Here we are three weeks out from the Westcoast Iron Vancity Showdown being held on October 11th here in New Westminster Canada. I had a really great week last week in terms of sticking to my program, I kept to my caloric deficit and basic macros, got all my workouts in and lots of walking each day.

I'm still up and close to 200 pounds even in the morning so for sure maybe even over 200 pounds in the evening which normally at this point I would be a bit concerned about as I would say it's about 5 pounds over where I normally am at 3 weeks out from a show. That said the way my belts are fitting and the amount of fat around my waist and lower back is more in line with being at 2-3 weeks out so the scale does not tell all.

I contribute being a bit heavier (more muscle) with a longer prep time mostly because of Covid and the fact that I have had a lot of time to get ready for this show since I was not even sure what show or even if there was going to be a show this year. So I have been kind of prepping for a while now, getting 6 workouts in per week and eating much cleaner and better than in a non prep situation.

I still have three weeks to get in what I hope to be the best shape I have ever been in even at 51 years old now. So keep following along to see how far I can take it this time!
