CANADIAN PHYSIQUE ALLIANCE JULY || ISSUE 36 | Page 60

the last 55 hours of my
journey to prejudging
looked like along with
how I stayed tight for
finals .
Wednesday 
At this point , my body was
retaining some water . I am a
sponge when it comes to water
retention . I had a large
carbohydrate refeed a few days
prior to the show which causes
some water retention . At this
point , I had no training
sessions left and was on my
off - day nutrition plan . Meals of
just protein and only 3 of these
meals had small amount of fats
in them . No artificial
sweeteners or protein powders
were used as many individuals
can retain water by using
them . The goal is to retain as
little water under the skin as
possible .
There was no cardio and no
training . Just minor posing
practice and meal prepping in
order to get ready for the few
days in Toronto for the show . 
More posing practice was done
this evening in 10 minute
spurts . I am a big fan of short
posing practices as you are not
on stage longer than 10
minutes . I see it
counterproductive when I see
people posing for hours
straight on end .
