So the past 4 weeks prep for this second show in my first year has been extremely tough with plenty going on in my personal life and some trips away with work etc! All boxes been ticked off and looking to bring in a fuller and improved package to this weekends fitxpo even with the hurdles in between.

Not going to lie Ive hit the stage of prep I will be glad to have a break and the body is screaming it for it now.

Some posing from tonight 2 days out before we carb load from tomorrow

[Steven]

Well todays result was exactly what the last 16 weeks have been geared towards and has truly lit the fire for the fitx show in 5 weeks time! Night tonight of enjoying a bit of food with the better half then back to the drawing board to make the winning look from first timers even better than today was ?

[Steven]

Thanks @youngoscar and @MarcHector, digging in hard and making sure every box is ticked come that first show day in a few weeks! Plenty to learn and its been a massive learning curve for me through it all

[Steven]

Some pics from last nights posing practice! Digging in deep now with just over 2 weeks to go till show day

[Steven]

So everything has now been ramped up a little more and we hit the 3 weeks out mark on Sunday.

We now have 20mins PWO cardio added in there with a drop in carbs from post workout and also intra workout carbs out.

Been working really hard throughout this prep on improving my posing and making sure come show day that its not lacking for a first timer.

Have attached some photos from last nights posing rounds.

You’ve got a good shape and your posing looks good for a first timer. Keep up the practice it will show on stage.

Don’t be afraid to push for condition, this is what will get you noticed by the judges.[/quote]
