Well, its a month from show time and I am starting to feel the excitement, anxiety and pressure all at once. This is a small show for the IFBB but a big show for my career and after finding out Silvio Samuel is doing this show I have really begun to visualize callouts. If I end up in a callout with Silvio its all in the judges hands but at least I will be ready mentally.
Contest prep has been strong this week, I'm still not that hungry and still around 265lbs. I feel like I am getting harder and drier as the days pass but the weight isn't changing much so the scale is making me play mind games with myself. Part of a bodybuilders prep is the mind games he/she must endure the final weeks before a show. Those who can focus will succeed.
Career wise I received an incredible push from the Houston Show promoters since they decided to put me on their show poster as a headliner. This is a big deal for me since me and Silvio are the only bodybuilders on it.
This week I also finished filming another installment to my DVD (coming soon). This week we filmed a good Hamstring and Calve workout and with only a few sessions left to go it should be complete sometime after the Olympia so keep your eyes peeled.
Consistency is Key,
