GBA founder Adams says 'prep shouldn't change anything' as he heads for Vegas show

Physique coach Matt enters last three weeks ahead of NPC Legends Classic – all while running his new federation

THE founder of the Global Bodybuilding Alliance federation says he will be stepping on stage at the NPC Legends Classic in Las Vegas in just three weeks' time.

Matt Adams, also known to many as the Physique Coach, announced on instagram earlier today, Tuesday, January 24, that he has been in prep for the American show for the past few weeks.

Adams is also expecting to announce some big news involving his new federation, the GBA, in the coming days but believes his work for the coming season has not been affected by his drive to compete.

He told frontdouble.com: "It's business as usual. Being in prep shouldn’t change the status quo if you manage it properly. People over dramatise it.

"It’s not having any impact on me organising a federation or seeing to my clients. Like I said in my post, most people wouldn’t even know I’m on prep."

Adams, who will be in the Over 50s class at the Legends Classic, last competed in Thailand in December, securing second place in the Masters Over 50s at the PCA Gorilla Classic, having also competed at the NPC European Masters in Milan, Italy in November.

He added: "Don’t get me wrong, there will be times when it [prep] is challenging, But if you manage sleep properly, give yourself enough duration, so it’s not as harsh, then it becomes more routine.

"The goal is just love of the sport and competing somewhere different really. This isn’t a pro qualifier show. I’ll aim for a pro qualifier again in 2025.

"When I last competed in Thailand in December, I knew I could do more, so I put this one in the calendar before I go on a growth phase."
