Congrats on your pro card, extremely impressive. Inspiring powerbuilder!

LMAO No, I had 1/2 of a dyazide the night before and no other changes other than food.

Thank you everyone for the kind words but I honestly think Shelby deserves just as much or more credit. It was so cool to see my body improve LITERALLY every meal between waking up on Friday, through prejudging all the way until finals on Saturday night... Especially since with my previous coaches I just got worse and worse the closer we got to the show. Shelby is an absolute genius and we only have worked together for about five months. He's agreed to keep me on and I'm really excited to debut as a pro with his help, but not for a while -- I still have a lot to improve on in addition to my powerlifting meet in 6 weeks!

I thought Shelby didn't work with male competitors, although he does pick up 1 or 2 amateur guys here and there.

These comparisons are pretty incredible (scroll thru, there are a few).

He worked with Shelby before like ten years ago I believe. Probably why Shelby agreed to work with him again

@Ben Pollack Congratulations on your card. Well deserved.

You were already a very high level lifter before working with Justin. Would it be an accurate assessment to say he helped you put on tissue and @Shelby was responsible for further refining the condition?

Such incredible progress in an experienced lifter is quite rare. What do you think contributed to your success? Anything you learned from the experience that others may be able to utilize?

We had some mutual friends when you trained at Hyde Park. Cool, quirky gym.

Mods can we get an IFBB pro tag on his name.

Ben, let me have some advice, on your side triceps, keep that posture and don't push your leg forward.
