Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

How are you feeling about the meet bro , All set ?

I really am, feeling ready and can't wait to get there and see what I'm capable of.

Joints have been aching a little today as I rest up away from the gym, but that should be gone by tomorrow. I'm definately confident that I have a good chance of winning, but you never know who's going to turn up and lift some crazy poundages though.

My goals for the meet are...

** Equal or beat my 913lb total at a lighter bodyweight (looks like I'll be at least 3lb lighter than at last years Raw Champs)
** Win my class
** Finish top 5

Have a great meet MF!
You're already a champ on VBB.com!

Thanks guys, appreciate the support.

I've got some anger and motivation for this meet, just found out today that one of my good friends has been diagnosed with cancer and given a year to live. He starts chemo today, he's 4yrs older than me and was my cabinmate and gym partner when I worked on the QE2.



Will be dedicating the meet to both him and my mother, who's slowly recovering after a brain aneurysm and stroke she suffered a couple of months ago.

+1

Really sorry to hear about your friend mate some of the worst things happen to the best people glad to hear your mother is recovering well my friend.
So excited about your meet, nail that 192.5 deadlift and 125 squat man you got this, we're all routing for you!!

+2 on that

Good to hear about mother's recovery but yes its sad when a close friend is in such a scenario , i hope the added motivation gives you all the push you need to kill this one .

hope you friend is ok

Tell your friend that he's got support all the way from Canada! Make sure he stays positive, it's so important in the fight.
Watching a loved one go through a cancer battle is practically as difficult as actually going through it yourself, I hope you're doing ok.
Good luck on saturday, you're gunna kill it! You've got the motivation of 3 people, and the support of everybody here! (If you've never looked through the smilies, you should...they're hilarious lol)

Shit, got on a little late to wish you luck, but here it is none the less. You're going to kill it!

I'm so excited for you! kill it man you're a pro! I may be asleep when you post results and vids etc so I'll check them out tomorrow and chat to you then!

So yeah, I had a pretty good day. Apart from missing my 231 bench, I nailed all other 8 of my attempts



Won my class and finished 4th overall by Wilks formula (weighed in at 139lb). Goal was to be top 5 so I did that.

Deadlift was a 3xbw pull so that was another of my goals, possibly could have got 192.5kg and yes I probably could have got a 125kg squat. All in all a great day and I'm not too bummed about missing my last bench attempt. Video to come, food and beer first though !!
