55 Years Old Post Open Heart Surgery 3 5 Weeks Out Posing Update

This video was made 3.5 weeks out from my first show since my Open Heart Surgery back in January of 2023. I plan to compete first at the Vancouver Open on July 6th, and then if everything is still going well, I will also compete at the Vancouver International Pro Qualifier July 13th. I am not sure if I will be competing in both Physique and Classic Physique or just Physique this time around, and what categories I will register for? Open? Masters? Grand Masters? We will see closer to the day and how I look...
Right now I feel on track with a body fat percentage in the single digits, I need to get it down at least 3-4 more points to be stage ready. This should not be a problem as I will be losing about 2 pounds of fat per week which will drop my body fat 6-8 pounds. For around every 2 pounds or so of fat, I will drop 1% body fat so this should get me where I want to be come show day.
Now I need to start my posing practice as I am a little rusty with not a lot of time to get the rust out. I feel really good and so far I am not having any food cravings or hunger issues and I still feel I have a good level of energy. As I get closer my diet will become more and more strict so that will change near the end but I should not have to suffer too much!

Couldn't ask for a better recovery. Good to see you doing what you enjoy again! Best of luck, Michael!

[@getfitover40]

Thanks so much, I am blessed with good health once again!

[@ixheim]

You've come a long way! You look great Michael.

[@getfitover40]

For sure, feel better than ever :)

[@lev1-uk3dy]

I'm so glad that you are doing great after the hearth surgery, you look healthy and well. I wish you all the very best. Good luck and stay safe, sir.

[@getfitover40]

Thank you so much! I feel healthy and plan on staying that way.

[@marcpit2806]

Interesting video man. Hope you stay healthy! Are you on TrT? Because I'm near 40 and i'm thinking about it. Bye

[@neprevazutul]

I'm glad you're ok, and I hope you're not on "gear"

[@getfitover40]

Thanks, I am very OK and I am on Testosterone as prescribed by my doctor. He has me at 60mg per week which is a very low dose. For this show for about a month I will increase it a bit but not anywhere compared to what is considered a bodybuilding dose, just enough to help with the extra workload I am doing in the gym and help with muscle recovery. I will only be on the slightly higher dose for about a month, after the show it's back to 60mg per week, I am tested every 3 months and so I need to be a good boy!

Looking great, do you still have your other KZbin channel where you review guns.

[@getfitover40]

Thanks :) That channel got cancelled by the KZbin Woke algorithm. They don't like guns much. My channel was terminated based on a single "counterfeit claim". I disputed it and asked what video or item was the claim based on, and who reported the claim but I was never given that information, yet somehow I was supposed to state my case without any knowledge of what my case was based on? Still remains a mystery.

[@jaywhitney789]

@getfitover40 Ah, matey, sorry to hear that. I used to love watching your channel. Hopefully, you have all your guns, and you're still able to get out 🎯🔫. Look good also, matey 💪🏽
