January's prep for the Nabba Wales in May I would say is easily on track, training has never been tougher especially the 6am power walks in this awful weather; when my alarm rings at 5.30am I can't say I'm overjoyed by the thought but my motivation is visualising myself on stage in front of friends and family, no way am I going to be mediocre, I have to win!
I'm currently training 5 days out 7 in the gym, with legs being hit twice a week and 6 days of morning cardio and with just over 2 weeks into my diet changes are already occurring, I'm also half way through my posing routine before fatigue sets in during the evening practice.
I was asked recently why I take supplements, my answer is simple, "which of the following produces the quickest gains in performance or body composition
1. Training
2. Diet
3. Supplements
4. Or all of the above work equally well
Answer - supplements! Training and diet can take weeks or months for things like performance or body composition to change, supplements on the other hand can show an instant benefit to performance therefore actually speeding up bodily changes. Take caffeine as an example, taken before training acts as a stimulant therefore allowing you to perform at a greater level of intensity instantly which in turn improves performance which then leads on to bodily changes sooner. See my logic?
Anyway with around 16 weeks to go a lot can happen, staying focused on the goal ahead is selfish I know but I have great support from a great team, my wife Julie, advice coaches Neale Cranwell and Dave Nelson, animal training partners Sean Brown and Sean Mathews, great training facilities at Peak Physique gym, mind blowing Music mixed by Niko Algieri and fantastic sponsors in Muscle Finesse, Browns Office supplies and Iconx Clothing, all in all one hell of a team, I absolutely have zero excuses not to win, speak to you soon.....TRAIN WITH PURPOSE!
