American Bodybuilder

Wes Richardson

I’m on a relentless mission to live an awesome, kick-ass life- pushing every limit, dominating every challenge, and forging a physique of flawless aesthetics through bodybuilding while sharpening my strength, speed, and discipline in mixed martial arts. This isn’t just about physical mastery; it’s about developing a fierce mind, an unstoppable spirit, and becoming the ultimate version of myself.

My commitment is to holistic growth, where every aspect of who I am is constantly evolving. From the gym to my mindset, I’m aligning my body, mind, and soul to achieve peak performance while maintaining balance and harmony with my inner self and the natural world around me. In the pursuit of my goals, anything less than excellence is not an option.

I am based in Santa Monica, California. I provide personal training to clients locally as well as online across the US, Canada, and Europe. Book A Session.

The Warrior Mindset: Principles and Traits That Forge My Path

The principles that define me- strength, purpose, and honor- are the bedrock of my existence.

The Core of My Fitness Approach

My fitness philosophy goes far beyond physical strength- it’s about mastering the synergy of mind, body, and spirit to forge ironclad resilience and holistic well-being. The demands of corporate life and personal upheaval pulled me away from training for a few years, causing priorities to shift- and looking back, I paid the price. I let my physique deteriorate. Back in the early 2000s, I was a force- 230 lbs of raw power carved with a 52-inch chest, 19.5-inch arms, and 30-inch quads. Now, fueled by hardcore training and dialed-in nutrition, my physique is rapidly reclaiming its former greatness. But, I refuse to settle. Every rep, every strike, and every movement is a declaration of war on complacency, mediocrity, and everything I sidelined- driving my relentless pursuit not just to match my past, but to obliterate it. When I’m not pumping iron, I train in Kajukenbo, Aam-Ka-Jutsu, Boxing, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Each discipline plays a role in my resurgence, proving that while life may pull you away, the warrior within always finds a way back, stronger and more determined than ever!
