Won 1st Place Men’s Physique Short division + 5th Place Novice Men’s Classic Physique division!! . What a craaaazy two day event!! More photos to follow... busy E.A.T.I.N.G. 🐷 . #cobourgnaturals #canadianphysiquealliance #cpa #ontariophysiqueassociation #opa #hammerfitness #mensphysique #classicphysique #goodlifefitness #fitness #teamhammer #fitness #naturalbodybuilding @amerthehammer #gnccanada #gnc #allmax #allmaxnutrition @teamallmax @gnccanada #frontdoublebicep #backdoublebicep #sidechest #absandthigh @thecobourgnaturals

Novice Division, Classic Physique - Competition 1 of 2 - One minute individual routine to a song (Muse - Feeling Good) - Mandatory poses - Quarter turns (not shown) . Shot on Thursday evening by my coach Jase during our final posing session (Two days out from competition)! . It was one hell of a week as I’ve been running on one banana’s worth of carbs a day (maxed out on protein of course) while doing almost 2.5 hours of cardio + weight training combined, but in the end I think that final push really paid off. . Despite all the tough days over the last three weeks, I really enjoyed the overall experience. So many lessons learned and still comprehending! . To all my family and friends, thank you for joining me in this fascinating journey of fitness! More to come ~ . #canadianphysiquealliance #cpa #ontariophysiqueassociation #opa #hammerfitness #mensphysique #classicphysique #goodlifefitness #fitness #teamhammer #fitness #naturalbodybuilding @amerthehammer #gnccanada #gnc #allmax #allmaxnutrition @teamallmax @gnccanada #frontdoublebicep #backdoublebicep #sidechest #absandthigh #cobourgnaturals #muse #feelingood @muse #cobourgnaturals

Spent my whole Saturday with this one - my Day 1, Year 1 Ryerson Architecture friend! We’ve adulted together, through the thick and thin of school and everything life has thrown at us - the good, the bad, the ugly, and all the tasties! 🍱🍜🍝🌮🍔🍫🎂🍦🍻🥂🍽 . Nothing but love for this joy-bringing, 6-foot dancing, Ginger Beast! I hope you decide to return to Toronto from LA someday ~💃😄😍 @asharch22 @madeyoumove . #ryersonarchitecture #ryearch #architecture #yelptoronto #margaritas #baldwinvillage #torontofood #10yearsstrong #HashemLovesAshley

Reflecting on this competition prep thus far (T minus 22 days!), I realized how fortunate I’ve been in getting to meet so many incredible people that I would have otherwise missed if I didn’t take on this next challenge of my journey. . It is no longer about just “going to the gym” and cranking out some weights, but I feel like I see a much bigger picture and community that’s involved. . This whole experience has opened so many new possibilities, new connections and has exposed me to new insights - from fellow competitors, CPA judges and fitness coaches alike! 💪🙌 . Many thanks again to HammerFitness (Amer, Jase, and all the coaches and judges) for hosting the seminar at Scarborough’s Worlds Gym two weeks ago and for exposing me to industry... Looking forward to the next one coming up before April 21st! .
