Marco Velazquez
I grew up in East L.A. lifting in my uncle's garage at fifteen. I did my first show at 22 and crashed and burned. By my late twenties I was competing twice a year. I earned my IFBB Pro card in Men's Physique in 2018.
I work with natural and enhanced competitors. I do not write protocols for substances I do not understand. What I do is structure — training, nutrition, peak week, the head game. The rest is between you and your healthcare provider.
Three competitors I work with most.
Recognize yourself in one of these? We should talk.
The first-time competitor.
You've trained for years and you're ready to step on a stage. You want a coach who's done it — and who won't make you regret your first prep.
The returning competitor.
You've placed before. You know what you don't want — coach drama, bro-science, generic plans. You want a real one this time.
The off-season builder.
Not competing this year. Building. You want real, usable size going into next prep — without burying yourself in body fat to get it.
Not sure which?

Three ways to work together.
Year-round building, full prep into a show, or a one-time peak week consult.
Year-round building. Training, nutrition, recovery, the whole arc.
16- to 20-week prep into your show. Training, peak week, posing, the whole nine yards.
One-time consult, six days out from stage. For competitors with their own coach.
Real competitors. Real placings.
No fillers. Discipline, structure, and the right plan for the season.
My first show was a disaster waiting to happen until I switched to Marco. He pulled me back from a too-aggressive cut, brought me in dry, and I won my class. I'm never working with anyone else.
