I’ve known JR for years and last summer we approached him with a goal for our oldest son who is 14 and starting High School baseball this coming spring. We were hopting to build substantial muscle, strength and weight. JR has worked with Brennan for about 6 months now and he’s gained over 20lbs., is leaner, stronger and more prepared for his next step. Thanks for being a GREAT trainer and motivator.

Results! Results! Results! JR inspires his clients to maximize their potential. My son, Garrett, already had experience working with JR as his high school football defensive coordinator. I knew based on their pre-existing relationship that JR would undoubtably be the best choice to train Garrett and prepare him for the future rigors of college football. The results that Garrett achieved over 5 months of training with JR are remarkable. Garrett increased his maxes as follows: bench press up 65 lbs, squat up 130 lbs, deadlift up 150 lbs, clean up 75 lbs. JRs does not train his clients just to max, but this is a result of the overall power and strength gains that were a result of his training techniques. If you are willing to do the work, JR will help you meet and exceed your goals! (By T.K.)

This wasn’t clean. It wasn’t polished. It was a dirty bulk—and it was exactly what I needed. I committed to the goal: 200 lbs or bust. No more playing small, no more overthinking. I ate, I trained, and I executed. The result? I crushed my old limits and packed on serious size—more muscle, more strength, and more momentum than I’ve ever had. I’m bigger, stronger, and finally exceeding the goals I used to think were ‘too aggressive.’ This phase taught me what it really means to go all-in. No tracking every crumb. No second-guessing. Just heavy lifts, high-calorie meals, and a mission to build. I’m not just chasing 200—I’m owning it. And the best part? I know exactly what to do next. If you're tired of spinning your wheels and ready to grow like a savage, stop holding back. Bulk like you mean it.
