Fitocracy Team Fitness Group - First-Place Physiques

So you may have already seen, the awesome people at Fitocracy got in touch with me and asked me if I'd like to lead a new Team Fitness Group on Fito!

How could I say no!!??

First-place Physiques is a group where you can join up and get the great environment of Fitocracy, all the benefits of Hero and heaps of additional support from your Teammates and I!

This group is a place to set and share your goals, get support and the motivation you need to achieve them! Whether you're looking to compete in bodybuilding, powerlifting,  or any other sport, or you just want an awesome body to show off on the beach this summer, there is a place for you in this group!

So to tell you a little more about it, I made a wee video!


Brian Wang (Xenowang) CEO of Fitocracy had this to say about the new Team Fitness Groups

"Team Fitness groups have a different focus compared to regular Fito groups. Team Fitness groups are specifically about motivation and guidance. They offer a leader/coach (in this case, AJV) who is dedicated to keeping you motivated and helping you succeed. Members lean on the leader to answer questions and support them while the leader makes sure to monitor members, keep them engaged, and share their own experiences and advice. 

"The groups that xoxAJVxox, roryn, and exyxe don't offer specific training programs, but that's also why these are just $15/month. 

Why is it a paid membership? Because these coaches are dedicating their time to you and it's important that members are just as committed as the coaches. Plus, membership automatically makes you a Hero as well. And you can cancel any time, of course. "


I am so pumped to be a part of this, as well as training hard myself I love being able to motivate other people. All your stories of how awesome you're doing in your own fitness goals makes sharing my journey so much more important to me! I couldn't be doing all this without the supportive environment my friends create for me, so I want to give back and do the same for other people!

As far as my own training is concerned, I've had a good hard week, trying to push myself a little further, to lift more and try and make some more gains. I feel the extra cals have been helping fill my muscles out more...even if I'm not feeling quite as lean.

 I went to a party last night and a friend of a friend blurted out she was sorry if it was inappropriate, but I had the most incredible ass lol! It was hilarious, made my day and I know I'll be smiling through at least the first 5 minutes of my leg training today!

31 May is 16 weeks out from competition, and this is the date I'll be starting my cut and show prep, so I want to have a really solid foundation before then, and gain as much muscle as possible without gaining too much body fat.

I'm still practicing my posing and I'm figuring out the areas that are going to be a lot harder for me. I really need more flexibility and to dedicate a little more time to stretching.

I'm still studying through all this and have my first test on 15 April and so I have started putting together all my notes for this. Studying, working full time and training is a lot, but I'm managing well so far!

I've got some other stuff in the pipelines that I'll let you guys know about as soon as it happens, but for now there's so much exciting stuff going on that I've got plenty to work on!
