What a weekend. Traveled with Nick (Eastside) and Peter (BeastMode) to AM National over the weekend. Peter wasn’t planning on competing at National after a knee injury but Nick needed a ride to LA. Peter was 6+lbs over after arriving in LA, we hit the gym for a 5 mile run. The night after we hit the 24 hours fitness sauna but got kicked out twice in 2 different location, we ended up at K-Town LA at a 24 Hours Sauna at 3AM. When we arrived at the event Peter was still 1lb over. It really annoys me when people that are trying to make weight, they jump around in their GI’s and hope they’ll make weight by the time they step on that scale. Put on some hoodie, go outside and run. Peter made weight by the way but it wasn’t easy.
It was a great event, Peter podium, waiving his semi final after injuring his knee but the way he was performing, he was going to take the whole thing home again. Would of been cool for back to back gold.
What’s really cool about all this that their coach Alan (Gumby) drove down to LA in order to support his students (Nick, Peter, Ed, and Konstantine). The competition team at Heroes is very small and I think a competitor like Nick, Peter and Ed are going to push the rest of the team to start competing more often not just locally. Hoping to see a strong Heroes team representation at US OPEN.
