Masters Nationals 11 Days out!

[Masher59]

11 days from the big National show and dialing it in. Got in my rested/fasted cardio this morning now get a little work done before I lift at 3. Don't know how many I will have in my class there but should be 15 to 30 depending on turnout. Got to finish in the top 2 for that pro card so it's time to grind grind grind. I will be in class C or D there depending on turnout because they created the new class D for the big turnout shows. Normally I'm in class C at the local shows and there is no class D.

best advice I can give about national level shows, is it is a big hurry up and wait game, so don't stress over time when your there and have food with you at all times, and watch your body. Just the stress of being at the show and the crowd being out of your comfort zone can make your body change. Easier said than done I know, but just relax and own the stage as if everyone else is battling for second place, because you got this.

NPC Master National in Pittsburgh right? Back in 2013 I had qualified by placing in top 3 in NPC Northern States in Minneapolis then proceded to the injured reserve list with some back and ab issues

Good luck Bro, be rooting for you! Since I'll be 58 soon, I may be targeting the 60 & over class. LMK how that class looks....

Thanks brother, I did the North American last year and finished 7th but I was in no where near as good of shape as I'm in now. Not going to lie I was overwhelmed and probably wasn't as crisp as I needed to be on stage either. I will be much more relaxed this time around for sure. I'm going to kick some ass.

I excited for you, lol.

Great advice that I will be sure to use, as well.

It is great to have the support of your family...........I would take the "shaky camera" syndrome, for the cheers!!

Tell them at the masters to stop just long enough to get a few good shots; I know everyone on the board would love to see how your hard work and dedication has paid off!!
