CANADIAN PHYSIQUE ALLIANCE JULY || ISSUE 36 | Page 65

1 : 15 - 1 : 30 pm My class got called to the stage and we all did our 30 second routines . After , we got to square off against each other while doing the 8 mandatory poses and 4 quarter turns required in bodybuilding . This is where we are judged on our symmetry , muscle size , level of conditioning , and posing . There were about 20 guys in the light - heavyweight bodybuilding class and they all looked incredible . I got 3rd call out in this class full of amazing athletes . Although most of the judging is done at the prejudging , it is important to look great the next day for the finals even if you did not get the first call out ( which means you are top 5 most of the time ). I still strategized to hold my condition for another 18 hours until the finals the next day . 1 : 30 - 9 pm I instantly went back to eating my normal prep meals for the remainder of the day . saturday 4 : 30 am After another night of not much sleep , I was I was getting my 3rd coat of tan in order to look sharp for finals . A few hours later I went to my trusted Tim Horton ’ s breakfast sandwich . This made me peak perfectly again for when I hit the stage . 10 am The whole class was called to the front to do a very entertaining 30 second pose down and then the top 5 in the class got to do their routine before the awards . After this , it was time to enjoy a little bit of pizza and cookies and then right back to working on being a better bodybuilder for the next show !
