First athlete, first show, and definitely not the last. 🔥

has been lifting seriously for 2 years under the guidance of from , and somewhere along the way, the interest to step on a bodybuilding stage started growing.

We began working together for about 2–3 months during his off-season, then rolled straight into a 6-month prep from Feb 2025 to Aug 2025. Honestly, Soh is the kind of client every coach hopes for — he follows the plan to the dot. 👀

Sometimes I even wished he’d push back or give me more feedback, just so I know I wasn’t pushing him too hard. 😅🤣
I’m especially proud of how he managed everything outside the gym. Running his restaurant (Sabahan folks will know Wan Wan — the one with the crazy lines every day 😮‍💨), waking up earlier than most to prep food, and still sticking to his diet while serving up fish noodles and tom yum to others… that takes discipline.

As his coach, my main goal was to guide him through his first prep, making sure he experienced the grind but also came out of it healthy. What I didn’t expect was for him to bring home two medals — 5th place 🎖️ at First Timer and 3rd place 🥉 at 🤯. Of course, it wasn’t all smooth sailing. There were moments of doubt and stress, but he was willing to communicate and we worked through it together.

Super proud of how far he’s come, and this is just the beginning. Improvements are lined up, and next season, we’re aiming even higher. 🫡🔥

Not seeing the number move?

Not seeing a big difference in pictures?

Good. It means you’re focusing where it really matters: strength, recovery, habits, discipline. 💯

Lighting, angles, even your posture can make photos lie.

But your consistency never lies.

Keep showing up.

The real results are being built where no camera can see. 🔥

It’s still real protein tho—unlike the fake ones that claim ‘great taste & good macros’ but end up just being dust… or an overpriced Milo. IYKYK 👀💸

Same weight, but a completely different body composition in just 1 month! 👀 reached out to me for online coaching while he was in Singapore 🇸🇬. Working in the media industry is no easy job, especially during production shoots, where he often needs to carry heavy cameras.

For his training approach, we emphasized technique to ensure he performed the exercises with precision, targeting the specific areas we wanted to focus on. As his technique improved, so did his intensity week by week. 🏋🏻‍♂️

Now, I know his food intake may seem boring or even dull to some, but I call it real dedication. Nutrition is crucial for achieving the results you want, and we kept it simple for him by using pre-cooked chicken breast from his local convenience store, paired with sufficient carbs and fiber. 🍱

On special occasions, of course, it’s perfectly fine to go off-plan for 1 or 2 meals. There’s nothing wrong with that—it’s all about finding balance in your lifestyle. Lo and behold, the results still speak for themselves. 🎊

The gain train is definitely en route for Lawson, and I can’t wait to see even more progress in the future.

Cheers and keep going! 💪
