Refined Physiques

When Alex and I started working together, he wasn’t someone who slacked off.

On the contrary — he worked hard, pushed himself, and left everything on the gym floor.

But hard work without direction? That only gives you one thing: stagnation, frustration, and the feeling that “you’re just not good enough.”

And Alex had no idea that having a coach could change everything… until he tried it.

 

So what did we change?

1. We gave his training a full, proper purpose

2. We created a meal plan with his favourite foods

3. We finally put the word recovery into the right context

 

And then we started building from the ground up.

 

We gave his training a clear direction — no random workouts, but a thoughtful plan for gaining muscle and strength.

We set up a meal plan that works without unnecessary restrictions, so Alex could still enjoy his favourite foods.

And most importantly, we taught him to listen to his body, recover properly, and move forward instead of backward.

 

But the most important thing?

Communication.

Alex sends me regular reviews of his days and weeks.

We openly talked through insecurities, fears, and also wins.

And it was exactly because of this that he started to grow — physically and mentally.

Step by step, Alex became a man who doesn’t just want to survive…
He wants to grow, push his limits, and become the best version of himself.

And the results?
They didn’t come because of genetics.
They didn’t come because of talent.
They came because he started trusting the plan — and most importantly, himself.

And that is the biggest victory.
And you know what? If Alex could do it, so can you!!

When Lukáš and I started working together, he was going to the gym 6 times a week, working like a beast, but the results weren't coming as fast as he wanted.

You're asking, what did we change?

Let's fast forward 6 months into the future. The difference and Lukáš's progress is incredible. (you can check out my Instagram profile and see what a journey we've walked together so far).

Luky's problem wasn't that he didn't try hard enough. Quite the opposite. He was leaving his heart in the gym.. BUT...

What was a problem for Lukáš:
1. Properly structuring training, its volume and intensity
2. Setting up a meal plan that he would want to follow and that would bring him the desired results
3. Resting, Communicating

Together, we implemented everything mentioned above. We gave his TRAINING meaning, we learned to use his ability to grind, together with performing exercises effectively for muscle growth and fat loss.

We set up his MEAL PLANs o that he looked forward to every meal, and Luke ate primarily his favorite foods.

We also taught Lukáš to REST, and take time off from training. For a large part of our collaboration, Lukáš trained only 4/5 times a week.

We also had to work on COMMUNICATION, he gave me evaluations of his day, week, and together we found the right solutions that finally moved him to a new level.

From the beginning, I knew that if I was going into this, I wanted to do everything to the fullest. Consistency, discipline, and trust in the process were the foundation of the entire collaboration.

 

The goal was clear – to become an IFBB Pro. At every step, we worked systematically and without unnecessary shortcuts, which paid off. Already in our first competitive season, we managed to achieve this goal.

 

However, I see getting the Pro card as just the beginning. Now we have space to continue working, improve details, and prepare for the next step.

 

We are planning for the pro debut in late 2026, approaching it with calm, a clear structure, and a long-term vision.

When we started working with Karel, I wasn't in shape and knew I had significant room for improvement.

Gradually, we implemented a system and reached the point where I won my class at an NPC show.

Our goal is clear: to improve my upper body and move step by step toward the Pro Card. We are on a mission.

When I look at the before and after photos, it’s not just about the change in physique. I had trained before, but I lacked direction, structure, and calmness in the process.

Thanks to a systematic approach and long-term consistency, I achieved the shape that won me the competition. It wasn't about shortcuts or extremes, but about a correctly set plan and trust in the process.

The difference is visible – and most importantly, felt.

For a long time, I lacked confidence and always chose the wrong coach. Only here did things finally start to make sense, and I felt like someone was truly guiding me.

I made huge progress, won my natural competition, and most importantly, started believing in myself more – not just on stage.

This approach gives me the certainty that I am moving in the right direction. And honestly? I can't imagine it without him anymore. I am continuing with the collaboration.

When I started the collaboration, I wanted one thing. And that was to get to the competition in the best possible shape I've ever had. And that was achieved!

The condition I brought to the stage wasn't about extremes. It was about the system, timing, and control over the entire process.

After the competition, we didn't switch to a 'let's see what happens' mode, but immediately transitioned into a structured gaining phase, where we constantly address performance and recovery above all. Karel's approach gives me the certainty that I am progressing consistently and for the long term.

My goal is to win a natural competition and show that peak condition can be achieved naturally. I am now starting prep for my first show in April, and we are approaching it systematically from day one.

I trust the process and believe that when things are done correctly, results will come. It’s going to be a ride, and I look forward to seeing where this path takes me.

After eight months of collaboration, I can definitely confirm that I have made incredible progress, not only visually but also in personal development. I enjoy the whole process and the present moment much more, and I can find joy in small steps forward. This wasn't the case before.

What I value greatly about Karel is his professionalism, his helping hand during various obstacles, his responsiveness, and his personal approach. I have the impression that everything we do makes sense and happens for a reason.

I believe that we will experience many great moments together that we will gladly look back on in the future.

The difference is really extreme. When I look back at it, I was quite a big guy .

All the more I realize today what a well-done job it was from Karel's side.

Honestly – every time I talk to someone about how and how much I lost weight, I just praise Karel and give him super references. The results speak for themselves.

 

I am grateful to be a part of this team. I have met so many great and talented people here with the same goals and values, who are an inspiration to me and have gradually become a second family.

I feel like I truly belong somewhere. Without Karel and his guidance, I don't think any of us would be where we are today.

I look forward to everything that lies ahead.

At the beginning, I wasn't very fit and didn't believe in myself. I knew I wanted to change something, but I always lacked direction and the certainty that I was doing it right.

With Karel, I gained a lot of mass, improved my physique, and most importantly, my approach to myself.

The biggest impact of the collaboration wasn't physical. I regained my confidence and can finally move forward.

 

When we started the collaboration, I wasn’t in a good situation – neither health-wise nor physically. The priority was to put things in order and rebuild solid foundations.

In a short time, we managed to improve my health and make visible progress at the same time. Everything has a clear direction and makes sense step by step.

We are targeting competitions only at the end of 2026. For now, we have work ahead of us and are focusing on what’s essential – long-term progress and stability.

As a diabetic, I had a lot of doubts, but gradually we gave things a clear system.

Not only did my physique change significantly, but my blood test results also improved, which was crucial for me. The guidance gave me the certainty that we are doing everything smartly and sustainably for the long term.

That’s exactly why I decided to continue and prepaid for the collaboration for 12 months straight. I recommend working with Karel to everyone who is considering it.
