You're going to. What's going on everybody?

What's going on everybody? Welcome back to the real bodybuilding podcast.

This is number 115 I believe and I'm here with

Mr Johnny Shreve how are you sir? I'm doing all right I can't imagine all right so we're not going to keep people in suspense. I want to get some other things but I just want to tell people why you're so drained. Tell people what's going on.

So I decided this year I was going to drop down to 2012 and do what I probably should have did from a start but I was you know too

quick-headed but yeah so I think I was like 250 when I started and

220 this morning so for people that don't know you Johnny's an IFPB pro you were an open class what's the

most you ever weighed on stage before this show?

232 was my last time on stage. So you were appealed dry 232 on stage. Yeah. So you've decided to drop 20

pounds of muscle. But let's be let's set the let's set the actual like timeline so when was that

232 and when was the last time you competed as an open pro?

California pro was it 2019?

Okay, so yeah and then you took some time off.

You were still training but were you training like still training?

No, I'm not quite like I mean yes to no but not as focused and you know but not as focused

then not as you know eating as much and you know gear use wasn't as much either yeah so I was on my way to kind of going down anyway.

What were, why did you take so much time off?

Were you thinking about retirement or were you just not?

With the current situation and all that I just you know it was just it seemed impossible to do anything.

I mean like even now I had to get my I'm dull vaccinated and then I have to get a negative test to travel and that's just

recently so before that if you didn't have your test or you can have a shot you couldn't go anywhere. And Nova Scotia we've been on lockdown up until I would say a month and half ago. We could even like go in different provinces. Yeah, we're like that too. So yeah, so it was like I'm not going to, there's no point of trying to go through a prep with all that extra stress on it and then realizing that almost the same thing this year anyway.

So your time off, your time off wasn't like a choice, it was almost forced.
