we are actually looking at the future and it came out of nowhere and he is now
top ten in the world tons of quality muscle really good shape
and his conditioning is always improving I think he's gonna be one of the next
big things in bodybuilding I think he's got a tremendous amount of potential
I thought your physique was absolutely incredible this guy at six feet he's the
next coming of Ronnie Coleman great genetics great structure the cleanest
lines of the show the freshest looking muscle this is what we're looking at as
far as the future of bodybuilding I think this is going in the right
direction Mr. Patrick Moore Patrick Moore Patrick Moore
once I hit the Olympia stage things just kind of like blew up in a sense because
it's like overnight no one knows who you are you just come on the biggest stage
in bodybuilding and you actually look like you belong there
it's early usually quiet around here in the morning get up and get going
late night last night man trying to cook get stuff ready for today it's
a lot of blow and go trying to do this sport and work at the same time like 75
grams of this I usually do it after fasted cardio so just kind of get it
ready cause once I get back it's kind of like just got to get dressed then get to work
back to the lower food plan today but that's how it goes it's a lot of up and
down but this is what it is like maybe five eight more week seven nine two
shows back to back this is a routine you get late nights early mornings
no camero today it's cool but you know when you work you gotta watch how you
spend your money so you can't go crazy trying to fill this thing up with gas
every day so you got to have your everyday vehicle you know you have to be
able to get up early if you want to do this sport because they'll get to the
times where you have to eat those meals which is obviously a big component and
talked about all the time is eating and you have to get up and get started because
if you try if you like me you have to work you have to plan your day your
workout has to be around a certain time and sometimes you have to work out early
in the day even though you might like might not like it and if you have to get
meals in before you have to get up earlier and start eating there's times I
eat at you know five o'clock in the morning I don't want to but I have to
have two meals in before you train yeah if I want to have a good workout I could
train with lower food but when it's the plan it's a plan and you
have to stick to the plan
during prep this would be one of your best friends if you're doing your job we learn to have a
long-lasting relationship with the Stairmaster
I'm going to do 45 minutes this morning nothing crazy I'm actually only assigned to
do 30 so I may just do that and get out of here
just on that off plan yeah with where we are we did two hours last prep but
we started this prep at a lower body fat percentage so we had to be careful when
starting
to not go crazy cause you don't want to bite into the muscles and
we're going for a more full harder package this time around and at the
Arnold so other guys are doing a lot probably because they have to they're trying
to get tighter but we started off pretty tight
so it's easy to bring the amount down we just had to be careful to not do too
much cardio while you're trying to keep as much size as possible
that wraps that up pretty quick pretty mindless now I'm up of course your
little slow-moving earlier but once the blood gets going it's time to get to work about
how much torture that is for someone trying to lose weight what a burger in
the parking lot with the gym oh you just did 30 minutes of cardio come on over
have some taquitos
I was always muscular as a kid and it's funny but I think I was two years old
maybe and there was a picture in there it was Christmastime and I always loved
cars and I was doing the front double bicep pose and then I noticed it in
other pictures as I was growing up so I was I idolized like action figures when
I was growing up so we would see the wrestlers a little he-man toys or
whatever so that's we wanted to look like it's funny because now that I go
back and look at pictures when I was teenager it's just a much smaller
version of what I am now so I always had that ability to be muscular and you know
now it's just aimed at actually growing that muscle now it's time to go to work
and I since I don't want to do the back and forth once I'm out of the house I'm
pretty much out of the house for the day so I have to take all my food with me so
I'm doing now is just kind of weighing out what I'm gonna have for meal two meal
threes in the bag and then of course I have meal four and five so this is just
your basic ten ounces of chicken and one cup of rice so this is the part you guys
might not have seen I just put in get the chicken wash it clean it put it in
the oven 20 minutes and that's that put it in to go container and that's the
mrs. dash season there now it's on there because you don't like I said I do lower
sodium when I'm getting closer to a show and so there's two chicken and rice
meals so this will be meal three meal four then of course I'll have the fish twice
and that'll wrap it up it's nothing special today today is a very boring
meal plan and here this is a 75 gram whey protein shake so I take this with
me I'll have this after my workout so this is immediately after the workout
and then about 45 minutes or so after I'll have the solid meal and that's so
that food of this the protein shake absorbs quick so you want fast
absorption after post-workout because that muscle is going it's eating
so it's kind of got a got to get those nutrients in there and this is a little
trick to I keep with me in case I get hungry I'll keep a can of tuna and I'll
just eat it plain it's just by itself like me all day if you have to work and
you're moving around you keep something extra that you can put in your body if
you're just that hungry so you're not tempted to cheat on your diet that'll
give you to about eight hours which is about a typical work day every prep is a
little bit different because what happens when you break a body down to a
certain body fat percentage and however long it took you to do that whether it
was 10 weeks 12 weeks 16 weeks you're actually changing the way your body
stores fat or it burns energy because as you put on more muscle your metabolic
rate is going to change so every prep you're almost kind of depending on the
changes you make and how drastic you could be working with a completely
different body we prep and it's twelve weeks and then we get a final physique
and then were like man that was good but we this wasn't quite like this we could
have been more full you know why we weren't conditioned enough or we could
be harder and bigger and and then you have to change it according to the
lineup or the judges feedback because they'll tell you hey can you do this and
so then you're back to the drawing board like man okay I know on this prep I
looked like this so how can I take that and mix it with this prep where I look like
this so then you get a conditioned physique of more full and hard physique
and then you have to put those together and then like I said that's still not an
exact recipe because it could be a different physique that you're
working with so it's an ever-changing evolutionary process we're trying to
learn the body with foods it's never gonna stay the same cause your body's gonna
change
it's not an immediate financial gain where you turn pro if anything you're
actually gonna start losing even more money because you know at the next level
and things like food become even more important so where you could get by
missing a meal here or missing a meal there maybe not buying your sports
supplements or whatever you need for your prep all that stuff becomes
necessity at the pro level because now everyone is there at a high level so you
got to keep your income coming in because even then you don't make money
automatically you still have to win the show and you're going up against people
who have experience so you're spending just like if you're an amateur all this
money on a prep you're putting in all the time all the effort for a result
that you just might not get yeah I know I know let them cool off
we're gonna go ten tens yeah you wanted an arm day so I'ma let you have it every
every little bit of a lot of people think when you're a personal trainer
like you make your own schedule in a sense you do but then at the same time
you're providing a service for people who have their schedule so if you want
to make money you kind of have to work with them on their schedule as well so
you don't get that freedom to kind of come and go as you please for me it's
very challenging because my meal time is never exact it's sporadic sometimes
because like I said I'm have to adjust my schedule based on my clients so with
that going on some time my training time might switch an hour here and there and you
know you just have to roll with the punches
so we got a guy here in Houston called ice pick so his name's that we call
the ice pick because he uses his elbows and his elbows are sharp I mean they this
guy has perfected this technique where he does you know fascia release and deep
muscle therapy with his elbow it makes everything softer sort of expands better
and especially whenever you're doing posing you want these muscles to be as
relaxed as you can so that you can get them as full as you can all my body
builders need to have the tissue very soft and pliable not hard and rigid
tight through this whole area which doesn't allow this nice big stingray looking
flare to happen so it was kind of like see where now it flares out like this so
it's kind of like like that just pull back you know wouldn't it wouldn't
release and open up fully he could twist and turn all he wants to yes the flesh
wouldn't go there so the lat spread is done because you you
roll this around the front so you kind of roll your shoulder and pull your
shoulder on scrounge a shoulder blade it's out here if you if you had you're
stuck here because it's bound up in the middle it takes away for once you can
fully open up then it pops out way more dimension and that's what we're
trying to create with moving fascia around yeah
no throw it out
there you go
Burger Time People's Choice best burger burgers dogs just right
can I have a cheeseburger with uh I'll just have just mustard and cheese on it mustard meat and
cheese and the little cheeseburger the same way and
let's have a large Cajun fry
and a regular diet coke wake up every morning send the progress pictures and
based on how we're looking and also what I'm training then that's when they will
decide like if he's going to give me a treat so it's actually kind of funny
because you know there's a joke that goes around bodybuilders are like you
got to eat like a dog so it's the same thing every day and when we get a cheat
meal that's like a treat just like you give a dog a treat for doing their job
right then it's kind of the same thing the normal cheeseburger
I believe it's 900 calories or 980 and then I have the little cheeseburger so
it's just a smaller version it's 620 so that alone is 1500 calories on a normal
day I probably I won't even get actually 2300 calories so as you can see in one
meal with just the burgers that's not including the fries
the fries are another 1,300 calories so I'm already at nearly 3,000 calories
with just one meal so you can see those numbers really start to add up once I
stack in the extra cups of rice I have a 12 ounce potato with the 12 ounce steak
also later this evening so it's a very very heavy day that's why I say it's
literally probably about three times the normal caloric intake for the day and
it's just a shock to the muscle of course you can only do so much you have to learn
your body you do that you'll be good if you don't you run a risk of not knowing
what's going on you know oh let's see is that me
okay let's see what's in the goodie bag oh wow
so you guys wanna see look at all those fries oh man I'm telling you
life's good right now the five guys experience was heavenly gonna be honest
it had been so long since I had a burger and fries so yeah I'm a real by the book
guy if I get a plan I stick to it I don't deviate from it if I may have like
I said earlier a rice cake or something if I'm just starving but the plan is a
plan and I stick to it so that was just to shock the body and give it something
to actually burn before we start actually biting into the muscle because
that will happen if you're staying on the plan that's low in calories you'll
start to eat up that muscle during cardio and part of training so it was
good it was necessary very very tasty and I don't know when it'll happen again
but uh maybe in nine weeks whenever these shows are over but it was good it
was I definitely needed it
what's next for Patrick Moore obviously I'm doing the Arnold classic that's that next
we have the Arnold Classic Ohio and then a couple weeks later thirteen days later
we have the Arnold Classic Australia so those are the next two big shows that
are on the books other than that obviously we have our sights on Olympia
having a better showing but for right now I don't think too far in the
future everything is day by day and the only purpose in the sport anyway is to
grow you know put on some good quality muscle mass stay in my own lane I don't
really chase what some of the other guys are doing I have to just stick to my
program make the most out of it if I'm locked in on something all my efforts
every single day are for that goal and that's not just in the gym that's
developing a mentality that's connecting with the fans that's you know just doing
the business of body building and that's what has to be because if I want that
position and I want to inspire people then that means I have to actually live
that lifestyle and create balance and show people that you can do this and
live a sane life at the same time you're just gonna have to work hard so for me that's
it that's all that's on my radar is that Olympia title
