What WBFF PRO Lais Is Actually Using Every Day During Her 2,688-Hour Transformation

 

What Lais Is Actually Using Every Day During Her 2,688-Hour Transformation



Lais is currently in the beginning of something we call 2,688.

That number represents the 2,688 hours contained inside 16 weeks.

And that distinction matters.

Most transformation programs focus almost entirely on the hours someone spends training.

Maybe five or six hours per week.

But what about the other 160+ hours?

The meals.

The workdays.

The family responsibilities.

The restaurants.

The travel.

The sleep.

The stress.

The recovery.

The decisions made when nobody is watching.

Those hours are where the transformation actually happens.

That is the idea behind 2,688 — A 16-Week Body & Lifestyle Transformation.

And Lais is currently living it in real time while preparing for the WBFF stage.

This isn't about asking her to stop living for 16 weeks and become a full-time bodybuilder.

It is about building the preparation into her actual life.

LIVE YOUR LIFE. BE FIT.

So when we talk about what she is using during prep, I'm not interested in publishing some giant “competition supplement stack.”

I'm interested in showing you the small things that have become part of her normal 2,688 hours.

Right now, two of those are 1st Phorm Collagen and Primal Queen.

1. 1st Phorm Collagen With Dermaval

Collagen isn't something we suddenly introduced because Lais is preparing for a bodybuilding show.

That's important.

The 2,688 philosophy isn't based on creating an artificial life that somebody can tolerate for 16 weeks.

It's about identifying practices that can actually coexist with the person's real life.

The foundation is still food, training, recovery, hydration, sleep and consistency.

Collagen is simply one tool Lais has incorporated into that system.

The 1st Phorm Collagen with Dermaval formula contains five different collagen types — Types I, II, III, V and X — from several collagen sources.

Why does that interest us?

Because this preparation isn't only about what her muscles look like on December 5.

We're asking her body to train, recover and progressively adapt across 112 days.

Connective tissue, joints, tendons and overall recovery still matter.

We aren't pretending collagen creates the physique.

It doesn't.

It's one small piece of a much larger operating system.

What Lais uses:

2. Primal Queen

Primal Queen is probably the more unusual part of her routine.

It is a women's organ-based supplement containing bovine reproductive organs along with liver, kidney and heart.

Again, the question inside 2,688 is not:

“What can we add?”

The question is:

“What makes sense inside her actual life?”

Organ meats can be nutrient-dense foods.

Lais isn't realistically going to prepare and eat organ meat every day.

So this gives her a simple way to include an organ-based nutritional product inside a routine she can consistently follow.

That matters to me much more than having the most complicated supplement protocol possible.

What Lais uses:
Primal Queen

The Most Important Part of Her Supplement Stack Is What's NOT In It

You may notice this isn't a list of 17 products.

That's intentional.

Because one of the central ideas behind 2,688 is that transformation should not require someone to create an entirely different life for four months.

People often start a transformation and immediately add:

More cardio.

More supplements.

More restrictions.

More workouts.

More rules.

More sacrifice.

And eventually their entire life revolves around “being on a program.”

That's not what we're doing.

Over these 2,688 hours, we're continuously asking:

What does Lais actually need next?

Then we respond to the evidence.

Training can change.

Food can change.

Cardio can change.

Recovery can change.

Her daily routine can evolve.

But we're not trying to make Day 1 unnecessarily difficult just so it feels like prep.

The Body Is the Receipt

The products aren't the transformation.

The daily decisions are.

If Lais walks onto that stage with an extraordinary physique, you're seeing the receipt for thousands of decisions made during the previous 2,688 hours.

The workout mattered.

But so did what happened after the workout.

The meal mattered.

But so did what happened at the restaurant Saturday night.

The cardio mattered.

But so did sleep.

Family mattered.

Work mattered.

Stress mattered.

Recovery mattered.

Consistency mattered.

That's why 2,688 isn't simply another 16-week diet.

It is an attempt to create a visible physical transformation supported by a more capable lifestyle.

The body becomes proof that the system worked.

Why We're Documenting This One Differently

December 5 will be exciting.

There will be lights.

A stage.

Photos.

A finished physique.

But that's one evening.

The story we're interested in happens before that.

We're going to document what happens throughout the full 16 weeks:

The workouts.

The food.

The supplements.

The restaurants.

The celebrations.

The bad days.

The adjustments.

The recovery.

The progress.

And the decisions behind all of it.

Because the goal isn't simply to prove that Lais can get into competition shape.

We already know she can do that.

The question is whether we can show people a better model for what transformation can look like.

Not:

Put your life on hold and get fit.

But:

LIVE YOUR LIFE. BE FIT.

That is 2,688.

112 days.
2,688 hours.
One extraordinary transformation.

What's Actually in My BJJ Bag (And Why Hydration Isn't an Afterthought)

 Hello Everyone,

People assume the hardest part of training BJJ at 49 is the joints, the recovery, the getting-off-the-mat-without-groaning part.

It's not.

The hardest part is showing up prepared. Because if you roll dehydrated, everything else falls apart faster than it should — grip strength, decision-making, gas tank, temper. You gas out mentally before you gas out physically.

So here's what's actually in my bag before I walk into Vital Brothers.

The gi and the basics. Not going to bore you with that part.

Phormula-1 (Clear). This is the one people are always surprised by. Most protein shakes feel like a meal — heavy, thick, sitting in your stomach while you're trying to move. Clear Phormula-1 doesn't do that. It's built to drink like a refreshment, not a meal replacement, which matters when you're training in the middle of the day and can't afford to feel weighed down for the next round.

Phormula-1 Clear | Clear Protein Powder | 1st Phorm

Hydration Sticks. This is the piece most people skip entirely, and it's the one costing them the most. You're not just losing water when you roll — you're losing electrolytes and minerals, and water alone doesn't replace those. One stick, 16oz of water, done. I mix one before I get to the mat and keep a second in the bag for after.

Hydration Sticks | Mixable Hydration Packets | 1st Phorm



Here's the part that connects back to everything I coach: this isn't a "BJJ hack." It's the same principle behind 2688. The people who get the best results aren't doing more in the gym. They're managing the hours around it — what they eat, how they hydrate, how they recover — better than everyone else.

The training is 4 or 5 hours a week. The rest of the week is where it's actually decided.

LIVE YOUR LIFE. BE FIT.

Back to School = Back to YOU

 



Hello Everyone

Back to school.

Back to routines.

Back to schedules.

Back to packed lunches, practices, work, meetings, traffic, alarms, calendars...

Back to everything.

 

But maybe this is also the perfect time to get back to YOU.

 

Over the years, I’ve noticed something interesting:

We often get more traction during Back to School season than we do around New Year’s resolutions.

 

And I think I know why.

January is full of pressure.

New year.
New goals.
New promises.
New diet.
New workout plan.
New you.

 

But August?

August is different.

Summer is winding down.

The kids are going back to school.

Vacations are ending.

Schedules start becoming more predictable again.

 

And people start returning to their real lives.

 

That makes this one of the BEST times of the year to stop saying:

“I’ll start when things calm down.”

 

Because for a lot of people...

 

This IS when things start calming down.

Not perfectly.

Not completely.

But enough to create structure again.

 

And here’s the part I really want you to think about:

December 5th is 16 weeks away.

That’s exactly 2,688 hours.

 

Now...

 

Maybe stepping on a WBFF stage has absolutely ZERO interest to you.

That’s fine.

 

The stage is not the point.

But what would happen if you used those same 16 weeks to get ready for YOUR life?

 

Holiday parties.

Family pictures.

Christmas dinners.

New Year’s Eve.

That dress you want to wear.

That suit you want to feel good in.

 

Walking into a room and not immediately thinking about what you look like.

Having more energy.

Feeling stronger.

Being proud of what you’ve done instead of telling yourself...

“January 1st, I’m starting.”

 

Imagine getting to January 1st and realizing:

You already did it.

You already built momentum.

You already changed your habits.

You already got stronger.

You already feel better.

You’re not starting over.

You’re continuing.

 

That is exactly what 2688 is about.

Not putting your life on hold for 16 weeks.

Not living like a full-time bodybuilder.

Not skipping dinners, birthdays, celebrations or everything that makes life worth living.

 

It’s learning how to make fitness part of the life you already have.

Because fitness isn’t a phase.

It’s a lifestyle.

 

And once you accept that, you stop obsessing over how fast everything needs to happen.

 

So maybe “Back to School” doesn’t just mean back to the kids.

Maybe this year...

Back to School = Back to YOU.

 

You’ve got 16 weeks.

What could we do with them?

 

LIVE YOUR LIFE. BE FIT.

Have you eaten perfectly for weeks and the scale won't move?

 


 

Tuesday, July 28, 2026

Today, we start 2,688 hours.

Today marks the end of the first half of 2026.


Hello Everyone,

Today marks the end of the first half of 2026.

 

Six months are behind us.

 

Six months are still ahead.

 

Most people will spend today doing one of two things:

Celebrating what they accomplished.

Beating themselves up over what they didn't.

 

I don't think either one is particularly useful.

 

I think the better question is:

What does the scoreboard say?

 

The scoreboard doesn't care about motivation.

 

It doesn't care about intentions.

 

It doesn't care how many Mondays you planned to start.

 

It only reflects what actually happened.

 

Your strength.
Your habits.
Your health.
Your finances.
Your relationships.
Your character.

 

That's why I often say:

The body is the receipt.

 

Not because your body defines your worth but because it records your behaviors better than your memory ever will.

 

The good news?

The scoreboard isn't permanent.

 

Today's score simply tells you where you stand before the second half begins.

 

There are still 184 days left this year.

That's enough time to:

Lose the weight.
Build the strength.
Repair relationships.
Start the business.
Read the books.
Learn the skill.
Become someone your January self wouldn't recognize.

 

You don't need six perfect months.

 

You need one decision, followed by another tomorrow, and another after that.

 

Small actions become undeniable proof.


My Youtube series 50 Weeks to 50  "Becoming Undeniable is exactly about that, using 50 weeks until this milestone and sharing the process.

 

In it, I explain why I'm publicly documenting my own journey toward becoming undeniable by my 50th birthday and why I believe we all need a better scoreboard than simply looking at a number on the scale.

 

If you haven't watched it yet, you can click here for episode 1

And subscribe to my channel because episode 2 drops tonight.

 


As you head into the second half of 2026, ask yourself one question:

If someone only saw my actions for the next 184 days, who would they conclude I'm becoming?

 

That's the person you're actually building.

 

Let's make the second half count.
