Men's physique competition results: Snap Fitness Trainers

Randy Fobbs placed in the top 10 at the men's physique competition! He came in 8th place and has informed us that he is planning to take part in another competition in November of this year. I watched him train and he trained hard for this. Watch out world, Randy is at it again!

Snap Fitness is proud of you, Randy! Keep up all of the hard work.


The NPC has two different divisions for each competition. They have a novice division for those who have never competed with them before and they have the actual competition (physique open) that everyone is part of.


Stedman Greggs placed 2nd place in the novice division! He also placed 2nd place in the physique open! Because he placed 2nd in the open, he is now qualified for the Nationals! Stedman is planning to compete in the Charlotte Cup on April 23rd of this year! Let's go Stedman!

Bring in another win for us, Stedman! Snap Fitness is proud of you!

Stedman Greggs: Interview and photos: Snap Fitness Personal Trainer

Stedman Greggs is another one of our amazing personal trainers who will be competing in the Mens Physique Show on Saturday, April 9th!

Speaking with Stedman is always fun, so I enjoyed our interviews as he worked out at our Snap Fitness facility!

How long have you been competing in physique competitions?

"This is my first show!"
How long have you been training for it?
"I have been in training since January, 1st of this year."
Can you tell me what you are doing to train?
"I have been doing compound lifts and extension sets. Compound lifts are exercises using more than one muscle at a time. Extension sets are back to back exercises that work the same body parts. As far as nutrition, I count carbs, proteins and fats. I also do a carb cycle which means that I adjust my carbohydrate intake each day to assure that it matches up with the particular training I do that day."
What is your competition goal?
"To win! (laughs) Really, to make friends, co-workers and family proud and making sure God gets glorification!"


At the end of the interview, I asked Stedman if he had anything he would like to add...
"Thank you to my Snap Fitness family for support, encouragement and prayers. Thank you to Deanna, my myofascial release specialist!"

Interview (and photos) with Randy Fobbs: Personal trainer at Snap Fitness North Raleigh

Randy has been competing physique competitions for three years. This is his second competition and after his first, he placed second out of twenty contestants.

I interviewed Randy to see what motivates him to compete in the physique competitions and here is what I found out:

Why do you take part in physique competitions?

“It is a great way to stay in shape”
How long does it take to train for a competition?
“12 to 16 weeks. More towards 16 weeks.”
What and how do you eat while you are training?
“I eat 6 small meals per day which equals to about 2200 calories a day.”
How do you train?
“I lift using high reps and moderate weight.”
What is your goal when you are training for a competition?
“Low body fat. I started at 16% and now I am down to between 3% and 5% for the show.”
Who will be there to support you and cheer you on at the show?
“My wife, mom and sister.”
Do you have anything you would like to say?
“Just ready for it!”

I conducted this interview as Randy was speed walking on the treadmill. At this point, he is maintaining his weight and muscle mass as he awaits the show.
