REBECCA NORMAN
Rebecca joined the team four weeks before she was due to start prep for the upcoming 2026 Scottish bodybuilding season. She originally reached out because she wanted an experienced coach to take her through the process and so we got to work.
Although we didn’t have much time to get to know her body, the prep moved seamlessly and before we knew it we were in a rhythm of five low days, three high days. Every time those high days would roll around she would look leaner and harder. Around the 6 week out mark, we made the executive decision that the PCA trained bikini class would be where she was best suited.
That being said, she had already signed up to federations that only had open bikini, therefore when the time rolled around to do those shows we simply manipulated the peak, brought her in a touch softer and that look was rewarded accordingly. The week after we fed her less, brought her in harder and that look was rewarded accordingly. Each peak was slightly different to suit the chosen federations desired look and it was so much fun seeing her smash it week in, week out.
Fives shows in five weeks, never out the top 2. That’s one hell of a first season and I was so proud to be part of it all. The exciting thing is, this girl is only getting started and I cannot wait to see what the future has in store.
Across her first season Rebecca collected:
3 x 1st
4 x 2nd
1 x UKUP Pro card
Here is what Rebecca had to say about her journey:
“I only signed up with Vaughan a few weeks before my prep for my first competitive season was due to start and I can honestly say it was the best decision I made.
As a first timer, I was apprehensive and I wanted a coach who had the knowledge and experience to guide me through it with as little stress as possible. Vaughan did this, and more. Every decision he made was explained and communicated clearly in advance so I always knew what to expect and why we were doing it. He never made me feel like I was bothering him with questions and was there with multiple voice notes, pep talks and messages for support on the days I found hard and doubted myself.
When you sign up to his coaching you become part of the team and the way he creates a team spirit makes you feel like you’re going through comps with a wee family!
Show days can be stressful but Vaughan is calm and always on hand. He’s the first at the venue and the last to leave so you’re never alone. Each show I went into I knew exactly what I was doing and Vaughan checked in with me and the rest of the team multiple times to make sure we were doing okay. Regardless of the result, he’s right there with you as soon as you come off stage offering support and a pick me up or a celebratory cuddle. Your goals matter to Vaughan just as much as they do to you.
I’d highly recommend Vaughan to anyone looking to step on stage. I wouldn’t have had the success I’ve had this season without him and I can’t wait to see what else we can achieve together in the future.”
