PICOTS Fitness, Film, Fashion, Food

Governors Cup Came and went. Mannnnnn I did 4 1/2 clean eating and worked out pretty tough for this one. I had bulked up to 186lbs. and shredded down to 172lbs. thinking it would be like my last comp. The guy who took overall was shredded and weighed a buck 60, if that. WRONG!! The guys on stage this time were all 180s-190s so that was quite the gamble. I was pretty cut up but slim. Also day of I carbed up way to late and not enough. Lesson LEARNED!!!! Overall I still placed 6th over all out of 27 dudes who worked their asses off. Not bad at all. And I still got first call outs. I met some cool cats and learned some good lessons that day! Cant wait to get back into my next show. TOP SIX FIRST CALL OUTS SO NIGHT OF I WAS PRETTY SHREDDED due to a strict dieting plan by my coach Kenny Tali. It was mentally tough guys. I wanted cakes and pies and pasta and milkshakes and all that. But its worth it in the end. Trust me. Willpower and dedication with a strong team will take you to the nex...

Soooo last spring when I was working at 24 Hour fitness I decided to throw bootcamps at night just for fun and to get an extra sweat in.Anyone was welcome. Soon after I began seeking other bootcamps to participate in to learn different styles and what not. Fast forward to summer of 12 and I see this post about a bootcamp in Golden Gate park. First Person that greeted me was Krissy of BAMFIT and Rise Above Fitness who alot of people in the SOcial Media world might know as KMaeCAgs. I didnt know she was "WHO SHE WAS!" She was just cool as hell with Jedi Tattoos. I thought she was the dopeness just for that. Long story short, she knows what shes doing. She makes bootcamps fun as hell, has a huge following so you get characters to show up. Ive made some good friends there as well and met some weirdos LMAO!!! Any time shes in your area (She Travels A LOT!!) I highly recommend you go! Cant lose.

1. Accountability . Just how you can pump yourself up You can always psyche yourself out. Having that friend/ workout buddy to workout with will help keep you on a schedule. 2. Spotting & Motivation . You can lift heavier loads that you wouldn’t normally do. You can bang out more reps where you would normally give up. They are your personal trainer and like wise. 3. Knowledge . Seek someone who has experience in the fitness industry. I love working out with other trainers because you will always learn something new or a different technique. I also tend to get someone bigger than me to transition myself to training stronger. 4. Happiness . Mood affects your workouts. Having someone to vent / talk to while they motivate and push you to work out is a plus. Talk about goal setting and what ever else brings you a positive experience.

So yes, I got to have my tunes when I'm working out and Kelly Rowlands new song Motivation has a dope mellow beat that sets the mood for getting in that workout!!!
