GetFitOver40 Mens Masters Physique Contest Vlog - Contest Day

Well I'm a day behind on this one :( Yesterday was a very busy and mentally draining day plus I did not get a lot of sleep the last couple of nights so after everything was all over it was simply time to go to bed. Today has been a bit of a travel and catch up day with my kids.

So enough of the excuses... How did I do? Well I won't leave you all in suspense, I got first place in my Men's Master Physique class which was not a large class since there where only 7 of us 40-50 year olds on the stage. Compare that to the 90 or so young bucks in the open class and you may think to yourself that the competition was not as hard in my class. I would tend to agree but the guys that where up there on stage with me all deserved to be there and I ask you this, how many of the 90 or so young bucks are going to be competing in Mens Physique when they turn 40 years old? Right there is how you separate the boys from the men.

OK, so now I am getting a bit cocky so I'll stop while I have made my point and move on...

This video covers some of my thoughts during the Contest Day of the Sandra Wickham Mens Masters Physique Contest. I don't really have any actual show or even back stage footage since I was making sure to stay focused on the task at hand and there was not much of an opportunity to use my camera while back stage. I will be posting show footage shortly once I have edited it so stay tuned for that...

Me on Stage at the Sandra Wickham 2014 Men's Master Physique

So the prejudging  of the Sandra Wickham 2014 Men's Master Physique is complete and I have some great footage of it coming your way. As it turns out there where only 7 of us Men's Masters with the youngest being 41 and the oldest being 50, I was right in the middle at 45!

I have a few photos to hold you over till I can get the video edited and uploaded in a day or so...

Thanks to my instructor Darren from CrossFit Langley for giveing me the heads up on these wonderful photos taken by Muscle Insder!

GetFitOver40 Mens Masters Physique Contest Vlog - 1 Day Out

Here I am posting this video now on the day of the show since it is 12:30am as I type! So what happened today or I should say yesterday? Well I shaved my entire body, showered and exfoliated twice, did a quick re-dye of my hair, made 5 meals to take with me, packed up all my stuff, drove to the hotel, drove to the other check-in event hotel but forgot my shorts so had to go back to my hotel and get them... Checked into the event, went home and had dinner, drove back to the event hotel and got my tan, spilled water immediacy on myself and had to get touched up again, drove back to my hotel, had some more food, took some photos and more video and made edited this video and now I am posting it to you all :)

Tomorrow is the show, I have to be there around 10:30am, we go on at 12pm I believe. I am as prepared as I can be at this point. Tomorrow I should wake up super dry and filled in a bit. We will see how I do? Wish me luck!

GetFitOver40 Mens Masters Physique Contest Vlog - 2 Days Out

Just one more sleep till I make my way to the Mens Masters Physique Event. And one more workout too! In this Llog I show you another high protein, low carb and low fat mouth quenching masterpiece utilizing some sole, egg whites and of course a bunch of veggies. I also briefly talk about the new Garmin VivoSmart Fitness Band I just got that's actually a fitness band and smart watch all in one, very cool or sure and yes I will be making a full review for it down the road.

I also talk a bit about some carbs I got to eat tonight, yum-yum! My plans to cut water and some of the stuff I need to do once I get to the event, hotel and athlete check in, Spray Tan, and of course I will get some video to share with you.

GetFitOver40 Mens Masters Physique Contest Vlog - 3 Days Out

Getting closer, only 3 more days to go now... In this Vlog I show you another food creation focussing on fish and you guessed it, more veggies. The macros on this meal where pretty good: 69 grams of protein, 20 grams of carbs and only 5 grams of fat. And I have to say it was pretty yummy. Good enough to eat for brunch and my late night snack!

Today I also started my three days of exfoliation to prep my skin for the spray on tan. I also did a bit of a hair trimming and used up the last of my just for men moustache and beard which by the way works great on your hair and you can use a little or a lot as needed.

Overall I am feeling pretty good, tomorrow I start carbing up in the evening which is already making me think about the rice and oatmeal I will be eating soon :)
