My man, Jake, is 3 – 0 this year. He’s entered 3 shows and won 3 shows! I’m pretty stoked to say the least!
Jake competed in a drug-tested NGA competition this past weekend. Since he’s fairly new to competing, he was just going to enter the Novice division. But he eventually decided to go ahead and enter the Open division as well (which is the hardest division). That ended up being a good decision.
Jake won both the Novice Heavyweight and the Open Heavyweight classes.
Compared to his victory two weeks ago at an NPC contest, Jake looked a tad better this time around. The difference was simply two more weeks of burning fat, which equated to him being about one pound lighter. Since his peaking went perfectly last time, we did the exact same thing this time (with some minor changes on contest day). After all, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
That will be it for Jake this year. He’ll be back next year with even more muscle. We’ve managed to put 6.5 pounds of muscle on him each of the last two years (and that even included working around a couple of injuries). So the plan is to put on another 6 – maybe even 8 - pounds of muscle on this next year. That’ll put him on stage at 208-210 pounds. Big difference than 190 two years ago.
As you can see, slow and steady wins the race!
Once again, Jake, congratulations! You are a pleasure to work with.
Best,
Dr Clay
