@jayfrenette plans to hit the stage in 2020, so he’s embracing some offseason fullness, while still maintaining great conditioning. In just a few weeks with higher calories and specific training, there are visible differences - fuller chest and shoulders, more strength, and quads! You should see his back shape... #bringon2020 #offseasonwork #ironforgedfitnessNew athlete @carla.paw79 putting in the work over this offseason - moving out of bikini and into figure 💪 Focusing on building in the right places to create a more balanced physique. We got her calories up on a consistent basis to give her the fuel needed to match training to build muscle. Bring on 2020!! #offseasongrind #progressoverplacings #puttinginthework #ironforgedfitnessA lot of athletes struggle with the post show timeframe - there’s no date looming over your head to hold you accountable and you’ve been strict for months. Keeping your shit together in this time is important. You’ll feel better overall when you don’t have to deal with bloating, water retention, or rapid fat gain. The fat gained from bingeing episodes is incredibly tough to lose again! @callie_kwiatkowski is a month post show, doing no cardio and her food is at an incredibly healthy level (with plenty macros AND micros). No, not all athletes will have the same outcome; some may need to keep cardio in for longer, or increase food slower. But, avoiding a bad rebound is possible, you just need to maintain the same habits and mindset as you had in prep - because it’s a lifestyle! Even the best plan will fail if an athlete doesn’t execute it. Something to remember: the food will always be there, you don’t need to eat everything in a week. #healthypostshow #recoveryphase #postshowsuccess #ironforgedfitnessLeg day just got better. Custom designed metcons with high heel insert to help with better mechanics and keeping the heel flat while allowing better ankle flexion. And anyone who know me know how much I love to design anything so I couldn’t just buy off the shelf. These are the one of kind IronForged edition. #training #legday #muscle #trainhard #trainsmart #progress #growth #biglegs #progressiveoverload #moremuscle #getbig #thengetbigger #ironforged
