    Default Masters Nationals 11 Days out!

    11 days from the big National show and dialing it in. Got in my rested/fasted cardio this morning now get a little work done before I lift at 3. Don't know how many I will have in my class there but should be 15 to 30 depending on turnout. Got to finish in the top 2 for that pro card so it's time to grind grind grind. I will be in class C or D there depending on turnout because they created the new class D for the big turnout shows. Normally I'm in class C at the local shows and there is no class D.

    best advice I can give about national level shows, is it is a big hurry up and wait game, so don't stress over time when your there and have food with you at all times, and watch your body. Just the stress of being at the show and the crowd being out of your comfort zone can make your body change. Easier said than done I know, but just relax and own the stage as if everyone else is battling for second place, because you got this.

    NPC Master National in Pittsburgh right? Back in 2013 I had qualified by placing in top 3 in NPC Northern States in Minneapolis then proceded to the injured reserve list with some back and ab issues

    Good luck Bro, be rooting for you! Since I'll be 58 soon, I may be targeting the 60 & over class. LMK how that class looks....

    Thanks brother, I did the North American last year and finished 7th but I was in no where near as good of shape as I'm in now. Not going to lie I was overwhelmed and probably wasn't as crisp as I needed to be on stage either. I will be much more relaxed this time around for sure. I'm going to kick some ass.

    It is great to have the support of your family...........I would take the "shaky camera" syndrome, for the cheers!!

    Tell them at the masters to stop just long enough to get a few good shots; I know everyone on the board would love to see how your hard work and dedication has paid off!!

    Yea that can get expensive quick. After my last big show I ate a 6 pound lobster, 14oz filet, cheesecake, 7 donuts and a host of other shit. My bill alone was over 200 bucks lmao.

    Awesome good luck! You hit the stage after me I'm in the Classic over 40 and not sure what class yet because this show could have A,B,C and D. I will be in the tallest class so C or D if they have D. You should be in the warm up area when I come off stage and back there to get my stuff.

    I'll be on stage in the morning myself in the 45+ men's physique class. Competed here last year and got third. So close to getting my pro card! I'm 6 lbs heavier this year and 3.5% bf. If the same level of talent shows this year as last, I stand a good chance. Good luck Masher59!

    Well I had a good shot but didn't pull it off. Going to email the judges and see exactly what I have to do. Had a great time and learned a bit more about fine tuning. Going to maybe go back in 5 weeks to the North American Championships if I have enough time to cleanup what the judges want me to fix.
