Because nothing says "fitness" like graffiti and industrial yards. I'm getting real excited to shoot here tomorrow with @ronperronfitography. And then, sushi 🍣 🍣 🍣. #thewanderingmeathead #vancouver • • • • • #massthetics #masstheticsclan #doyouevenlift #meatheadproblems #teammpt #legworkouts #legday #gymflow #gymrat #bodybuilding #truenutrition #ironrebel #CBBFF #BCABBA #mirin #instabodybuilding #gains #quadzilla #swole #trainhard #shredded #bodybuildingnation #meathead #fitfam #muscle #elitefts #bodybuildinglife

Meathead rule #58: don't attend a wedding without first getting a pump. #pumpedtobepercias #thewanderingmeathead #wherethetacosat • • • • • #massthetics #masstheticsclan #doyouevenlift #meatheadproblems #teammpt #legworkouts #legday #gymflow #gymrat #bodybuilding #truenutrition #ironrebel #CBBFF #BCABBA #mirin #instabodybuilding #gains #quadzilla #swole #trainhard #shredded #bodybuildingnation #meathead #fitfam #muscle (at Quintana Roo, Mexico)

An underrated and highly enjoyable part of peak week: bringing swagger back. Many thanks to Darren at @therefugeyeg for knocking this cut out of the park. This'll do nicely for my sister's graduation, Nationals, and Dread Lord @joeypercia's wedding. #roadtonationals #thewanderingmeathead #hairgains • • • • • #massthetics #masstheticsclan #doyouevenlift #meatheadproblems #teammpt #legworkouts #legday #gymflow #gymrat #bodybuilding #truenutrition #ironrebel #CBBFF #BCABBA #mirin #instabodybuilding #gains #quadzilla #swole #trainhard #shredded #bodybuildingnation #meathead #fitfam #muscle #elitefts #bodybuildinglife (at The Refuge Barber & Supply)

To loosely quote @andyfrisella, "How you *feel* is irrelevant. What you *do* in spite of how you feel is what matters and drives you forward." • At this point, all the fasted cardio, training, and running on zero carbs aren't leaving me feeling like a million bucks. But in just over 5 days, every single moment will have been worth it. Besides, at the end of the day, contest prep is a fascinating process to go through. End half-baked, brain-fog-heavy thought. #roadtonationals #thewanderingmeathead #picklepump • • • • • #massthetics #masstheticsclan #doyouevenlift #meatheadproblems #teammpt #legworkouts #legday #gymflow #gymrat #bodybuilding #truenutrition #ironrebel #CBBFF #BCABBA #mirin #instabodybuilding #gains #quadzilla #swole #trainhard #shredded #bodybuildingnation #meathead #fitfam #muscle #elitefts #bodybuildinglife (at Goodlife Fitness - Brewery District)

Meathead training essentials: short shorts, bright blue shoes, wrist straps, and a big 'ol bottle of Adamantium Aminos. #roadtonationals #thewanderingmeathead #swolverine • • • • • #massthetics #masstheticsclan #doyouevenlift #meatheadproblems #teammpt #legworkouts #legday #gymflow #gymrat #bodybuilding #truenutrition #ironrebel #CBBFF #BCABBA #mirin #instabodybuilding #gains #quadzilla #swole #trainhard #shredded #bodybuildingnation #meathead #fitfam #elitefts #bodybuildinglife (at Goodlife Fitness - Brewery District)

Quite possibly my favourite no-carb meal: ground turkey, a single egg, zucchini, onion, mushrooms, cabbage/carrot/radish mix, cucumber, and tomato. As per tradition, topped with mustard and served with a glass of Sprite Zero. #roadtonationals #thewanderingmeathead #salty (at Westmount, Edmonton)

Currently sitting at exactly 3 weeks out from Nationals, here’s a quick update. + I’m in the fortunate position of already being about 90% ready. Just waiting a little longer before pulling back on cardio and leg training, to give them a break, allow them actually recover, and bring down inflammation. + Then it's a matter of being doused in spray-tan, and filling out for the big dance. + In contrast to last year's prep, this one has been night and day across the board. + Energy is higher, training sessions are better, recovery is on point, and aside from the expected hunger and perpetual fatigue, no ill side effects. + Being able to cruise into Nationals without having to do anything drastic, panic about conditioning, or deal with any health issues is an absolute blessing, and I can't wait to see how that translates onto the stage. + I'm also sitting 14 pounds heavier than what I stepped on stage at last year, in drastically better condition. + So, that's pretty neat. #roadtonationals #thewanderingmeathead #thepumpisthecure

I couldn't get a ridiculous chest & triceps pump and NOT practice posing post-workout. #thepumpisthecure #roadtonationals #thewanderingmeathead (at Goodlife Fitness - Brewery District)
