 what's up everyone Jake here it's Thursday morning it's about nine in the morning and we're at nine days out from the NZ IFBB men's physique Wellington champs and basically just checking in we've got a chess day today i actually i'm just sitting outside anytime fitness at the moment and i got talking to one of the trainers in there the other day and we got talking about you know personal training business and how i wanted to expand mine and the best ways to go about it things like that which i mentioned i think and i am about to hit a chest workout with him so he's a bit bigger than me and chest is my weakest body part so this should be interesting but i definitely need something to push me this morning i've got my trusty alpha amino which i love that's some really good shit man nice tasting and also amino energy which i'll be having throughout my workout i've had a coffee i'm feeling all right feeling lean leaner every single day that i stick to this diet and it's it's all up to me now so i've checked in with my coach again i've got a replacement replacement macros he's basically taken a few macros out up the protein down the carbs and fat stayed about the same but to be honest with you guys i think i've mentioned it before with the diet as far as macros go i'm basically counting protein i'm trying to hit a protein intake per day and then as well as that i'm doing cardio i'm training with weights and my total calorie amount has to be under you know 2300 now so basically just looking at protein and total calories and it makes it a lot easier um it means i can be a bit more flexible with my with my macros they're not stupidly low yet so it's all good and as i said to the coach this first show is just a practice run just so i can get the monkey off my back get a few few nerves out of the way hopefully and then it'll be the big one on october the 17th so anyways going to the gym now make up some aminos and we'll get cracking hopefully i can get some footage what is up just finished the chair session absolutely epic session filled with supersets we did three different supersets uh each superset had one fly movement and one press movement and it's fucking epic man i actually feel like i've got a chest for once so i thought i'd just set this shit up and uh show you guys how i'm looking quickly if i can find a good place so let's see what i look like that better not fall off what do you reckon one week two days out from india i've been in ins physique four weeks two days out of wbff fitness model we're getting it we're fucking getting it fuck feeling amazing after that not gonna lie and i'm gonna feel even better because i'm about to have some amino energy more caffeine more good feels so chest workout's done i've still got cardio to do today i decided to hit a fasted workout this morning felt pretty hungry it's pretty depleted going into it but the coffee that i had beforehand really helped which it normally does and i got through it so it was about an hour and 15 minutes and we had a really good workout uh so yeah as i said still two things to go cardio for 500 calories or you know an hour and also some posing practice as well because yeah last thing i want to do is get up on stage in a week's time and make it make a fucking fool of myself so i've been watching heaps of youtube videos on um if bb means physique posing especially uh because i've pretty much just stopped thinking about wbff now because this show even though it's a practice run it's still really really important and i think um i may do all right if i can get my pump and my water manipulation right so for now it's just grinding there's going to be no carb depletion space as such i'll probably just have a you know the first three days of the week monday tuesday wednesday low carb but not definitely not depleting fully so i'll still feel all right and then thursday start ramping up the carbs friday have a good amount of carbs and saturday morning before the show um still stack on some fast digesting carbs low fiber i'm pretty sure because i don't want to be bloated i don't want to um distend my stomach at all i want it to be as tight and as thin as possible and with that water minute water uh with that dehydration as well um it'll just be like suck right in hopefully if i'm lean enough and if i'm not i've got three more weeks to be lean enough for the big one so exciting times and once again i just have to say alpha amino delicious love it so yeah i thought i'd do a full days vlog today because i'm finally going out taking the drone out so i'm going to go around littleton where i used to live uh i might catch catch a bit of a bite to eat around there maybe something to drink and i'll go up right up the top of little tin and show you guys where i am from because it's a pretty epic place and i didn't start to realize that and i didn't start to appreciate it until i actually moved away and then when you come back and uh see it it's pretty beautiful so i will show you guys that but for now it's going home and having some breakfast
