Popeye's Fall Classic 2019 Follow Up Video

It's been a little over a week now and so I thought it was time to do a follow-up on my Popeye's Fall Classic 2019 results. I even have my professional stage photos to add to the video so make sure to watch the entire video to see all the photos since they are inserted throughout the video.

 

In this Popeye's Fall Classic 2019 Follow Up Video I mainly talk about how I felt I did and if I was happy with the what I presented at the show, what would I like to change for any future shows and if there are even going to be any future shows and what they might be...

In summary I am very happy I decided to attend this years Popeye's Fall Classic, I got pretty much exactly the results I was hoping for which was to take home the Overall Trophy in Open Men's Physique and to place top 5 in Open Men's Classic Physique since I really was not prepared to do Classic Physique at all going into this years Popeye's Fall Classic.

InBody H20N-B Dial Smart Body Composition Scale Unboxing Review

Several years back when I was in Anaheim California attending a TheFitExpo Convention, I visited the InBody Booth and was super impressed by their Body Composition Analysis scales. These where high end machines designed for fitness clubs and Healthier elated business as the machines here several thousands dollars to buy, not for your average home user. All the same I still wanted one but of course was not willing to shell out 5-6 thousand dollars.

That's was until I found out that InBody now has a home unit called the InBody Dial H20N-B available at a fraction of the cost of their professional units, marketed for the home user that wants to have in home Smart Body Composition data available any time any day.

The InBody Dial H20N-B is a bit hard to find for sale right now since they are so new and not even listed in Canada so I had do get mine from Ebay, but they will be available shortly over at Amazon.com and Amazon.ca I will provide links when I have them.

This video is my Unboxing and First impressions of the InBody Dial H20N-B Smart Body Composition Scale. I take it out of the box, have a good look at it, show you the manual that is not in English so not much use to me, and then pair it to my Smart Phone.

My full Testing Review for the InBody Dial H20N-B Smart Body Composition Scale will be out when I have some data that I can share with everyone.

Short Road to Popeye's Fall Classic 2019 - Show Day!

It's all said and done and I know it always take me at least a day or tow to get my Show Day video out so one day after the fact for me is doing pretty good. I did post my results on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter so if you are not following me on any of those platforms then get hooked up for more instant info.

Before I get into the details of how I did, I feel a perspective is required. In both categories that I competed in there where at least 50 guys, most of which completed in the Open Category (Any Age so most of them where in their 20's to 30's). So a good turnout of competitors.

OK so here's how I did. In Men's Open Classic Physique (Which is not the category I focus on), I placed 3rd out of around 15 of the tall division competitors that for the most part all came well prepared for the show. Keep in mind on check-in day I weighed in at 190 pounds but I am allowed to be up to 212 pounds based on my height, so a lot of the guys I went head to head against where out sizing me by a good 20 pounds. That said I feel my posing and conditioning really helped me out to get third place which I am really proud to achieve considering I could be the father to most of the guys I was standing on stage with.

My main focus category, Men's Open Physique, I placed 1st again in my tall class which had 5 guys in it, and again all the fellows looked great and worked hard to get to that stage prepared so the win was not an easy one. As a first place winner of my height category, I was then given the opportunity to be in the Overalls with the other winners of their height categories. Which meant for Men's Open Physique there was a total of 4 of us fighting to be the Overall Winner. It was a real battle but while I was on stage I felt the judges where really paying a lot of attention to me which is a good thing, after the comparisons we went back to our stage positions and waited for the announcement of who the Overall Winner was going to be and after what seemed like forever I finally heard my number and name called and I got to tell you it was a very emotional feeling that came over me, in some ways relief that I had finally won an Overall and also the felling of absolute appreciation to the judges for picking me out of everyone that worked so hard to be there that day.


Unfortunately I don't have a lot of photos or video to show you but when it does become available I will post it for sure. I did pay for professional Stage photos so I can promise those will be included in a video when I get them.
