Lost in the streets of Zurich

I’m in Italy. I’m eating a lot of food. I am happy.

My first show: My Process

For those that love fitness - this one is for you. Here’s how I did my show and got in my best shape to date.

THE BULK

Training started in October (Pic 2). I rolled up lacking a LOT of size. In bodybuilding, your off season is EVERYTHING and we had some serious size to put on. I began bulking, lifting heavy (progressive overload + time under tension + QUALITY high calorie foods = proper way to a successful offseason. I definitely could have used a couple more months of a strong off season, but we made it work.

End of my bulk I landed at 234 (Pic 3). Biggest I’ve ever been but I felt strong, healthy and still had my abs (but the burl was real and none of my clothes fit lol). Bulking mistakes I made in the past where just eating crap and not training as hard as I could. Keeping quality food high and training hard did the trick though.

THE CUT

Start of prep I hit up a local IFBB pro to see if he could help. I had no idea how to pose and wasn’t sure if I even had the build to do well in my division. I wanted someone that could see me in person and make adjustments. I went over to his place, and he took a look at me and said we had lots of work to do (pic 4)
(Ps - if you want to get to an intermediate/advanced level in your physique you HAVE to get someone else in it. YES - I know how to train, eat, and get sub 10% bf but getting someone else in the mix keeps you from second guessing)

Prep wasn’t too bad at first. Minor calorie cuts but we went the meal prep route over macros (for the fitness nerds out there - DUDE this is the MOVE. If mentally you can stomach eating the same thing everyday it made prep easy (especially working full time, being with all the people all the time, building business, etc.) It was SUPER convenient, eliminated daily decision making with food and I will be doing this from now on to stay in shape year round.

My first show: My people

I didn’t place but I went home the RICHEST man.

I am closing out the weekend feeling BEYOND loved by my people. My brothers and sisters flew and drove from ALL over the place to watch me be on stage for 15 seconds. Family that couldn’t be there called and texted NONSTOP.
Yall CANNOT find a family like mine.

THEN - Walked out on stage at the night show and received more hype than any competitor….SHOCKER…Kathryn invites our whole crew to show up and support me (+20 people from back home that drove out to support - BRO WHATTTTTT)
You guys are MY PEOPLE!!!!!!

To all that sent text messages, DMs, Cookies, encouragement, Venmo’s, calls and drove out for me - I LOVE YOU and feel truly overwhelmed at how loved I feel.

I could give two craps about a trophy when I have ALL OF YOU.

Thanks for letting me be weird, eat my meal preps all those nights, spend WAAAAY too much time at the gym and loving me in my low energy hangry moments too :)

MY PEOPLE = MY TROPHY

My first show: My wife

When I asked you if I should do a show your response said it all - “BRO DUH”

Lol I don’t think we knew what we were stepping into. But when I said yes, YOU said yes.

Yes to all the date nights where you had a drink and I didn’t.
Yes to all the early morning fasted cardio sessions.
Yes to all the dates where I had to eat meal prep and we didn’t go out.
Yes to all the late night training.
Yes to all the stinky tilapia breath.
Yes to all the short tempered hangry Nick moments.
Yes to ALL the daily sweaty laundry.
You said yes to EVERY HOUR of this 8 month prep.

You loved and supported me and my weird hobby like it was your own. You told me we were finishing this thing when I thought about not doing it anymore halfway through.

I wouldn’t NOT have been on that stage if it wasn’t for you.

You guys CANNOT find a wife like mine.

Kathryn Grace you are my trophy.
