Jake's Experience
Being coached by Jordan was a great experience. For many years, I was skeptical about coaches; I thought I could do it on my own. I decided this time around to swallow my pride a little bit and try something new, and that was one of the best decisions I made going into prep for my last show. The diet plan was easy enough to follow, which is important if you work for a living. I simply don’t have time to cook 30 different things for one plan. Don’t get me wrong, there were still plenty of protein, carbs, and fat sources. The specific foods were easy enough to prepare. I was also coached on posing, which I believe helped me immensely, and the guidance on training helped me bring up weak parts that you couldn’t even tell were weak parts on stage. I think what I liked most was the encouragement I got from both Jordan and Kim. I went into this show with an “as long as I place” mindset, and by the time I was 3 weeks out, the mindset was “I’m here to win”. Don’t let that fool you, though; I definitely suffered; my coach made sure of that. As a result, I reached a level of conditioning I never had before. Being that this is our first prep together, I’m excited to see what the future holds for us. Amazing experience and amazing people!
