    Default North American Championships

    Well we are 10 days out from one heck of a monster show. This one will feature some of the best the US, Canada and Mexico have to offer and is so big it lasts 4 days. Masters 40 and over Classic Physique Class C will be my challenge and I plan on being dialed in and ready. I fly out on the 30th and weigh in that evening then the show is on the 31st. I'm going to get as good as I can get and go throw it down best I can and see what happens.

    It really is no joke it sucks really bad especially when friends want to go out to eat or the family. I've got my backpack with my meals in it and they hammer some great food. But hey I at least get to smell it!

    I'm off the oils and onto winny and var so I'm backing down and doing a bit more volume. Don't want to push and get an injury at this point in the game. The hard work has been done now it's time to cruise across the finish line.

    Well here we go I've done my first cardio session and my last workout now one more cardio session to go. I fly out in the morning headed for Pittsburgh and check in tomorrow evening. Getting all my things together now for the trip. Really excited can't wait to hit that stage for pre judging. I will check in here through the day tomorrow and show day and evening to let everyone know what's going on. Try to get some pics of some hotties also for Leatherhead.

    First challenge on Wednesday morning is to win my height class. If I pull that off I will go against probably 6 other height class winners for the Class C overall. Top 2 get their pro cards, it's go time baby.

    There are some big ass pros here for sure. There a foot shorter than me but look like two times as wide lol. Practicing posing now getting the meat charged up for the morning and still drying out. Going to get a good nights rest and see how well I look in the morning.
