CANADIAN PHYSIQUE ALLIANCE JULY || ISSUE 36 | Page 66

recap This was the rundown of my prep from Wednesday until Saturday of the 2018 Toronto Pro Show Qualifier . I had the time of my life and met so many amazing athletes , old friends , and even Instagram friends . The judges and the entire CPA staff were so amazing and this event would not be nearly as successful without them . For those who have never done a show or who had no idea what the last few hours prior to a show looked like , I hope this gave you an insight into how precise everything is hour to hour in order to peak .  Oftentimes , we see somebody doing a show and we overlook the amount of effort and dedication it takes to look like that for a few minutes on stage . We also forget that although you only see one person on stage , that person being up there most of the time involves a team of coaches , friends , family members , and spouses who keep our head on track and make our lives easier . I want to thank all my friends , family , and especially my wife as this sport would be a lot harder without her . Keep chasing your dreams and give your goals 100 % of your effort !
