Last time I was in Vegas I got straight off the plane from a long overseas trip, from a connect in LA. Had a huge night out, and went to the gym after a big night out and a breakfast with far higher carbs than I am used to (pancakes and other shit).
Anyhow, I went to the gym and was pumped and vascular as fuck! Veins etc popping out all over the place. Very obvious others were looking at me.
Had to pull out the phone and capture some pix which I hardly ever do to capture the moment.
My theory is that I was dehydrated from the flight, and all the alcohol and coke etc the night prior, and then my body just super fast absorbed all the sugars from breakfast. Combine that with good lighting and flattering mirrors and BOOM! So I kind of did a competition peak prep, without even realizing it!
