 All right guys, welcome Welcome a week and a half late to my post-show recap and I'm gonna tie it in with a little bit of morning cardio because the shred has continued It's about a week and a half since I went on stage for the first ever time At the end of FBB Wellington champs 2015 I had an awesome time and I'm gonna tell you exactly what I learned a few things that I Didn't really see coming and I'm also going to show you my stage shots that I've just received Which I was almost more nervous to see than I was to step on stage to be honest with you because I never got any Stage shots. I never got any people from the crowd to take pictures of me So I never actually knew exactly what I looked like on stage. So that was very nerve-racking, but all in all I'm I'm happy, you know, you guys would have seen me talk about my competition who I was up against and I'm gonna show you that right now. We're in a few minutes, but um First of all, let me just put a t-shirt on and then we're gonna go for a walk and have a talk walk and talk got my Aminos of course and We are golden No, I need my wallet. Let's get out of here. Alice brings that Good to be back Definitely back in the swing of things as far as work goes now took a little while took a couple of shifts That's for sure. I was away for nearly four weeks. So I think that's probably the longest I've been away in the last five years but um Man what I will say is that if I didn't compete in Wellington it did actually cause issues when I came back to work Taking that extra week. I Was so focused on the show so focused on making these videos and etc That I didn't even communicate very well with my boss And then when I got back Yeah, well I got too much into it, but it was a pretty shitty first day and also being You know post post holiday depression, you know getting back it was it was kind of hard But I got through it didn't binge on my diet or anything. That's for sure. The diet is in check 100% and It's gonna continue that way for the next week and a half until I jump on stage again So let's talk about this first show so Yeah went into it All I've seen from bodybuilding shows is from Instagram from Facebook YouTube and I love watching it And I love seeing people go backstage and seeing people's experience and stuff So I really wanted to bring something like that to you guys And to everyone that's gonna watch this in the future. So I hope I really hope I did that I hope you guys enjoyed it Because I loved making those videos a and I felt like you guys were there with me like it was really awesome. So first of all, I have written back to some comments and in on YouTube today, but Man, this is just a huge. Thank you to everyone any new subscribers man subscribers have been with me for You know for for the last two years you guys would have seen some change that's for sure and if you have been here since the start man pipe up tell me because That's amazing. Like you're still you're really still watching my videos two years later when I When at the start who would have even known that I'd make it here to the stage. So Yeah, I just want to say thanks Thank you very much. It means the world to me that you're supporting I Can't I can't name names. I mean a lot of you guys. I don't really know your names, but I wish I could and you know if I'm If we're ever out at expo or if I ever go to an expo as a fan or you know FedEx and in Melbourne Fuck hit me up and we'll meet up and have a train something like that So I really want to get involved with my subscribers and I would but I live in Alice Springs. So it's kind of hard So Let me Talk about what I learnt from the show. I learnt heaps I learnt how the Registration goes I learned how the pre-judging runs I learned how You really never know when your class is going to go on stage. So I learnt that You really shouldn't you should well for a start you should have a pump-up routine sorted You should know exactly how long it's going to take You should know exactly what equipment you're going to use what? What you know what exercises you're going to do what you really need to pump up and Have it in your mind. So you're not stressing at all and this next show I'll definitely have that in my mind, but man It was an hour. Well, I thought it was probably about half an hour to go until I jumped on stage and I started pumping up turned out it was about an hour to go because Depending on how big the classes are I mean My class had six people in it above 180 centimeters 170 to 180 had like 15 competitors and it got re-judged So I mean I started pumping up when the bikini girls were still on and we still had all of the physique athletes I really didn't know so and I mean every show is going to be different But men's physique was the last division of the entire show. So Made it kind of hard to judge, but I did learn a lot about that. I also learned that There is so many more uses for resistance bands than you ever knew I'm telling you guys There is so many more Uses for resistance band. I'd like I wrapped it around a staircase and used and used it for tricep push downs I used a hollow staircases as a pull-up pull-up bar And I tell you what when I get to WBF BFF backstage I'll be looking for something to pump up my back some sort of bar or step or something because my back in The stage shot that I will show you what wasn't pumped at all I put most of my time into doing my red delts and no time into doing my back. So It really sucks It's all about Where was I oh yeah resistance bands. Yeah, I'll be taking one of them What else did I learn I learned I Learned what a thousand people in a crowd feels like God I Tell you what man my heart was absolutely racing before I went on stage Especially because my name was the first name out of the six in my class So I couldn't what I couldn't stand behind someone and see them go out in front of me first I was the first one that was lined up behind me. So Fuck me. What a what a nerve-wracking experience, but We've done it and We're only gonna get better. I'm a week and a half post-show no binges I got back down onto the diet extra hard because I just got motivated as fuck seeing these other guys shredded as having a great time and The more confident you are in your body and the work that you've done before the show The better time you're gonna have man If you're worrying about losing water if you're worrying about everyone else if you're worrying that you're not shredded enough you always you know looking at yourself and stuff and with disappointment if you know that you've done a hundred and ten percent and All the time coming up to the show There is gonna be none of that there's gonna be no Self-confidence issues, you know, you're gonna you're gonna kill it up there if you've done if you've done a hundred and ten percent everything you can Whatever the result you'll know inside yourself that you've done that and those and you'll be confident yourself and I wasn't in there in the first show because I knew that you know I had three more weeks to go blah blah blah. I've said it all before either way guys a Bit of a rant bit of a ramble, but and these flies are so fucking annoying. Oh my god But that's what we get here in other Springs. It's getting into summer It's actually a little bit humid today when when the clouds come over it gets a little bit humid and flies start coming out But when it's nice and dry, they're not too bad, but this morning is pretty bad Fucking morning So without further ado Here we are some stage shots from my show we've got two Two shots are from the front From the pre-judging from my posing routine and two shots As comparisons in the open class Me against that other guy Tom that I was telling you about Absolute fucking unit Just have a look at this guy. I mean I was I was 88 kgs on stage He's um Yeah You you guess how much he weighed I'd say he'd be tipping at least a hundred Shredded so Yeah, have a look guys. I'm gonna put them up now.
