November 29, 2023 Unlock Your Full Potential: Transform Your Metabolism for Optimal Prep Results
Justin was bit by the bodybuilding bug at the age of 20 when he was still playing Collegiate Football. Since those dorm room days, Justin’s passion for the sport and lifestyle has just continued to grow. He challenges himself every day to improve not only as a competitive bodybuilder himself but as a teacher and coach. He sets both short term and long term goals for himself and his clients so that they can always track their progress and ensure they are improving. What it boils down to is, Justin has just begun to tap into what he is truly capable of and continues to grow as an athlete and coach.
Justin grew up playing the big three, football, baseball, and basketball in Upstate NY. This is where Justin first began utilizing the weight room as a tool to improve on the field. It was early on when he realized that training was his true passion, even more so than being on the field. After walking away from college football a few years early to pursue bodybuilding full time, Justin jumped in headfirst and participated in his first NPC contest a few months later at the age of 21. Low and behold he would end up walking away with 3 first place trophies that day and the rest is history. To date; Justin has competed 6 times, most notably placing 2nd in Lightweight at the 2016 NPC North Americans, winning the 2019 NPC Georgia State LHW and Overall title, and placing 3rd in middleweight at the 2019 NPC USA Championships. Justin won the middleweight class at 2021 NPC Nationals and is continually building his coaching career! You can find Justin on instagram @j_jacoby or at www.thecampjansen.com
