BODY POWER EXPO 17th-19th May 2013

 

The biggest sport, fitness and nutrition event of the year has arrived again and I am stupidly excited to go back! Last year was my first time, I met top fitness model Rob Riches & PhD's Roger Snipes and Tony Pang who're all role models of mine. I saw Mr Olympia Phil "The Gift" Heath but the queue to meet him was crazy long, this year I'll be working at his stand selling "Gifted" t-shirts so I probably won't have to wait as long this time ;0) I'll be working on Saturday the 18th & Sunday the 19th, I cannot wait! It's the one and only time per year that you'll see and meet up with those amongst myself who call themselves "Fit fam" from all over the UK. There are simply too many amazing features with competitions in almost all happening for me to fit in this post to be honest, to name few...

1. Bodybuilding/Fitness modelling
2. Gymnastics, parkour and free running 
3. British Weight lifting & Powerlifting championships
4. Triathlon & Athletics
5. Brazilian jui jitsu, Muay Thai and Martial Arts

As many of you who've been following my blog will know I'm competing at the Expo on May 18th in the Physique of the Week competition. My preliminary judge is at 10.30am, they'll take a full body front picture and one from the side. (Whilst wearing board shorts, no man thongs...yet) I'll have 1 pose to choose If I make it to the top 30. No music or routines as this is a fitness competition. 

My boy Daniel Blackwell is last years winner on the Saturday which got him a PhD sponsorship! Got himself on this years flyer and you can see why. He told me to go for it this year, and I didn't have a reason not to. I believe in myself, I've worked hard and nobody can take my effort away from me.

"It's not about perfect. It's about effort. And when you implement that effort into your life...every single day, that's where transformation happens. That's how change occurs. Keep going, remember why you started."

I've been on an 11 week diet which has been nothing but hell. I've lost a total of 6kg. (Just under 1 stone which looks like it's fell off my face but we won't get into that) which would have been more If I chose to get even more shredded, say 3-4% body fat. But as It's a fitness competition I need to go more lean than shredded, say 6-8% (I've got a pump in that picture, hence the more shredded look ;0)) But I'm in the best condition I've ever been and how I do in this competition will answer the question of whether all of this was worth it! I'm excited and ready for whoever and/or whatever stands in my way! 

I don't think I've been biased to any particular sport at the Expo, I know I have. I'm 100% there for all the bodybuilding hype! (With no disrespect to the other sports!) Current Mr Olympia Phil "The Gift" Heath, Kai Greene, 2012 212lbs Mr Olympia Flex Lewis, 4x Mr Olympia Jay Cutler and record holding 8 straight Mr Olympia Ronnie Coleman who will be training at my Gym in Coventry, Future Fitness! and many more pro's all weekend. If I somehow haven't managed to convince you this isn't an event to be missed then the website will definitely have you!
