Comp prep coaching in Adelaide

Ruby placed 2nd at her first bodybuilding show, ICN South Australia. I coached her through every week of that prep, and every athlete I coach gets the same approach.

Prep is the hardest thing you'll do in this sport. You need a coach who reads your data every week, adjusts before things go sideways, and tells you the truth about your conditioning.

• 2nd Ruby's debut show, ICN SA
• Weekly check-ins with physique photos
• $120 per week, 4-week minimum

How I run a prep

• Start early. Most natural athletes need somewhere around 16 to 24 weeks, sometimes more, depending on where they start. Rushing the deficit costs muscle.
• Lose at the right rate. For most naturals that's roughly 0.5 to 1% of bodyweight per week: fast enough to get there, slow enough to keep what you've built.
• Train to keep your muscle. Heavy, high-quality work maintains the mechanical tension that tells your body to hold on to muscle while calories come down.
• Adjust from data, not panic. Weight trends, check-ins and photos drive every change.
• Plan the finish. Peak week and show day are mapped out, so nothing is left to chance.

Federations and classes

We pick the federation and class that suit your physique in your first consult. Ruby competed with ICN, a natural, drug-tested federation, and natural bodybuilding is what I coach.

Posing

Posing wins shows. You send me posing video throughout prep and get feedback on every round, so you walk on stage presenting the physique you spent months building.

In person or online

I'm based in Mount Barker, so Adelaide athletes can train with me in person at Snap Fitness Aston Hills. Everyone else runs the same prep online through the coaching app.

Frequently asked questions

How far out from my show should I start?

As early as you can. Most natural competitors need around 16 to 24 weeks, depending on starting body fat. If your show is closer than that, get in touch anyway. We'll work out whether it's realistic or whether a later show suits you better.

Do you coach natural athletes?

Yes. Natural, drug-tested bodybuilding is my focus. Ruby placed 2nd at her ICN SA debut.

Do you coach men and women?

Yes. I've coached both male and female clients through comp prep.
