MATTER ATHLETICA IS ABOUT MORE THAN JUST MUSCLE WHEN IT COMES TO PREP.





How it works
The scorecard is designed to take you through a series of scored questions. At the end, you will be provided an overview of areas for improvement and your overall analysis.

Matter Athletica takes the sport of bodybuilding very seriously; our approach ensures that prep and the pursuit of body composition complement your life, goals, and self-identity. It requires both mental and physical development and refinement across the duration of prep.
For many first-timers wanting to bodybuild and enter this sport, this is often an afterthought when it is actually part of the foundation. We conduct this assessment with all of our clients, and if you are interested in seeing where you stack up before you compete, take the scorecard below.

The Matter Method
Our method of approach was discussed with one of the best in the industry, Dave Tate, on the Table Talk Podcast. Ben Mayfield-Smith, our CEO & Head Coach of Matter Athletica, delved deep into how important athlete psychology is for performance and outcomes across all domains in their life. If you are going into prep blind, not knowing "why" you really want to pursue the challenge, you will leave, once the lights go out on stage, feeling very lost.

I've found it hard to put into words how grateful I am to have Ben as my coach. I have been apart of the matter community for almost 12 months, and I have become a much better version of myself. Initially, my focus was on physique improvement and working towards competing in a bodybuilding competition, but what I have received from this community is so much more. Ben's approach to coaching is unlike any I have encountered before. It's not often that you find a coach who is so passionate about their craft and someone who is willing to go above and beyond for their clients.
Ben focuses on your growth as an individual across all areas of life, especially your psychological and emotional well-being. As someone who has suffered from an eating disorder and body dysmorphia, Ben's unique approach to coaching has helped me to identify previous triggers and develop healthy strategies to mitigate my stress. If you are looking to become the best version of yourself, then Ben and the Matter community should be the first place you look. I could not recommend him more highly.
