Hey there, I'm Tarran Lee!
I'm an online coach and bodybuilder who's been involved in the fitness industry as a Personal Trainer for over 15 years.
My personal ethos is strong body equals strong mind. I have a successful online coaching business where I am passionate about inspiring and educating everyday humans and particularly the LGBTIQ community, through positive body image and confidence through that strength.
My bodybuilding competing career started after I was 30, becoming ICN Pro in my first year and winning ICN Pro World Fitness Champion in 2019. My next goal is WBFF Pro, I have come second in my Gold Coast and Sydney shows and am looking forward to being bigger and better to become Pro next.

My Bulk Recommendations
I've been a fanatical Bulk Nutrients customer for almost 10 years before proudly becoming an ambassador in 2020. I love their products and I hope you love my recommendations too!
Protein Matrix+
Why I love it: I love the creamy texture that mixes well on just water or in a smoothie. The nutritional profile is perfect for my needs regularly and the price is amazing.
How I use it: How don't I?! 🤣 With ice and water, in a fruit smoothie and I even cook with it!
Pre Workout 101
Why I love it: I don't drink coffee so this is an epic product for me. No crash, no negative effects, tastes amazing - I love it!
How I use it: Just with water on my way to gym - it's a ritual
Creatine Monohydrate
Why I love it: Bulk's Creatine Monohydrate is a great price, the quality is superb and it's a supplement I never forgot to take.
How I use it: In my protein shake or with my BCAAs.
Training Schedule
I hate cardio 😜
Daily I like to hit 8-12k steps, depending on where I am at with my bodybuilding seasons.
I train 5 days a week with weights and my current program is...
- 2 upper days
- 2 lower body days
- 1 full body day
It's a hypertrophy based program (this one has lots of reps!)
My aim right now is lots of volume to build some hardcore muscle for my next show.
My programs/exercises vary depending on my training phase. Sometimes I have done powerlifting style training - more strength based and have actually done a few powerlifting comps!
I train because it makes me feel good. I am more energetic when I train and I approach each session with the mindset to be better every single time.
My Nutrition
I love flexible dieting - as a bodybuilder who tracks food almost year round, flexible dieting gives me the ability to have lots of balance.
I am a meal prepper who always preps on the weekend - my freezer is full!
But chocolate is a must in my day 🍫
My favourite food is mexican (with a margarita 😜) and I hate cheese.
Is there a type/style of diet you follow? High Protein
What's your average daily calorie intake? Currently 2700
Are there foods you avoid? Why? Cheese - cos it's yuk
Are there foods you crave? All of them haha I have a great appetite.
What's your go-to cheat meal and why? Mexican - because I'll have a margarita 🍹
A day on my plate

Intra Workout: BCAA Recovery
Breakfast: Usually a rice meal with veggies and protein (yes I eat rice for breakfast!)
Morning tea: Protein Smoothie with Protein Matrix+ and fruit (banana and berries)
Lunch: A protein and carb based meal - depending on what I've prepped. Could be a chicken pasta, chicken sandwich, mince and another type of rice etc.
