VAUGHAN MCAFEE – Warrior’s Corner

I’ve always worked out and I wanted to try something more challenging, and decided to look into physique competition.  I found out about TEAM Warrior Within by asking around and on social media.  Nikki Johnston does my prep.

I enjoy working with Nikki, she is tough but fair, and I always feel bad if I cheat on my prep because she works so hard with me.

The hardest part of my prep was giving up my favorite foods and, toward the end, living on low carbs.  For motivation, I used pictures and videos of other competitors, as well as the thought of not wanting to let my family down.  My wife was VERY supportive during the process.

For those looking to get involved with physique competition, I would advise them to go into it seriously and don’t be embarrassed to ask for help or motivation.

During my prep, I learned that when I’m “locked in,” I can accomplish anything—and that low carbs will humble anybody lol.

I would like to thank my wife and Nikki, they both pushed me and motivated me, especially during the hard times.  Which I will need, as I’m currently prepping for my next show in June 2016.
