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 :)

GetFitOver40 Mens Masters Physique Contest Vlog - 4 Days Out

Today I show you how I make my Low Calorie, Low Carb, Low Fat High Protein Egg Breakfast which also happens to be my bed time dinner.

I talks a bit about how I am feeling and that I think my stomach has given up on me and decided I am just not listening any more ;)

I also show off another quick METCON workout my 7 year old son Gabriel performs over at his Taekwondo class.

GetFitOver40 Mens Masters Physique Contest Vlog - 5 Days Out

My first iPhone Vlog and much more to come! I talk about my upcoming Mens Masters Physique Contest that I am competing at, the event is called the 2014 Sandra Wickham Fall Classic being held in New Westminster BC Canada.

I go over some of my diet as I am doing my last week of preparation and how this is effecting me and even my family.

Look forward to daily iPhone Vlog as I get closer to this event.

HumerusFitness 200 Push Up Challenge

Spoiler alert!! I had a bit of problem counting by 10's during this Push Up Fitness Challenge and kind of short changed myself. Perhaps my 1000 calorie per day weight cut is effecting brain function a bit ;)

Anyways, it is what it is and the point of this video is to take part in this fitness challenge and see how well you can do. Even with a few less reps than I should have done, I think I performed pretty well. I may even try a do-over next week if I feel the urge to do another 200 or so pushups...

One interesting note is the fact that I actually burned 1 calorie per pushup performed during this push-up challenge, so 190 calories in all. I generally let my Garmin HRM run until my heart rate comes down to around 120 beats per minute to offset the fact that I start out most exercises with my heart rate lower.

Total Gym Fit Versus XLS Comparison Review

I have been getting some questions about my new Total Gym Fit. So far I have owned three Total Gym's. My first Total Gym I bought used and I believe it was the original Infomercial Total Gym, I then got a new Total Gyn XLS version a few years back and just recently acquired the latest Total Gym Fit model.

Most people seem to want to know if the new Total Gym Fit is worth the extra money and if it is worth upgrading to? Now if you already have the Total Gym XLS version, I would not necessarily recommend you go out and get the Fit version since both units pretty much do exactly the same thing. I can say that Total Gym has made some noteworthy improvements to the new Total Gym Fit model so you will have to decide for yourself it this these upgrades are worth the additional cost.

Addition of Extra Resistance Levels:

This is not a huge deal breaker but after using the new Total Gym Fit I do find myself using the levels in-between the main level found on my old Total Gym XLS version so yes, the extra levels do come in handy with some exercises, especially when you are getting tired and you want to drop the weight or resistance just a bit.

Reenforced Arms and Main Brace:

For me this is one of the biggest improvements of the new Total Gym Fit. With my old XLS model, I always found there was a lot of flex in the arms area where the cables attached at the top, so much so that squeaking would occur. Now I am not your usually Total Gym user.I generally do most of my exercises on the top level and even add anywhere from 60-100 additional pounds on the weight bar so I am pushing my Total Gym to its limits, so this flexing I am talking about may not be noticeable for most Total Gym users. The main Brace where you adjust the resistance levels has also been improved and reenforced, I have found it to be much smoother when adjusting the levels up and down, no more need to place my foot on the bottom when making adjustments with the new Total Gym Fit.

Improved Wing Attachment Design:

One accessory that may come with your Total Gym us the wing attachment, the new version is now a two piece design instead of being one piece which does allow me to keep it in place on the bottom and still allow me to keep the Leg Platform on at the same time. This was not possible with the one piece wing attachment.

Weight Bar Slight Relocation:

A small change was made to where the hole is now placed on the new Total Gym Fit. It is now just a bit higher up on the pad perhaps to give a better balance when adding weight to the weight bar? I did however find that with my kind of long legs that I now have to bend them slightly or I will come off the pad at the top. Not a big deal but worth mentioning.

Updated Color Scheme:

For some of you, the looks may or may not be that important and the new color Scheme will not improve your workout but does make the new Total Gym Fit look more up to date for sure. I kind of like it and it matches my gym room very well :)
