About me
Who Am I?
Hi there! I’m Charly Joung, the proud owner of ASCND Coaching.
Let me share a bit about my fitness journey—a path that transformed me from the underdog to an Elite Powerlifter and IFBB Pro Bodybuilder.
As a child, I wasn't blessed with natural talents or abilities, and always found myself at the bottom of the pecking order and constantly bullied.
The teasing caused me to struggle with my confidence and eventually led to emotional eating and a bit of chubbiness during puberty.
Around the age of 12, I decided that I wanted to change. So I asked my parents for a set of weights, and I immersed myself in bodybuilding magazines and online forums, absorbing every piece of information available.
At first, the vast of information was daunting but welcomed as I didn’t know where to start. And over the decades, I’ve tried every single diet and training method under the sun.
Only in hindsight did I realize that while there was some great information out there, the amount of misinformation and “gurus” was overwhelming.
While I don't dwell on regrets, I can't help but think about the progress I could have made without the unnecessary detours.
Now, two decades later, having achieved Elite Powerlifter status and IFBB Pro bodybuilder recognition, my mission is clear.
I aim to distill over two decades of experience and evidence-based knowledge into personalized, streamlined roadmaps to success. My goal is to guide individuals tired of fruitless efforts through the maze of information, helping them sidestep the noise and finally witness tangible results.
In a digital landscape flooded with information (a mixed bag of valuable insights and misleading advice), my goal is to assist busy individuals in maximizing their efforts and time investment.
I'm not here to peddle magic pills; the journey ahead will be challenging, but looking back 5-10 years from now, you'll appreciate the time, energy, and money saved by avoiding the pitfalls of online fitness trends and gurus.
Time is a precious resource. Allow me to be your guide, helping you stop the cycle of wasted efforts and steering you toward realizing your full potential. Let's embark on this transformative journey together.
