The bestseller PDF — now in audio. The same nutrition system Shawn Ray ran through twelve consecutive Mr. Olympia top-five finishes. Five parts, nineteen chapters covering offseason and pre-contest control, calories and macros, the 35+ upgrades most diet books skip, meal templates for cut and lean gain, and the supplements actually worth your money. Built on three decades of trial and error at the highest level. Listen on the drive, at the gym, on the walk.

What is BuildWithPros?
BuildWithPros is the official store of IFBB Hall of Famer Shawn Ray, a 13-time Mr. Olympia competitor with 12 consecutive top-five finishes from 1990 to 2001 and 1991 Arnold Classic champion, and the education platform where his teachings are published. The education catalog is one structured learning system: audiobooks, video master classes, PDF guides, curated bundles, and one-on-one Pro-Level Coaching. The store also carries official Shawn Ray merch and the Shawn Ray Supplement Series. Each education format covers a different part of the same method, and the full catalog is organized by goal into the learning tracks on the BuildWithPros Education page.
Every title is built on real career experience from three decades of competitive bodybuilding, not theory and not motivational hype. BuildWithPros is the judgment layer that works alongside whatever daily programming a lifter already runs: it teaches the decisions behind training, nutrition, and recovery rather than replacing a coach or a tracking app. Every method is explained, with the reasoning behind it. Nothing is left to guesswork.
What does BuildWithPros teach?
Nutrition is the largest category in the catalog: structured bodybuilding nutrition for offseason and pre-contest, bodybuilding nutrition for women built around a protein-first approach, sustainable fat loss, supplements that actually work, insulin sensitivity after 35, training and eating on GLP-1 medication, and natural testosterone optimization. The training side covers program design, plateaus, mind-muscle connection, rest and recovery, goal setting, and mental resilience through the seven video master classes and the audiobook catalog. The method is classic bodybuilding from the Olympia stage, applied to how lifters train, eat, and recover today.

Who is BuildWithPros for?
The catalog is written for serious lifters with two or more years of consistent training: men and women, natural bodybuilders, enhanced athletes, competitors, health-first athletes, and lifters over 35 navigating the metabolic and hormonal shifts that change how training and nutrition work. Practical titles on sleep, stress, and weight-loss support are written for any adult managing recovery alongside a demanding schedule. Lifters still learning basic compound movements should build that foundation first.
