Road To The Stage
The What?
This site documents my training, nutrition, and accumulated lifting opinions while preparing for a bodybuilding competition.
I’ve been training for a long time without a tangible goal. Now that there is one, I figured I might as well log the trials, errors, minor victories, and occasional questionable decisions that come with prep.
If nothing else, this will serve as some form of accountability — and hopefully be useful later when I forget why I decided any of this was a good idea.
The Goal
🏆 WWA (formerly IDFA) WWA Physique Sports — July 19, 2026
If you’re curious how a prep is managed over time, this is my record. Comments are enabled, so feel free to tell me what you like — or don’t.
