Choosing Your Bodybuilding Coach

      Many friends have asked me "Where does one find a bodybuilding coach?" I'm sure some have done it through word of mouth, at their local gym, or through search engines. I wanted to share exactly how I found my coaches.

      I first started by looking at perhaps most of the most obvious of places - an NPC show schedule. Found here: http://npcnewsonline.com. On it was the committee's complete list of competitions throughout the nation. I eyed coaches  at locations close to home (Florida) so that I could work individually with my coach during academic breaks and compete locally.

      To my pleasant surprise the promoters and contacts for these competitive events are listed on the same page so I simply picked up the phone and started calling numbers and asking around. I spoke with coaches who discussed their training philosophy, personal competitive experience, training track record, availability, etc. 

        After some time I decided on my two fabulous coaches, Chris and Allison. This married couple has over 20 years of experience as competitors and coaches and train bodybuilders and non-bodybuilders alike.  Not to mention both are NPC judges and bodybuilding event promoters. The Eaddys train bodybuilding athletes and others full-time in central Florida. I've found they are incredibly detail oriented, supportive, kind, and constructive. The couple's simplistic but effective nutrition plan is exactly what I need to be on point to compete. Also, their adjustments to my training and posing have allowed me to overcome the training/knowledge wall I recently hit. My body has responded so much better to my workouts since! I also can finally pose now! 

      Here are my coaches on the stage :). To find out more about the Eaddys you can visit their website here: http://www.teameaddy.com/index.html

      I can't stress asking around enough, doing your research and doing it early! Off to work, friends! Oh, and as for the progress picks they'll have to wait. The photos are looking better but I think I deserve a grand final reveal :).
