What do I Eat During Contest Prep?

A common question I get when I'm getting close to another Fitness Show I will be going into is: "What do I eat when I am in contest prep?"And usually people want to know what I do specifically during my "Peak Weeks" which for me is two weeks out from the show day. This is when I really have to crack down and trim off all the last bits of fat and use a method called carb depletion to make my body burn fat and drain it of glycogens so come show day I can rapidly refill my glycogens effectively giving me a glycogen boast. This makes me luck fuller and more detailed when I'm up on stage for the show.

In this video I go over what foods and supplements I take during my 2 week "Peak Week" process along with my calories, macros, what exercise I do and how I load my carbs back in prior to contest day.

Here is a list of some of the Isagenix suppliments I take during my Peak Weeks:

• IsaPro Protein
• Amped Protein Bars
• Isagenix Greens
• Isagenix Fruits
• Amped Power
• Amped Recover
• e+ Energy Shot

Road to Popeye's Fall Classic 2017 - 2 Weeks Out Posing Practice

Today I am officially two weeks out from the Popeye's Fall Classic Bodybuilding Show where I am competing not only in Open Physique but also Open Classic Physique. This means I have some work to do learning how to pose like a Classic Physique competitor. Not an easy job for someone use to doing pretty basic posing in board shorts :)

Thankfully my good friend Warren Kindellan is helping me out figuring out what works and what doesn't work. Over the next two week I will be doing a lot of posing practice!

Road to Popeye's Fall Classic 2017 - It Begins

I have been holding off before deciding to let everyone know about a new show I plan on going into in about a month. Partially because I was not sure myself if I was going to enter it or not? Well I have decided to go for it even though it's only about a month away. The show is the Popeye's Fall Classic 2017 being held in Richmond BC on November 19th 2017.

This show for me is all about having fun, my last show the Canadian Nationals was kind of stressful as I had my 1st place title to try and hold onto and also that Pro Card dangling in front of me. The Popeye's Fall Classic is not a qualified show so I can enter pretty much any class I want to, so why not go in Open and compete with the young bucks. I even have plans to give Classic Physique a shot, why not, it's only an additional $50 and it's all for fun!

In prep for the Popeye's Fall Classic I have been on a slow bulk and I'm currently hovering around 204 pounds which is heavy for me, the good news is I'm not all that fat and feeling stronger than ever so there is some new muscle I hope to take with me to the stage which will help a lot in Classic Physique for sure!

I do have my work cut out for me heading into the Popeye's Fall Classic as I need to lose about 5-8 pounds of fat and keep the muscle I have been working hard to gain and I only have about 4.5 weeks to do it in...
