Bodybuilding is not just building muscle — it is building specific muscle, on purpose, in proportion. That is what separates Maddy's bodybuilding coaching from a general size programme. It starts with an honest physique assessment from your check-in photos and training history: which muscle groups are ahead, which lag, and what the last year of training actually stimulated. The split is then designed around your weak points — extra volume and better exercise selection where you need it, maintenance where you are already strong. Execution gets coached hard, because bodybuilding is won in how a rep is performed: controlled negatives, full ranges, and load selection that keeps tension on the target muscle instead of feeding your ego. Nutrition runs in deliberate phases — building blocks and controlled cut-backs — so the year has a shape. Check-ins compare photos, logs, and weight trend, and the next block is written from what the evidence says grew.

The method — how Maddy coaches this
- Physique assessment first: photos and training history identify which muscle groups lead and which lag.
- Splits designed around weak points — targeted volume where you need it, maintenance where you do not.
- Rep execution coached deliberately: controlled negatives, full ranges, tension kept on the target muscle.
- Nutrition run in phases — building blocks and controlled cut-backs — so the year has a shape.
- Photos, logs, and weight trend compared at every check-in; the next block is written from what grew.
Who this is for:
- Lifters past the beginner stage who want a physique built deliberately, not just a bigger total.
- Gym veterans whose chest-and-arms enthusiasm has left the rest of the physique a decade behind.

Common questions
How is this different from a normal muscle-gain plan?
A muscle-gain plan grows the whole system; bodybuilding coaching decides where. Your programme biases volume and exercise selection toward lagging muscle groups and manages the ones already ahead — the goal is proportion, which generic programmes do not even measure.
Do I need to want to compete for this to make sense?
No. Most bodybuilding clients never step on stage — they simply want to look like they lift, everywhere, evenly. The methods are the same; the stage is optional. If you do want to compete, that becomes a separate, more demanding conversation.
How do you actually bring up a lagging body part?
Three levers, pulled in order: more direct weekly sets for that muscle, exercises chosen and executed so it does the work, and placement early in sessions when you are fresh. Progress is judged from photos and logs over the block — not from how sore it gets.
