What Is It

Peak When
It Counts Most.

TOG Competition Prep is a dedicated peaking program for athletes preparing for powerlifting meets, physique competitions, or sport-specific performance tests. Built on periodization science and real competitive experience, every prep cycle is designed to have you at your absolute best on competition day.
The difference between a good competitor and a great one is the quality of their preparation. Coach DeShawn has taken athletes through full prep cycles across multiple disciplines and knows exactly how to peak performance without burning out before the stage or platform.
16-Week Prep Structure

Wk 5–10

Accumulation

Progressive volume increase across primary and secondary competition lifts or physique muscle groups.

Wk 11–14

Intensification

Volume reduces, intensity increases. Weights approach competition maxes. Neural adaptation maximized.

Wk 16

Competition

Coach support through warm-up protocol, attempt selection, and post-competition recovery plan initiation.

Why It Works

The Science Behind The Results

Periodized Peaking

Every prep cycle follows proven periodization principles — volume, intensity, and specificity phases that build to an exact peak on your competition date.

Competition-Specific Coaching

Programming is built around the specific demands of your discipline — powerlifting, bodybuilding, or athletic performance — not generic fitness.

Peak Week Protocol

The final week before competition is where most athletes fail or succeed. Our evidence-based peak week protocol maximizes performance and presentation on the day.

Coach Support On The Da

TOG coaches are available for competition-day support — warm-up protocols, attempt selection, and real-time coaching through every attempt

Who It's For

This Class Is For You.

No gatekeeping. TOG programs are for anyone willing to put in the work — from first-timers to competitive athletes.
Are competing for the first time and need expert guidance

Competing without a structured prep is like showing up to a final exam without studying. We eliminate that risk.

Are an experienced competitor who has plateaued

If you've been competing but not improving, your programming or peaking strategy needs to evolve. Let us rebuild it.

Have a competition date and need a precise countdown

We build backwards from your competition date to create a periodized schedule that peaks you on the day — not the week before or after.

Want to compete in powerlifting, physique, or athletics

Our three prep tracks cover all major competition disciplines with sport-specific methodology.

Take competition seriously and want a serious coach

If you're going to get on the platform or the stage, you deserve preparation that matches your commitment.
