Jakes Transformation

Alex A · Dec 13, 2009

I wanted to share this with you guys... Jake is the fireman who just competed at the excalibur.. The guy really put his heart into his prep and pulled it all together.

His plans are to put on muscle, stay in good shape and compete again in the near future.. Bodybuilding is not just about placings in a show but about changing your life for the better!

Amazing job by you and Jake- thanks for sharing.

I'm going to recommend to a friend that he hires you- he's motocross racer who wants to go from 220 to a shredded 195 to be more competitive, and I think you are the man to help him as he has "hit the wall" on his diet...

Alex, I remember seeing Jake, 4 1/2 weeKs before The Border States. That was the show he was planning to do. When I saw him, I told him point blank, you aren't ready to do that show. He agree and ask for some guidance and I suggested training with you and going in The Excalibur.

What a great transformation. He was very happy with the way his prep went with you. I am sure we are going to see more of Jake in the future with even a better physique.

Put it this way... When i jumped into this prep.. i honestly had some doubts that we had enough time but agreed to give it my best and so did he.

He lost a total of over 40lbs.. that is amazing to be honest.. and he is going to grow this off season.. but grow smart with an emphasis on quality and keeping a lot of that condition.

lets face it... competing for that trophy is great but... Jake has 3 kids one on the way and a great wife... He has plenty of trophies to be proud of..

He wants to look lean and mean all year! but like myself...

Size is a focus this off season.. I believe both can be accomplished with good planning and execution!

no... he lost over 40 lbs since the start of his prep at 16 weeks out.

I started working with him at 12 weeks out.. hes about 5'6" and about 160lbs in this pic..

Hes not a monster but did great for his first ever competition and competed in a big show.. The Excalibur, placing 2nd in the novice lightweight class.

Thanks a heck of a lot Gerry... My life is busier than ever!

Our son is now 8 months and i want to post a pic of him soon.. hes so cute, nice easy going kid.. our daughter is almost 4 years old... growing up fast.

So much has been going on.. The nationals was a good learning experience.. it was tough and... I am going to have my first good off season in a while.. I need to put on some size.. and come back bigger and better..
My prep did go really good for me.. the outcome was not what i had wanted obviously.

Been keeping busy with many opportunities that came my way and time flies.. I feel bad for not keeping in touch.. thanks for asking about us!

Thanks to all for the comments! Wow, what an experience is all I have to say! I love this sport and way of life. Alex, your the man! The guidance and effort that you have put into me in thew past 13 weeks is nothing short of amazing! Just to think, you did the bulk of my prep while you were prepping yourself for national! wow, I had a hard enough time carring on a conversion with someone about what I was doing. Your the real deal and a true friend. I will continue to work with you for a long time my friend and every year I will continue to grow and be more sucuessful in each contest that I do! Greg, I owe you a big thanks as well. Thanks for keeping me in check and helping with posing. As Alex said "real team work!" What a great group of guys to work with. Thanks for going to the show and for all the support!
