 Good evening, so it is day two. No, it's not Cut and Back to one Action it is day two. No. Oh my god. I just did that two times in a row. I'm losing my mind I need a carb. Please somebody send carbs send all the carbs cut They don't even they don't even do the clapper when you cut. I know this it's just for the next take And take three. Good evening. It is day three of peak week Wednesday We are officially three days out from competition Well less than that because the competition is gonna be at all at 10 a.m. Starting on a Saturday morning Okay, who texts me right when I'm trying to vlog Sorrowed clearly my coffee is kicking in so that's a plus I didn't take the other pluses in my life the other positive if you will in my life I'm so weird. Okay. I actually made a trip down Orange County and Bought my posing trunks for the competition on Saturday. So I got a new pair If you're in a wares and men's physique people wear board shorts instead of you know, the normal What you would expect a bodybuilder to wear those little like briefs. It's not that and then there's also classic physique which is kind of like Harkening back to the 70s 80s classic bodybuilding like what you would think of Arnold Schwarzenegger and they wear it's like those cut off like square cut Trunks And then there's my class men's physique and we wear board shorts So I went to oc the reason why I drove all the way to oc is because last time I had a competition And I was like, oh, I'll just find a place in LA Nope, I drove to Three maybe four malls Over the course of a few hours and found nothing And had to drive to orange county anyway And I know in huntington beach on main street. I mean, there's some huge Awesome surf shops, and I know they have so many options for board shorts. So now I just I just go straight there No problem. I know I'll find something and I did so Done and let's see This was fun. Actually, yeah, I got my groceries for thursday and friday because So monday through wednesday this being my last day wednesday was the depletion phase of my diet So that meant That all carbs were cut out and I've been eating very little So depletion phase is over. It's done. This is as lean as I'm going to get throughout the whole prep and starting tomorrow and friday We start to put back in the carbs because we've deprived my body of carbs and now my body is going to suck up those carbs like a dry sponge And because I've been working out my muscles really hard Most of those carbs are going to go straight into the muscles and help build them up so that come showtime my muscles are You know, going to be swelling Bigger than normal and that's the idea is to manipulate that. So with that said I get to start off breakfast with some quaker oatmeal apple cinnamon I get some blueberries after my workout. I get a rice crispy treat Uh, yeah, I get a lot of potatoes again So it's going to be fun tomorrow's tomorrow's when like the fun really kicks in and I get to start eating again So I'm really excited about that. But you know overall, I'm having a really good time and I'm feeling really good I feel relaxed. I feel happy. I feel so much support from you guys And of course so much support from AIDS health care foundation They really came through like at the 11th hour and Decided to sponsor me for the whole the whole competition. So like I mean, I was really really really Restressing that was like my big Back and forth with whether I was even going to compete is that the amount of money that I needed in this last week to pay for things like hotel stay registration fees Tanning fees that are mandatory getting new board shorts all that stuff together. It adds up to a lot of money So thank you to ahf for taking care of that. I've been as a lot of you know, I've been working with them Since the beginning of the year There are one of the the biggest hiv AIDS organizations in the world They um, you know, do millions of hiv tests every year They offer tons of services like free health care Therapists like you name it. They have a really great system setup that's helping a lot of people not just in the us But all over the world so I love being able to work with them and to create content with them and for them and then also Um, I don't know. It's just a really great symbiotic relationship and it's about something that I really care about So that's really cool. Anyway, now I'm here and I'm currently editing the vlog from yesterday that I'm going to post Today, which will actually be yesterday when you watch this then I have to do some cardio I'll see if I can break into the gym again.
