So here is my video of the Pre-Judging portion of the 2015 Victoria Cup Men's Physique Fitness Contest. There is video coverage of the Master, Open Short and Open Tall Divisions. I competed in the Masters (40+) and Open (All ages) Tall Divisions.
Enjoy the show, I will upload the Awards portion of the 2015 Victoria Cup Men's Physique Fitness Contest shortly...
The day I have been waiting and working so hard for has come and no matter what I have done all I can do at least for this Victoria Cup Men's Physique Competition. What ever happens now is what is meant to be and out of my hands and in the hands of the judges...
OK, enough of that sentimental stuff, let's get on with how everything played out. Don't forget to watch the video for some back stage video, a bit of in-between and some post contest videos but if you are wanting to see the show video it will be coming shortly when I get a chance to edit the video together. I will be including some photos so you can check those out for now here in the GetFitOver40.com Blog.
So how did I do? Awesome if I say so myself! I got first place in Men's Masters Physique (40+) and 1st place in Men's Open (Open to all ages young and ancient). I also received the PharmaFreak Ripped Freak Award for most ripped in show which for me was a big deal since I pride myself in getting as conditioned as possible.
I actually had a judge mention to me later that I need to be careful not to come in too dry which in other words means too shredded. You can actually be too shredded for Men's Physique! Who would of thought ;)
On a side note, I did pay for professional photos taken at the show and should have some of these posted in a few days and there was also professional video being taken of the show and even back stage so when that becomes available I will let you guys know and if possible post it on my YouTube Channel and GetFitOver40 Website.
Tomorrow is my big Victoria Cup show day but today was still a lot of fun. We left Langley around 11am today and with the BC Ferry weekend traffic we got bumped to the 2pm ferry. Which to be honest was a bit of a blessing since we where the second to last vehicle to get on the 2pm ferry, and if we had missed it we would have had to wait another hour for the next ferry.
What else did we do... Well we checked into our sweet accommodations at the WorldMark Victoria where we have a 2 bedroom apartment with a full kitchen, huge living room 2 bathrooms and laundry. Our view from the 6th floor is awesome especial as the sun is setting.
After hotel check-in, I put my coat of self spray tan on and then stood up while I dried off and ate some dinner that consisted of chicken breast, veggies, sweet potatoes and rice cakes. We then went to the athletes meeting for check-in and to pick up my bag of goodies supplied by the show sponsors. After we came back home I applied my coat of cream based tan and I have to say I am really happy with the finished results of my do-it-yourself tan :) I guess we'll see tomorrow how I stack up against the other competitors...
Soon it will be show time, only 2 Days Out from my Men's Physique Fitness Contest at the Victoria Cup. In this shorter Video Log I show you all my meals that I pre-made to take along with my wife and I on our trip to Victoria BC. A combination of Pacific Cod, Chicken Breast, Mixed Veggies and Sweet Potatoes. With a steak thrown in for my early morning pre-show breakfast :) I will also be snacking on some rice cakes from time to time to help me get my required carb intake to help fill back in my depleted muscles.
I talk about some of the foods I am eating and how they change a bit as I get closer to the event, I also drop by my CrossFit Gym to take advantage of their large mirrors and do some posing practice which I show you a bit of. After my posing I did manage to get a second workout in and I am pretty sure it is my last workout till after the Victoria Cup.
