show time!!!

Just got back from weigh ins and things are going great. weighed in at 223 and everyone that saw me last week said I look weigh better this week! Thqats what I said I would do and I did it. I have a final spray tan at 2, competitor meeting at 3, and pre judge starts at 4:30. Cant wait to go get it on. I am amped up! This is my destiny! Love you all!

1 day before Nationals

Well, I managed to get to a computer after all. Flew in yesterday around 5. Very smooth flight. finished my meals and had my buddy Kris Lecomte help me get the remainder of last weeks tan off and a new coat on. Passed out and I'm back to the carb up today. Today I also have two spray tan sessions. I will not be weighing in tonight. All though my weight this am was 223.8 by the time the weigh in starts tonight around 8 I will be too heavy. So I will do the late weigh in tomorrow at 9 am. Everything is going very smooth and I am just sticking with the game plan. I have so many people to thank when this is all over. None of you will be left out!

Off tho Nationals!!!

Off to nationals to battle for the championship. I am going to be way better than I was at Easterns. Body weight this am was 222.2 which is very lite for me, and I am extremely flat! That's what I wanted though! Now I can take a very similar aggressive carb up approach like I did last week and really fill my muscles up!! I am so excited to get out there and battle! Keep sending me your positive energy! I am feeding off it! Talk to you all when I get back!

Last gym day before Nats!

Morning body weight is 225.4 which is 1.5lbs lighter than I was at this point last week and I definitely lost pure fat. My legs are as dry and separated as ever and I am really excited to watch myself fill out. I am very flat, so I wont be going zero carb today, but my carbs will be low. I am dong 40 min of cardio as soon as I finish typing this. I will then get two meals of low carbs in and go train some shoulders, arms, abs and butt blaster, then finish with 20 min on the STEPMILL!!!! After that I have a couple clients then I just rest and pack for my journey to Florida tomorrow! I am so excited but VERY CALM. I am ready for this. I have never been so ready. I have put in the work and its my time. Carb up begins tomorrow. Thank you to everyone who has supported me through all this!

Video Interview!!

Easterns, A bittersweet victory

I am already back to my diet for Nationals, but I will rehash the weekends events first!
Friday, there was a terrible accident somewhere on 9a going into the city. So what should have been an hour and 15 min ride turned into 3 hours!!! Seriously! That is no exaggeration. Once I got to my hotel I had to tan more. It was all ready late and when I was done I just passed out! I woke up at 7 and checked my weight. It was 224! Perfect. The scales are always lite at these shows so I knew I was good. I pounded 4 whole eggs and a1/2 cup of cream of rice with a banana and went to check in.
My weight at check in was 223.2. Like I said, I knew I would make 225 cus the scales are always lite. I went to a little spot in the corner and sat and ate until it was time to go. There were 207 competitors in the show so I sat for a while! My class had 24 guys in it, and ten or so were very good! Most notably this one guy Paul Sousa. This guy was shredded. Possibly the best condition in the show. I knew if I could get by him the show was mine!
When they called us out it was a showdown between Myself, the guy Paul, and a 4th place Junior nats and recent East coast over all champ Robert Youells. We were immediately removed so I knew I was at worst third, but truly felt like my combo of shape and size could not be beat!
By the time the nite show came around I was very dehydrated, but I didn't want to drink cus I had a feeling I was in it for the overall. I hit the stage for my routine like an animal! I was beyond fired up! The crowd was insane!
First place! I won my class and went on to the overall!
Unfortunately I did not win the overall. I am still kinda confused by this and one of the judges actually told my mother that I got robbed! Oh well, that's the past. Nationals is the future and I am gonna be even better!
Thanks so much to everyone that was there! It meant so much to me!!!!

1 day out of Easterns!

I am one day out of Easterns and this will be my last blog until its all said and done. I woke up this am at 6 to see where I was at. When I looked in the mirror I was shocked at the body that I saw. I have never looked like this. I was PERFECT! So I got on the scale and it said...226.8! Uh oh, I thought, that's kinda heavy! So I worried for one second, and then I removed those thoughts from my mind and went to bed saying everything would be PERFECT! I got up for good at 8:30. Looked in the mirror and noticed I had lost some fullness, so I had a good feeling about the scale. Stepped on and it read 224.5! Perfect! I am gonna be a BIG, BAD, heavy weight tomorrow! This prep has been so awesome and I have so many people to thank, but I will do that all when I return. I am headed to Manhattan this afternoon and from now till then I am just gonna keep getting better. It is truly exciting to watch!
