Flew to Vegas to also come and support The Olympia, its competitors to say THANK YOU to a few of my close friends.. I have the honor to receive the prestigious ICON AWARD tonight on the Olympia stage.
The health, fitness and bodybuilding universe is one that runs deep in my blood and bones and I’m fired up for the evolution we at @sevenbucksprod’s are going to help usher in.
And for the record I have no idea what the hell I’m doing with my fingers in this video as I’m counting down. Don’t judge me I was moved by the fans insane hyped energy. #LuvUGuysBack #Grateful #ICONAward #MrOlympia
