Team Universe Prep Article Series! Follow me!
I am happy to share that I will be chronicling my training and prep, in its entirety via a weekly article series here on BodyBuilding.com’s main site! I am excited to do this as I have been ‘prepped’ by a great Team for the last two years for posing, nutrition. I have always done my own training and only relied on coaching for dietary and posing/presentation needs. However, I will be doing my own prep in a manner of speaking with some private, outside "ghost" nutritional assistance. The majority of my nutrition will be based off John Berardi’s Precision Nutrition System and it’s principals. Those familiar with Dr. Berardi’s knowledge base, know that he is certainly worthy of the praise he gets. I will however be utilizing a more severe version of his principals, which I will outline in my article.
This year I am going to Team Universe Figure Nationals in NYC on September 19th. This is very daunting, I have never been to a national level show as a competitor. I have worked pro shows with NPC shows attached to them, and I know even in Denver, it was a very big audience, just phenominal. So I cannot imagine the magnitude of NYC. I am intimidated by the though for sure, but really excited.
I am going to be doing a complete series of articles on my prep from start to stage day; including my food prep, my gym/home training, and even the tidbits like training with my kids, down to tan/color application, suit preparation, and the big day onstage. Some will have video updates, but all will have weekly and detailed progress pics. I need to be held accountable and who better than the BodyBuilding.com loyal member base?
I will be taking my first set of pics specifically for Team Universe, tomorrow Saturday the 26th of June and writing up the article to submit to Will W.. Team Universe is 12 weeks from tomorrow! So look for my article soon on the main site and follow along and please… comment! critique! help! I will take any and all genuine advice/reply. I will post the links as soon as I get it
