CJ O'Shea: For himself. For his daughter. For his story.

Who is CJ O’Shea

Some people train for a year. Some for a few.

CJ O’Shea has been doing it for nearly 20 years.

Originally from Dublin, now based in Wrexham, CJ has spent two decades inside the gym — building discipline, resilience, and a mindset rooted in consistency. After years of graft, he’s finally decided it’s time to take on a new challenge.

CJ is stepping on stage for the first time, competing in the PCA Men’s Physique First Timer category. The venue hasn’t been announced yet, but his focus is already locked in.

Why he’s Doing This

This isn’t about attention.

CJ is doing this to prove something to himself — that after two decades of work, he can step onto a completely new stage and earn his place.

And just as importantly, he’s doing it for his daughter.

To show her what effort looks like. What commitment looks like. What happens when you chase something with everything you’ve got.

This journey is personal. This journey has meaning. This journey is his.

Why CJ fits MountForce

MountForce stands for discipline, identity, and a relentless drive to improve, that’s CJ.

He doesn’t just train hard — he trains with intention. He lives the message we stand behind: progress isn’t handed to you. It’s earned.

CJ embodies the mindset, the grit, and the purpose that define MountForce.

What’s Next

The prep continues. The date will come. And when CJ steps on that PCA stage, it won’t be luck that got him there.

It’ll be twenty years of repetition, resilience, and real work.

This is just the beginning of his story — and we’re proud to support him as he writes the next chapter.
