Hey everyone! I hope you are having a great week and enjoying some of the last few warm days, at least where I’m at. I have been extremely busy the past week or two with work, traveling to Las Vegas for Mr. Olympia and diving right back into school. So I just wanted to share an update and my experience while I was down in Las Vegas.
First off, it made me sad when I went searching for my Gotu Kola pills in my bag, I was disappointed to not find them. I forgot them back home so I was not able to stay consistent with taking my 6 pills a day. I had all of my other supplements (multivitamin, fish oil, thermogenic) except the most important for this update. So with that being said below is my 6 week comparison photo.
If you remember some of the benefits of Gotu Kola, I would definitely say in combination of my diet, exercise, and consistency, I am seeing a difference in my chest. It has only been 6 weeks, and taking on this opportunity has allowed me to reflect on how far I have come. I wish I had more pictures of me with my shirt off but I was so self conscious at the time, it just wasn’t going to happen. I look forward to many more weeks, using Gotu Kola to see what may come.
As I continue to write and produce more, people continue to come up to me at the gym, outside of school or work, and let me know how much they appreciate my efforts. It is really inspiring to have a handful of individuals that follow me on my journey. It makes all the difference to have people behind you on your efforts to change your own life as well as the lives of others. So I will keep you updated with Gotu Kola soon enough. I have decided to extend the comparison photos and updates to every 3 weeks instead of every 2. So the next update will be 3 weeks from now and I hope you will see even more of a change when I return with another comparison photo.
Well let me give you the rundown of our experience in Vegas…unforgettable! First off, we got to return to the greatest place to have AYCE (All You Can Eat) Sushi and of course, Raising Cane’s. It was such a blessing to have that awesome food again. Just to put into perspective, I put away 12 rolls, 16 pieces of nigiri style, and 4 orders of sashimi. I could have eaten more but decided to take it easy. So that was one of the great moments last weekend.

Next up, was of course the Mr. Olympia Expo. The expo was from 10-5, Friday and Saturday. Friday we lined up early but not early enough. We had to park at a nearby hotel parking garage because the parking lot filled so quickly. Once we got into the expo, it was incredible to see the efforts of each company with their booth representing their supplement or product line. It was the largest convention center halls I had ever been in. Friday I met some really cool and popular fitness pros.
Saturday, we lined up even earlier to get in right as it started and I cannot tell you how many sample packets of supplements we got in total. We ended up getting over 6 reusable grocery bags full of stuff including shirts, shakers, food, and supplements of all kinds. It was one of the most memorable experiences I have had and we cannot wait until next year’s Olympia!
In the mean time, keep an eye out for my upcoming video on my Youtube channel of all of our memories while at Olympia. I hope it will be done by the end of this week but I might throw it into next weeks post as well. Until them, continue achieving your greatest fitness goals and never give up. You can achieve anything if you but simply put your mind to it!
