Road to the Canadian Nationals 2019 - 1 Day Out

One more sleep and I step on stage for the GNC / ALLMAX Canadian National Pro Qualifier. No pressure or anything ;) I am really excited and really stressed both at the same time. This is when self doubt starts to creep into your thoughts but at this point I know I have done all that I can do, and the what ever the outcome I am happy with the work I put in. I stayed on track and did everything in my plan.

I said to my wife Nicole tonight that no matter what happens we are going to go out afterwards and celebrate with an amazing dinner. it will be well deserved either way.

So I made a video of some of the activities that happened 1 day out from the show. Enjoy!

Road to the Canadian Nationals 2019 - 2 Days Out

Today my wife Nicole and I travelled to Toronto for the GNC / ALLMAX Canadian National Pro Qualifier. I started the day off at 5:45am with 400 calories on the elliptical since I new I was not going to get any real other exercise in travelling all day. Well we made it and I am now sitting on the couch in our Airbnb typing up this 2 Days Out post. Enjoy some video from today's travel day.

Road to the Canadian Nationals 2019 - 3 Days Out

Here we are 3 days out from the GNC / ALLMAX Canadian National Pro Qualifier. The hard work is done now, I finished up my last workout today and got in a lot of walking, about 7 dedicated miles. I also started adding some carbs into my meals, about 300 grams today, carbs will go up a bit each day until show time.

I also had my Body Fat tested with the InBody Body Composition Analyzer. Last Friday according to the InBody Body Composition Scale I was sitting right around 6.4% and today, only 5 days later I was at 5.1% body fat. Not bad at all, I think we made it in terms of fat loss.

In this video I take you through my day including what I am eating and also a little bit of tanning room posing so you can get an idea of what 5% body fat looks like. Tomorrow the journey begins as we fly to Toronto!

Road to the Canadian Nationals 2019 - 4 Days Out

Here we are at 4 Days out to the GNC / ALLMAX Canadian National Pro Qualifier in Toronto and it's starting to get busy! Today I was up at 6am with my 3 plus mile walk to get it all done. Had my dropping off an pickup up of the kids from school to factor in, of course making breakfast, lunch and two dinners, 1 for me and one for the rest of the family, then there is my 2 hour workout, some posing practice, I had to pickup my GetFitOver40 Shwag, do some shopping, get a tan in, apply a spray tan, do some teeth whitening and also take my son to ball hockey and of course watch him play. Then of course there is the making and editing of this video which I am doing now :)

Road to the Canadian Nationals 2019 - 5 Days Out

We are full on in "Peak Week" sitting at 5 days out from the GNC / ALLMAX Canadian National Pro Qualifier in Toronto Ontario Canada and it is getting very real now. Today was my third to last workout day as I stop weight training after Wednesday and will only be getting some walking in mainly after that. The reality is if I'm not where I need to be by Wednesday in terms of conditioning then I missed the boat. I'm feeling really good and right on track to start carbing back up Wednesday evening and up until show day on Saturday.

At the end of this video I have included some video clips from today's weight training session that includes some chest and back exercises for you to get an idea of where I am at right now. I hope to have a Tanning Booth posing video on Wednesday which will be 3 days out from the show so stay posted for that.
