*Watch the video ending for my current posing condition 2 Days Out*

We are officially two days out from the 2026 Vancouver Fall Classic I actually had to re-record this update because my first take featured a piece of rice cake stuck to my hair for the entire video.

Today is focused entirely on carb-loading, hitting roughly 3,500 calories without eating any meat or beans. I am still getting well over 100 grams of protein strictly from my carb sources, which consist of oatmeal, rice cakes, and rice. I am keeping my meals simple and avoiding bread and potatoes, though I am definitely getting tired of the current menu. Tomorrow evening, the diet shifts to a fatty, greasy burger with fries to push salt, fat, and a little bit of meat into my body before the show.

For show day itself, I have a junk food platter ready, packed with chocolate bars and wine gums. These fast-acting, sugary carbs are used to quickly fill out the muscles, but they must be eaten carefully to prevent stomach bloating while up on stage.

There was no training today, just a dog walk and some posing practice. Tomorrow's schedule is dedicated to final preparations, including finishing my packing, manscaping, and applying a pre-tan spray that pulls out skin pigment ahead of the official spray tan on Saturday. After that, we will check into a hotel closer to the venue to eliminate the 45-minute drive and keep stress to a minimum for show day.
