dude you love this thing she loves this thing say YouTube I'm getting some teeth so it's time for me to start having meat puree oh get it girl go what are you doing what is up YouTube back in Florida the death settling from yet another Olympia Extravaganza it was a a beautiful year this year going to give a quick little recap of little little things but I'm not going to go too deep because I will be doing so in the future we got a fun little project planned of the culmination of my career and my

story and a lot of cool things so more to come with that but yeah the kids retired and people keep being like you must have so much free time now what are you going to do with all your free time and I'm like I have free time in prep I nap all day and I eat and I train and it's beautiful I came home to just chaos and busyness so it's all good though there's a lot of stuff going on business life family going to keep me busy but it's definitely a Bittersweet thing to be

stepping away from something that I truly can confidently say that I mastered like in all aspects of it and like when I think of someone asking me like what it takes to become a champion I feel like it's Mastery in all aspects before you're a champion not just like being a bodybuilder but like the trust you have in your body the way you treat people the way you act the way you know people would talk about you behind closed doors I think treating like the SEC guard at the Olympia and the stage Marshall the same

way you treat Mr Olympia just the way you carry yourself in all aspects of something that you know I my family just instilled me to be who I was and I feel like I carried that and that was part of the standard I wanted to set and being a proper champion and this year was like the culmination of feeling like a master at something I I was so calm all Peak Week the end of my prep I was super chill I was then I was very confident in my abilities I just like believed that I

was going to win more so than I ever had and I was able to just enjoy the whole process play and have fun while doing something at the highest level and being the best in the world so it was truly a privilege you know and it took me a decade to get to the point of being so confident and everything to the point where like H I'd send a check in h and we at a different time zone I'm up at 6:00 a and I'm like I dropped the pound he's going to tell me not

to do cardio and up my carbs a little bit so I would do that and it's what he would say and I knew what my body needed and it wasn't like a stress of what needs to get done it was just I it was like art it was flow Pure Flow State whatever the [ __ ] you define as Flow State my mind and body were just like flowing through prep and I knew what I needed to do to win the Olympia get there and do it so it was it was fun it was a

good time but it was time to step away from it you know it's adds a lot of I've said this in my speech a lot of mental stress and sacrific a lot of mental peace of just constantly you know perfecting all those things everything being about how you look how you recover how you perform all that it's it's a lot on me for sure and I've I've it's been a privilege to have six years winning Mr Olympia getting to hear my name called like that and it just felt like it was time to wrap that

up you know I didn't feel like there was something in my life that I was missing and that more olympas and more olympas and more olympas and more sacrifice would add more to my heart I feel like my heart was full and I have so much and there were small things it was taking away from and it was just time to to end that Journey you know I a little bit of my fire was gone that grit it takes in those shitty moments just to push through I could tell that it was kind of diminishing

and I didn't want to be that guy who kind of got lazy and forgot what hard work was or lost his passion and kept pushing just for egotistical reasons and ended up losing an Olympia or not showing up at my best and winning not at my best or anything like that so it was time to step away time for someone to take my spot they can set the standard for classic critique now going forward and they can have the honor and the privilege of what it feels like to have their name called so very excited

about that someone special is going to step in my shoes cuzz they've been been a hell of a amazing group of guys that I've been competing against for the last eight years at the Olympia been the Olympia for eight years won the last six and there's been some awesome people have been able to compete with and some crazy physiques so you know I'm hoping someone steps up their game I hope they all step up their game and this division becomes even [ __ ] crazier than it is right now because classic physique is the greatest

division in my opinion a little biased but that's what I think so yeah I mean don't really even know what else to say trying not to eat cookies every 5 minutes right now I eat like chicken and rice and then in between I'm like I'm going to go in the pantry and have some granola and cookies because why not so it is what it is just enjoying life a little bit right now trying not to get too fat we got a photo shoot and stuff coming up so staying in shape for that yeah you know

it's not the end of YouTube so don't stress about that it's not the end of me trying to put on lots of muscle be jacked and all that fun stuff but it's less Mr Olympia style so now I can take you guys on the Journey of not full swing Mr Olympia but some nice if it fits your macro style diet staying in good shape but not bulking like crazy and having fun with life and staying jacked and enjoying life so that's what's going to be coming appreciate you guys for kind of tuning in for my

journey like I said this isn't the culmination there's lots of stuff that's coming it's very exciting very very exciting that I will share with you guys soon so till then we live life normally and we move on with it so that's it welcome back to the gym I've had a [ __ ] shite show of a day and I'm very late for being home for Courtney so I pretty much came home from the Olympia and was thrown into like [ __ ] corporate board meetings and I was so tired sitting there like I was on

stage of the Olympia days ago and now I'm sitting in meetings trying to use my brain and I was not all there I was like falling asleep like it was rough but eating a lot of cookies living the dream and I got thrown into the fire of work because I went for 4 weeks before the Olympia so I've been busy as [ __ ] trying to stay not fat so been training doing my thing but hit a little bit of shoulders and triceps today I literally have like 30 minutes to get the [ __ ]

out of here so I'm going to just run through it catch up with you guys later going to train after the Olympia feel like hell last week everything hurt and now I'm just so much weaker so I got to get back into it I probably lost all my muscle in one week CU competing not actually but feels like it he does it feel weird training without a purpose now a little bit I'm very impatient like I'm here for 20 minutes I'm like [ __ ] is it only me 20 minutes my work not done feels

weird and I can't like rest for 2 minutes between sets I like want to super set everything and just move feels weird very weird my body's also still like just in pain from drying out being so lean for so long so got a photo shoot this weekend staying shredded we'll see what's after that you never know oh e e all right kids the wrap on this video retired tum going to eat some cookies a fuel up after that workout just kidding I'm actually trying not to eat cookies it's just my subconscious but yeah that's literally

that's it so goodbye peace out
