Unleash Your Ultimate Physique – Enhanced Excellence

At Built By Iron Coaching LLC, we take enhanced athletes to the pinnacle of competitive bodybuilding with precision, safety, and unrelenting discipline. Our contest prep services for enhanced competitors are crafted to amplify your physique while prioritizing health under medical supervision. Guided by science, insights from elite coaches like Hany Rambod, and our iron-forged ethos, we’ll sculpt a stage-dominating body for Classic Physique, Bodybuilding, or any division.

What We Offer:

• Precision Nutrition Plans: Tailored to your enhanced physiology, we calculate TDEE and design deficits (0.5-1% body weight loss/week, ISSN, 2014) to shred fat while preserving muscle. Protein intake is set at 2.2-2.7g/kg to support recovery under higher training stress, with carb cycling and refeeds to optimize glycogen and metabolism (JISSN, 2017). Plans are adjusted weekly based on photos, measurements, and blood work to ensure hormonal balance.

• Advanced Training Programs: Inspired by Hany Rambod’s FST-7 and periodized for peak performance, our programs emphasize hypertrophy, weak point training, and progressive overload. Off-season builds mass, early prep (12-16 weeks out) intensifies volume, mid-prep (6-12 weeks) sharpens conditioning, and peak week optimizes fullness and definition. We account for enhanced recovery capacity while preventing overtraining.

• Cardio Protocols: Strategic LISS or HIIT (2-4 sessions/week initially), scaled to fat loss needs without compromising muscle. We monitor recovery markers to avoid excessive cardio, which can blunt anabolism (JISSN, 2014).

• Supplement Optimization: Evidence-based stack design, including whey protein, creatine, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), and pre-workouts (caffeine, 3-6mg/kg). We align with safe, legal supplements and warn against untested compounds. All plans assume medical oversight for any performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs).

• Health Monitoring: Mandatory regular blood work to track markers (e.g., liver, kidney, testosterone, estrogen). We prioritize safety, adjusting plans to prevent issues like aromatization or organ stress. No extreme diuretics or reckless protocols—health is non-negotiable.

• Posing Mastery: Weekly posing sessions to perfect symmetry and presentation, ensuring your enhanced physique shines under stage lights.

• Recovery & Lifestyle: Sleep (7-9 hours), stress reduction, and mobility to support enhanced training demands. We monitor biofeedback to catch red flags early (e.g., fatigue, mood swings).

• Mental Fortitude: Daily check-ins with faith-driven motivation (e.g., “The Lord is my strength and my shield” – Psalm 28:7) to keep you focused. Discipline is king—early is on time, late is failure.

Forge Your Stage-Ready Physique – Naturally

At Built By Iron Coaching LLC, we transform natural athletes into champions through precision, science, and iron-willed discipline. Our contest prep services for natural competitors are designed to maximize muscle retention, optimize fat loss, and peak your physique safely without compromising long-term health. Whether you’re stepping into Classic Physique, Bodybuilding, or any division, we’ll guide you to the stage with a plan rooted in evidence and relentless accountability.

What We Offer:

• Personalized Nutrition Plans: We calculate your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE) using validated formulas (e.g., Mifflin-St Jeor) and design calorie deficits of 0.5-1% body weight loss per week, as recommended by the ISSN (Helms et al., 2014, JISSN). Macros are tailored to prioritize protein (1.6-2.2g/kg body weight) for muscle preservation, with strategic carb cycling and refeeds to optimize metabolism and performance (JISSN, 2017). Expect whole-food-focused meal plans with flexible options, adjusted weekly based on progress (photos, measurements, biofeedback).

• Training Programs: Built on hypertrophy-focused principles and periodization, inspired by coaches like Jeff Nippard and Layne Norton. We integrate Hany Rambod’s FST-7 techniques for targeted muscle pumps, emphasizing weak point training. Programs evolve from off-season (volume-focused) to early prep (12-16 weeks out, intensifying) to peak week (deloading for maximum definition).

• Cardio Protocols: Smart, minimal-effective-dose cardio to preserve muscle mass, starting with 2-3 sessions of low-intensity steady-state (LISS) or high-intensity interval training (HIIT), adjusted based on fat loss progress (ISSN, 2014).

• Supplement Guidance: Evidence-based recommendations, including whey protein, creatine (5g/day, supported by JISSN, 2017), caffeine for performance (3-6mg/kg), and micronutrients to support health. No unproven or risky compounds—safety first.

• Recovery & Lifestyle: Sleep (7-9 hours), stress management, and mobility work to prevent injury and optimize hormonal health. We monitor biofeedback (e.g., hunger, energy, sleep quality) to avoid metabolic slowdown or overtraining.

• Posing & Presentation: Weekly posing coaching to perfect your stage presence, ensuring every angle showcases your hard-earned physique.

• Mental Prep: Daily check-ins with motivational Bible verses (e.g., “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” – Philippians 4:13) to fuel your champion mindset. We instill discipline—early is on time, late is unacceptable.
