 Saturday morning Sunday Sunday or is it Monday Monday I don't know any Saturday songs it's going up on a Tuesday Monday Monday Sunday Sunday can't think of any Saturday songs my friends otherwise I would serenade you with my voice say eight days out for my powerlifting competition deadlift time last heavy day fatigue is a little bit high pulling 600 multiple times multiple times in a week in multiple weeks in a row doesn't feel the best doesn't feel worse so feeling okay ended up pulling 595 and 615 ish I threw some kilos on the end so I don't know what that is also the weight cut starts today having added carbs since 8 p.m. last night and before you guys go saying Mike you always talk about never doing a weight cut you told me not to wake up this is true but I've also been doing this 10 years so do as I say not as I do I'm my lowest body weight is 203 so I'm around there and I wanted I signed up to compete a 198 so we'll do just a little water cut I'll eat some like figs or something as a figs fig is it a fig anyways listen prune I'm gonna eat some prunes I'm gonna poop out whatever's in my intestines and weighing in 198 so real note is that I don't promote people to do water cuts unless they are on a very very high competitive level and I'm not at that high of a competitive level but for me I'm not actually gonna have to do a water cut I'm just gonna cut out a little bit of carbs this week for seven days drink a little bit of extra water try to flush out my system I'll probably be right there overall felt okay 595 moved real smooth 615 was a little heavy but that's kind of to be expected it's still moved smooth just a little bit slower than I probably like everyone's asking what I'm gonna pour what up my goals are my goals are to go in have a little bit of fun cheer on the homies whoever else is competing be back on the platform and see what the day brings me see if I can have my best pole ever at 198 let's see if I can have my best pole ever at 198 which I don't know what that's gonna be I think in a competition in a full power me my best pole is 650 and in a full sanctioned me I think my best poles also 650 so to be able to break that will be fine add a lower body weight otherwise we're chilling man so got to eat a little in and out because I'm cutting low carb one glass of water and one large diet coke please this is what I used to do I've talked about in another video about eating keto 8 keto for probably ages 22 to maybe 24 for a while liked it didn't perform very well but since I'm going a little bit low carb all up my fats just so I don't die this week so two protein style you know how we do it out here in and out so a sack town my boy Connor does all the filming stuff hopefully he's gonna move here here soon so I want to show him around a little bit just to get of the vibe here I grew up here obviously been here for 20 plus years and I love it and it gets really hot right now I'm outside in the backyard it's about 99 degrees and I kind of dig it there's not a ton to do here although there's more and more as the downtown starting to grow there's restaurants and parks and bars and things of that nature but growing up all there was was the river so all some of your playing video games you're hanging out with your friends inside going to a movie or going to the river ran to the bank hopped on the river there's just some families swimming kicking it a couple guys fishing fishing is not a past time I see myself getting after because I'm way too ADD but hopefully you guys enjoy some of the cool shots of the drone I Sacramento is way beautiful and you know just to echo everyone thinks of California and they think about like Los Angeles they think of cement and beaches which is fine a lot of people love that but it's not for me man northern California we're literally Sacramento called the city of trees beautiful trees beautiful landscapes you can get to the mountains in about an hour an hour and a half you get to San Francisco about an hour an hour and a half I just love it we're very central besides the steaming heat if you can hang out with the dry Sun everything else I love so it's cool to be on the river a little bit just be in nature nature and so we'll see what's happening at this meet you know I I've talked about a lot about my past competing why I do compete don't compete if I'm gonna hit what I want you know obviously my all-time bull within the next five years is to hit an all-time PR I think I have a lot more than 705 in me the goal was to do it at this meet when I started my prep but things don't always go as planned I don't know if I hit what I want again 615 or 625 whatever I pulled today was a little bit slower than I'd like yeah I do have a little bit of promise in myself and a little bit of confidence in myself come game day turn the lights on that is when I'm you know I like attention what could I say what do you think I put my face all over the internet praying people watch that's just not cocky not bragging it's just being self-aware I know I know what drives me what fuels me high energy eyes on me fueled me ever since I first played my first varsity basketball game in high school with a packed crowd it always drives me to work a little bit harder and perform my best so we'll do that we'll do my best don't know if we're gonna hit it but anything over 650 I'll be satisfied with anything over 705 I'll be happy with it looks like right now the opener is gonna be around anywhere from 594 to 611 we'll see I guess come the week we'll see how my energy feels after eating no carbs for a while body weight today I didn't even weigh myself but I imagine it's about 203 204 so we'll see how it goes here's a new style vlog for you guys we're
