When Dave started working with Strength Lab, he had one clear objective: to get into peak physical condition for his first bodybuilding competition. Achieving single-digit body fat and chiseled abs is no small feat, but with expert guidance, dedication, and a customized plan, Dave stepped onto the stage looking lean, confident, and competition-ready.
“I didn’t just transform my physique—I gained a whole new appreciation for what’s possible with the right strategy and support,” Dave shares.

Dave’s Strength Lab Journey

Single Digit Body Fat

Won His Categories
Preparing for a bodybuilding competition requires a precision-based approach to training, nutrition, and recovery. The Strength Lab team designed a detailed program tailored to Dave’s goals, focusing on:

Advanced Strength Training: Emphasising hypertrophy and definition to showcase muscle separation and size.

Strategic Nutrition: A carefully calibrated nutrition plan, including macronutrient cycling and calorie manipulation to promote fat loss while preserving muscle.

Posing Practice & Conditioning: Ensuring Dave’s hard-earned results looked their best under the competition lights.
Through meticulous planning and weekly check-ins, Dave consistently progressed toward his goals, eventually reaching a body fat percentage in the single digits and achieving the shredded look required for competitive bodybuilding.
Bodybuilding prep isn’t easy, and Dave’s journey was no exception. From mastering a demanding training regimen to managing low energy during the final weeks of cutting, Dave faced significant challenges. However, with the Strength Lab team by his side, he overcame each obstacle and maintained focus on his end goal.
“The last few weeks were tough,” Dave admits. “But the support and accountability from my coach made all the difference. I felt fully prepared when I stepped onto the stage.”
Competition Day: Celebrating the Transformation
On competition day, Dave’s hard work paid off. He won his categories. His physique was a testament to months of commitment and the expert guidance provided by Strength Lab. With defined abs, vascularity, and a polished stage presence, Dave left a lasting impression on the judges.
