Recap from the Ben Weider 🇺🇸
The NPC Ben Weider Natural Nationals is officially a wrap! Sarina and I didn’t bring home hardware this time, but we’re far from leaving empty-handed. We’re walking away with experience, humility, and even more respect for this sport—especially natural bodybuilding.
We both received great feedback from the head judge. I need to refine my posing and bring up a few body parts, and Sarina—who had her peak thrown off thanks to the polygraph BP cuff on her post-cancer side—just needs a few posing tweaks.
I came in with confidence and my best physique yet, but backstage reminded me how tough Masters 40+ really is. Incredible natural athletes from across the U.S. and around the world showed up. It was an honor to stand with them.
We finished just outside the medals, but this prep tested me physically, mentally, and emotionally—and I’m proud we pushed through. Now it’s time to recharge, reverse diet smart, focus on family, and grow into the offseason.
Huge thank you to our amazing supporters and coaches—Joe Klemczewski, Ivan Madarang, and Chase Bergner.
2026… Team Clearfield is coming in BIG. 💪🔥
