53 Year Old Contest Prep 2 Days Out Update Peak Week

Only 2 more days to go till I show all the hard work I have done on stage at the Vancouver Fall Classic. Today was not an easy one, my body has had it, my legs are aching, my mind is gone, there is no more energy left but it's just one more day of hard work until I don't have to do any more exercise and I can start my massive carb up.

Today was all about making sure I stuck to my eating plan and I got my activity in which needed to total 2000 calories of exercise. I even had to tell myself if I was a good boy I would get a treat at the end of the day and all I can say is I pulled it off.

I am so excited for tomorrow, I almost feel like the carb up and checkin is one of the more enjoyable parts of doing a contest, don't get me wrong, show day is a lot of fun but for sure more stressful.

In this 2 Day Out Contest Prep Video I take you along with me as I get my last work day completed!

53 Year Old Contest Prep 3 Days Out Update Peak Week

Wow 3 days out to the Vancouver Fall Classic already and for me has come and gone but here's what happened today...

As per normal like every other day for the past several months I made my trek to A&W where I had my two eggs sunny side up and shot my first what's going on today video clip. I also recorded some Shoulder and Arm training at the gym along with some quick change room mandatory posing. There are a couple of food clips of course and I talk about what's going to happen tomorrow a little bit.

I am so glad to have finished up my last weight training session today and only really have tomorrow to worry about in terms of getting steps and activity in to hit my calorie burn goal of around 2000. I am so done and my body is done too, don't know if could do another week of this as I am really getting depleted now and every day I see positive changes in my body. Super excited to see how I look Saturday morning!

53 Year Old Contest Prep 5 Days Out Update Peak Week

One day closer to the Vancouver Fall Classic and today I am in a better mood! Getting back on the low carbs has flushed out a ton of water as I am done almost 5 pounds literally overnight sitting at just under 195 pounds. Still got another 3 pounds or so to lose but it is happening for sure, leaving no stone unturned!

In this Vlog styled Video I take some random video of my day starting with a morning chat at A&W about what's going on, then I go over what my day will look like, some food shots and talk, a little bit of tanning booth posing video, a look at my new posing shorts ending with dinner and a little more conversation...

53 Year Old Contest Prep 1 Week Out Update Peak Week

We are in the home stretch now and this is generally the time I start to get really excited for the show as I am so close to stepping on stage and enjoying all the hard work that has gone into the full prep.

In this video I cover days 7 and 6 out documenting what I am eating and some of what I am doing each day alone with an update posing video. Normally even though at this point in the prep I am super fatigued I seem to find my second wind and get kind of reenergized. Unfortunately not everything is going exactly as I want it to but life does bring challenges and it's how you deal with these challenges that really tells what kind of person you are.

I plan to make video logs of each day during Peak Week so do join with me on this last Peak Week and hopefully you will get an idea of the ups and downs, joys and disappointments that go along with it. Life is not always what you want but it is what you make it to be.
