55 Years Old Post Open Heart Surgery 3.5 Weeks Out Posing Update

This video was made 3.5 weeks out from my first show since my Open Heart Surgery back in January of 2023. I plan to compete first at the Vancouver Open on July 6th, and then if everything is still going well, I will also compete at the Vancouver International Pro Qualifier July 13th. I am not sure if I will be competing in both Physique and Classic Physique or just Physique this time around, and what categories I will register for? Open? Masters? Grand Masters? We will see closer to the day and how I look...

Right now I feel on track with a body fat percentage in the single digits, I need to get it down at least 3-4 more points to be stage ready. This should not be a problem as I will be losing about 2 pounds of fat per week which will drop my body fat 6-8 pounds. For around every 2 pounds or so of fat, I will drop 1% body fat so this should get me where I want to be come show day.

Now I need to start my posing practice as I am a little rusty with not a lot of time to get the rust out. I feel really good and so far I am not having any food cravings or hunger issues and I still feel I have a good level of energy. As I get closer my diet will become more and more strict so that will change near the end but I should not have to suffer too much!
