Yesterday, friend and fellow pro competitor Dr, Brian Cressman, M.D., came over with his wife for a practice posing session. While Brian and I went through our symmetry and mandatory rounds, his wife video taped us so we could watch afterwards and critique our posing style and form. This was fun and a good way to prepare for Saturday’s competition. Brian will compete in the Men’s Master Pro 40-55 class and I am entered in the Men’s Master Pro 55+ class.

I’m feeling great. I’m upbeat and focused. I’ve cut carbs and will load them later in the week. Water and salt are high. I’m in the zone. I’m confident I will be my best ever for this one.
