You might feel it as stiffness, or you might just notice that nothing feels “set” when you start lifting.
The stretch itself doesn’t need to be complicated.
Kneeling position. One knee down, the other foot forward. Glute lightly engaged. Ribs stacked over hips. From there, ease into the stretch instead of forcing it. Breathe. Let the front of the hip open gradually.
What you’re looking for isn’t discomfort — it’s space.
Even thirty to sixty seconds per side can make a noticeable difference. You’ll usually feel taller when you stand up. Squats feel smoother. Lunges feel more balanced. Upper-body work often feels more stable because your base is working the way it should.
If you have time for more mobility, great. Ankles, shoulders, thoracic spine — they all matter.
But if time is tight and you want the biggest return on a single movement, start at the hips. When they move better, everything above and below them tends to follow.
We’re officially two weeks out from the Arnold Classic, and I’m here in New York dialing everything in.
At this stage, the feeling changes. It’s no longer about building — it’s about refining. The work has been done. Now it’s about precision, execution, and managing energy intelligently as the margin for error gets smaller.
New York is freezing right now — real cold, the kind that hits you in the face the second you step outside. But the environment doesn’t matter. Prep doesn’t pause for weather. It doesn’t care how you feel.
My pre-workout these days is simple and strategic: 35–40 grams of cream of rice with vanilla protein and a banana. Fast carbs, fast protein, quick sugars. Two weeks out, energy starts to dip. The weight is still trending down — which is a good sign — and the metabolism is running high, but you begin to feel that depletion creeping in. Even mentally. The brain runs on glucose, and when carbs get lower, you feel it.
That’s why execution becomes everything.
Today was a back session, but not just any back session. At this point, it’s not about moving the most weight in the gym. It’s about contraction, detail, thickness — creating depth in the muscle. I focused heavily on squeezing, on activating the lower lat fibers, on feeling every inch of the movement instead of chasing numbers.
For me, training time is sacred. When I step into the gym, I switch into what I call “ghost mode.” No distractions. Full connection between mind and muscle. That shift in mindset has been a game changer in my development. Instead of just lifting, I command the muscle. I control the contraction. I dictate the quality of every rep.
And two weeks out, that level of control is non-negotiable.
Fatigue is real at this stage. Today was the first day I really started to feel it. The pump doesn’t last as long. Volume tolerance drops. You can feel when intensity begins to fade. So instead of forcing it, I adjust. I push hard early in the session, and when I notice the back starting to lose quality and fullness, I don’t stubbornly keep going. I reduce intensity and shift focus — today moving into triceps rather than wasting effort on declining output.
Training intelligently this close to competition is more important than training aggressively.
Post-workout was clean and simple: cod, egg whites, some white meat, vegetables, and a banana for fast sugars. Protein is light and controlled. Everything has a purpose. Nothing is random. At this point, even small nutritional decisions can influence how you look on stage.
We did our first true check at two weeks out. Condition is good. I’m holding fullness better than I expected. I feel slightly more volumized compared to this point in previous preps, and I’m curious to see how the final shape develops as we move into peak week.
Next step is organizing a final review with my coach Steve before flying to Ohio. Peak week adjustments will determine how everything comes together.
Two weeks out is not glamorous. It’s disciplined. It’s calculated. It’s quiet work.
But this is where champions are made — not in the spotlight, but in the small decisions when energy is low and focus has to be high.
I’m grateful to share this phase with you. Your support truly fuels this journey more than you realize.
This week had one message running through almost everything: the results come from what you protect.
On Sculpting Sunday, I wrote about the strongest “supplement” I’ve ever found: sleep. Training can still happen when your sleep is messy — you can get through sessions, you can sweat, you can leave feeling like you did something — but the sharpness disappears fast. Sleep is where the body actually puts the work to use. When that window stays consistent, everything else gets easier: recovery, performance, joints, pump, mood… all of it.
Motivation Monday stayed in that same lane, just from a different angle. That post was about the moment after the storm — when the set is done and the body gives you honest feedback. You can feel what held up, where you rushed, where you stayed clean, where you started bargaining. Those little “in-between” moments are where you learn what needs attention next time.
Then on Tuesday, we took a breath and went to Hawaii. I love how the islands change your tempo. You move more, sit less, spend time outside, and the days stretch out in a way that makes your nervous system unclench. I also like the reminder Hawaii gives: structure can exist without tension. You can stay disciplined while still letting life feel lighter.
Later in the week, I shared how I handle training during peak week — the phase where effort still matters, but the job becomes precision. By that point, the body is already built. The goal is to bring out detail and stay connected when calories are low and recovery is slower. I’m basically chasing clean execution, strong contraction, and smart fatigue — the kind of work that shows up on stage.
Throwback Thursday was a fun one: Five Guys in 2018 — the meal that tastes like the finish line. Right now, heading into the Arnold, my food is the opposite of that tray. It’s repetitive, clean, and predictable. That’s the deal. But I’d be lying if I said I don’t think about that first post-show bite sometimes. It’s not even about being “bad.” It’s about relief — the moment you can exhale and just enjoy a meal because the job is done.
And Friday Flex brought it home with the tanning tent. Spray bronze is one of those steps people laugh about until they’ve stood under stage lights. Then they understand. At this point in prep, the big work is already done. The tan doesn’t change the physique — it makes sure the physique reads the way it should when it counts. It’s a final detail in a process built on accumulation.
Next week, I’ll have more tips, more photos, and a look at what happens before I step on stage at a competition like the Arnold Classic.
Getting spray bronzed is one of those behind-the-scenes steps that doesn’t look like training, but it plays a real role once you’re under stage lights. The tan deepens shadows, sharpens separation, and makes sure months of work don’t get washed out the moment you step onstage. Under bright lighting, even a great physique can flatten without it.
With the Arnold Classic coming up, this part of prep is back on the calendar. By this point, the lifting is largely done. The food is locked in. The conditioning is either there or it isn’t. The tan doesn’t create anything new — it simply reveals what’s already been built. That’s why I treat it with the same respect as any other detail.
Standing in the tanning tent is a reminder that bodybuilding is about accumulation. Training builds the muscle. Diet brings the conditioning. Sleep, recovery, and consistency shape the final look. This is just the final layer that lets all of that show when it counts.
December 2018 — back when I could sit down with a mountain of fries and a couple burgers and just enjoy it like a normal human. No food scale. No “how much sodium is in this?” math problem. Just the simple, perfect chaos of a Five Guys tray in all its greasy glory.
Right now, heading into the Arnold, my meals are the opposite of this. They’re clean, planned, and honestly a little boring — because boring works. Prep is supposed to be strict. That structure is what lets you show up sharp, dry, and ready. But I’d be lying if I said this kind of meal doesn’t creep into my mind once in a while, especially on the tougher days when I’m hungry and still have cardio to do.
This is the kind of cheat meal I want after the show is over. Not because I “need” it, but because it tastes like the finish line. The first real bite of a post-competition meal hits different when you’ve earned it — when you’ve kept promises to yourself for months, stayed disciplined when nobody was watching, and walked on stage knowing you didn’t cut corners. Save the burgers for after. Handle the work now.
In bodybuilding, “peak week” refers to the final seven days before a competition — the narrow window between finishing preparation and stepping on stage. It’s the moment when training, nutrition, recovery, and presentation all converge. Nothing major is built here. The physique you bring to the show has already been earned long before this point. Peak week exists to make sure that work shows up clearly under the lights.
For someone outside the sport, it’s easy to assume this is when athletes push the hardest. In reality, it’s when everything becomes more deliberate. The goal is to arrive on stage looking full, balanced, sharp, and controlled — without creating unnecessary stress that could flatten the body or dull detail.
By the time I reach peak week, my training has already shifted. Heavy lifting takes a back seat. I’m no longer chasing numbers or fatigue. The focus turns to precision — how each rep feels, where tension is landing, and whether the movement stays clean from start to finish. Calories are low, recovery is limited, and the margin for error is smaller. That’s why intensity comes down and awareness goes up.
I usually train around seventy-five to eighty percent of my normal loads during this phase. That gives me enough resistance to keep the muscles responsive without digging into recovery. Every set has a purpose. Every exercise is chosen because it helps highlight or maintain a specific area of the physique. There’s no room for ego lifting here. A single sloppy session can take more than it gives.
This is also when mind–muscle connection becomes critical. I slow the tempo, control the negative, and stay connected to the contraction throughout the rep. If that connection fades, I stop. Peak week isn’t about finishing a workout at all costs — it’s about protecting quality. When energy is low, forcing volume or intensity doesn’t create better results. And this is not a time you want to risk injury.
Rest periods shorten, but they’re structured. I want the muscle under pressure, not chaos. Short breaks keep blood in the area and help bring out separation, especially when paired with controlled movement. It’s subtle work. You won’t see anything dramatic happening in the gym during peak week, and that’s exactly how it should look.
More than anything, peak week teaches you to listen. The body communicates clearly at this stage. Some days feel sharper than others. Some movements feel right; others don’t. Being able to adjust in real time — stopping a set early, choosing a different angle, backing off when something feels off — is part of the discipline. This is where experience matters.
As the Arnold Classic approaches, peak week always reminds me that bodybuilding rewards patience. The final look isn’t created in seven days. It’s revealed in those days. Peak week simply clears the path so the physique can show itself without interference.
When I step on stage, what people see isn’t a last-minute transformation. It’s years of structure, repetition, restraint, and attention to detail — carried carefully through the final stretch so nothing gets lost at the finish line.
To see me demonstrating these principles in a gym, check out the following YouTube video.
Every trip to Hawaii feels like stepping into a different rhythm. Days stretch out. You wake up with the sun, spend more time outside than inside, and stop checking the clock so often as you shift to “Hawaii time.”
Even if you arrive carrying stress or fatigue, it doesn’t take long before your body starts to settle into something more natural. It’s the Hawaiian way, and it’s contagious.
What I’ve always found interesting about Hawaii is that people talk about it as one destination, but it’s really a collection of very different islands, each with its own personality, rhythm, and geology.
Oahu feels like the crossroads — history, city energy, and surf culture all intersecting with each other. You can feel the weight of the past there, especially when you start learning what the land has seen long before resorts and hotels showed up.
Maui tends to feel more polished, almost contemplative, with long drives that invite you to think and beaches that make you want to stay put longer than planned.
Kauai feels older somehow — greener, wilder, quieter — like the island doesn’t care whether you understand it or not.
And then there’s the Big Island. It feels raw and powerful, shaped by fire and time, constantly reminding you that nature is still very much in charge.
That sense of history runs underneath everything. Hawaii isn’t just beautiful; it’s meaningful. The land, the ocean, the mountains — none of it is treated as decoration. You feel that in the culture, in the language, in the way people talk about where they’re from.
There’s an awareness that you’re a guest in this enchanted land. You start moving differently. You walk more. You listen more. You don’t rush through moments that deserve your full presence.
Food plays into that too. Meals feel less about efficiency and more about connection — fresh fish, fruit that tastes like it actually came from the earth, flavors that are simple but intentional.
You often eat outside. You eat slower, savoring each bite, never in a rush. Even when you’re keeping structure with training and nutrition, there’s something grounding about eating food that feels close to its source.
Recreation in Hawaii doesn’t feel like “activities” in the usual sense. It’s movement woven into the day. Hiking that turns into reflection. Swimming that feels restorative. Long walks that double as recovery without you labeling them as such. Your body stays warm, loose, and responsive. You don’t need to force movement — it happens naturally. Physical fitness is very much a part of the culture of the islands.
The vibe people call “island time” isn’t about doing nothing. It’s about doing things without friction. Effort still exists, discipline still exists, but there’s less noise around it.
You’re not proving anything. You’re just living in rhythm with where you are. For someone who spends most of the year inside structure, numbers, and precision, that contrast is powerful. It reminds me that control doesn’t always mean tension.
And then there’s the moment of leaving. That’s when Hawaii really shows its effect. You notice it in your body first — breathing feels easier, joints feel lighter, posture feels more natural.
Mentally, things seem clearer. You leave settled and centered. Like something inside you was quietly recalibrated.
Hawaii isn’t a place you just visit. It’s a place that lingers. Long after the flight home, long after the sand is out of your shoes, the islands stay with you — as a reminder of how life can feel when movement, environment, and intention line up.
