- This is Brandon Curry.
You're 15 Mr. Olympia.
And this is a full day of eating with me.
Yeah.
All right guys, I'm here
at the Arnold Classic Championships.
If I can win the Arnold Classic and the Olympia this year,
I'll be one of the first guys to do it twice,
two times in a row.
So this is my mission for this year.
I had a 10 week prep in Kuwait.
Training in Kuwait is pretty much like a training camp.
Basically, all I focus on is eat, sleep and training.
So I'm eating to recover,
I'm sleeping to recover,
and I'm just training to make the progress.
So if it's not about body building,
it's probably not included.
We're doing two a day training.
We're training every body part at least twice a week
at the heat of the prep.
As we get closer to the show,
of course we pull back a little bit, let the body recover
so we can come in and respond to what we're trying to do.
We're bringing into condition.
All right, this is what a typical day in Kuwait
will look like you.
(upbeat music)
Generally, when I'm in Kuwait,
I wake up about seven o'clock.
I get going drinking some water.
I kind of get myself dressed
cause I'm going right to the gym.
And then I'm just back to the room,
just to eat my first meal.
Typically my first meal includes 350 grams of potatoes,
220 to 200 grams of chicken, two or three eggs,
maybe some egg whites in the mix of that as well.
I do not count calories.
We do everything by scale weight,
everything is measured by scale weight.
So I mean anywhere from 200 grams on the scale
to 200 grams of protein per meal,
and then for carbohydrates that can go all the way
up to 400 grams all the way down to nothing in some meals.
But typically the low end on that is 200 grams
of scale weight of carbs.
(upbeat music)
After first meal, typically I go back to the room
and I take a nap.
I may lay down for a couple hours
and then I'm up again to eat my next meal
which typically is about chicken
and maybe anywhere from 200 grams to 300 grams of rice.
And that'll be my meal before I go train.
Train for no longer, probably 90 minutes if the most,
but depending on what body part we work,
we'll do my workout.
I take a preworkout of course, just to aid in recovery,
get the recovery process started
before the training is even finished.
The postworkout meals, typically either salmon or stake.
And typically I would have about 250 grams
of sweet potato with that meal as well.
But when I get deeper into prep and the carbs go down,
I'm doing green salads in the meal
but maybe a little avocado for some fat in there as well.
Typically when I'm high on the carbs,
I stay away from the fiber for digestion reasons.
Cause I don't wanna be too full,
fiber slows everything down.
Fullness is the enemy when you're trying
to get in a lot of calories.
(upbeat music)
Typically after that, probably I'm laying down
and gonna take a little nap.
And then after that I'm eating my next meal
which probably consists of 200 to 250 grams of rice
and 220 grams of chicken.
After my second workout, generally it's time to eat again.
I either have steak or salmon
depending on what I had earlier.
If I'm deep into prep, it'll be a white fish time
and some green salad.
(upbeat music)
And then after that, it's my last meal.
It'll be about 220 grams of fish again.
And like I said, a green salad.
So if I have carbs, maybe like 200 grams of rice
and that'll be, I think that was the six meal of the day.
So generally I eat six meals per day.
(upbeat music)
Used to cheat on a double quarter pounders
with Coke, large fry, maybe a apple pie
or something like that.
Modern day in these shorter preps,
we treat more with sushi.
So we just have a big sushi spread.
We order sushi too, pretty much cool.
(laughing)
Water is interesting in the desert
'cause depending on what time of year it is,
it's gonna really depend on how much water you drink.
I know you can consume three liters on a warmer day
and warmer mornings.
When it's cooler, when it's wintertime,
I find myself not needing as much water to stay hydrated.
So it just depends on what time of year it is in the desert.
In the wintertime, it's very nice, very, very mild,
but in Kuwait in the summertime,
it can get really, really hot.
(chuckles)
All right guys, thanks for joining me on my day of eating.
It can get a lot done with consistency guys.
Please stay healthy, please stay fit,
and please watch out for your lifestyle.
