 Right you guys, how are we and what is going on? Welcome back to another update video today's video. I'm sitting in the car I just made my previous video talking about you know that I'm playing rugby again, and Oh man, oh man, I feel like crying. I really do I Just yeah fingers crossed it goes well anyway. There's another thing another pretty important thing That I will be doing in my life. It's gonna be taking up a lot of time It's gonna be taking up a lot of energy And what that is is I'm gonna be working closely finally with a bodybuilder as a personal trainer to me To bring me in to another bodybuilding show. Yes, that's right. This will be my third bodybuilding show ever I still am a lifetime natural athlete that means I've never taken any performance and arts and drugs So what that means is that I will be eligible to compete in the NZ IFBB natural Division, which is what I plan on doing and what I planned on doing you know five years ago But I gave up I gave up on bodybuilding because well, you know life got way too busy And to be honest after the results I had from my previous shows I did become a little disheartened But at the end of the day bodybuilding is a journey of yours. It's it's your own journey It's your own fitness journey, you know, everyone's on a different one. Everyone has a different body Everyone has different body types different genetics. And so, you know It's a subjective sport guys And I'm acutely aware of that, but I am still a massive massive fan of bodybuilding. I absolutely love it I love I follow all the pro shows. I follow the Arnold classics every year, you know, olympia I know all the professional athletes men's physique classic physique 212 open, you know The woman's division is not so much Um, but definitely the men's so with all that being said guys, it's time that I I guess it's time that I Bring that passion back to the forefront in my life So this is coinciding with the fact that you know gyms have have reopened here in New Zealand Um, it's coinciding with the fact that I've joined up at a gym and I have been training consistently for a couple of weeks So, you know, I feel good You know, I wasn't once again anxiety was stopping me from contacting steve as my coach Um, because of the fact that I hadn't been in the gym for a while. I didn't have a huge amount of confidence Um, I hadn't lifted weights for you know A few months and I didn't know where I was at. So now two weeks back I know where my physique's at. I know where my weight's at. I know where my strength is at and you know, once again I'm just gonna bite the bullet and jump in the deep end and uh This video is is discussing that so tomorrow morning guys officially I'm going to meet steve for the first time Um, and even though I've been following his bodybuilding journey for years I'm going to meet him in his local gym and we're going to have a first consultation So as far as I'm aware, it's going to be 50 bucks a week for coaching um This is online coaching If and when I want to meet him in person clearly he's he's living locally, but that will probably be an extra cost But I'm hoping that I can make some videos out of it, which will be pretty fucking cool seeing as steve orton Aka the ox is officially new zealand's best bodybuilder New zealand's most successful bodybuilder and definitely new zealand's best current bodybuilder So i'm super excited to to get around i'm super excited to To to feed off of his passion for the sport and i'm super excited to To get back involved in the sport of bodybuilding Um, you know, I'm an absolute fan fanatic love it. I love training. I love nutrition There's so many training and nutrition videos on this on this channel as it is and I guess you know There's going to be plenty more to come so if and when I do compete it's uh october or november this year We'll be creating a vlog style, you know video series um up to that point And uh, well, you know, I'm not going to put too much pressure on myself but You've got to start somewhere and today is the day uh tomorrow, you know I meet him for the first time and we run through the plan So with that being said, I'd assume the next video you see will be Following that meeting Discussing what the plan is And uh, and what I've what I've been told what I've learned Uh so far how it went Where i'm sitting what he says If he even thinks that competing this year is a good idea because if he looks at me and says, no, you're too small We need to put on some size. Well, I'll listen And with that being said guys, I just wanted to update you on that so this video is titled I am going to compete again on a bodybuilding stage Um or something along those lines and that's basically it So I hope you guys have a fantastic day. I hope anyone out there that has an interest in bodybuilding and nutrition You know comes along for the ride if not competes yourself But obviously with the world the way it is now things are getting cancelled left right in center or postponed at least although new zealand as a country seems to be Going pretty damn well and so not only have we got rugby back on But we've also got gyms back open And bodybuilding shows still on in the second half of the year so new zealand as a country I'm so proud to be a kiwi. I'm so happy to be living here, but in saying that you guys know my next trip Will be across the pacific ocean to the states And I guess that trip could happen at any point And I'll tell you what guys it's going to be so much fun I'm going to go over to america Create a fuckload of content And bring it all to this channel.
