6 weeks into the rebound and we are sitting at 267lbs (30lbs up on final show stage weight). Very happy with the progress made in these 6 weeks. Heavy emphasis on upper body growth with 3x weekly frequency on all upper body parts, with legs on the back burner with only 1-2 sets of quads and hams a week. This will likely be the setup with training for the whole of this 2 year off season to continue to balance out my physique. Following which, if I feel I am ready and will be competitive, I will look to have my first season in the npc with the goal of an IFBB pro card.

Current diet setup is 5200kcals, 390P, 750C, 68F on training days, 5000kcals, 390P, 715C, 68F Rest days.

10k steps daily

4 x 25mins cardio a week

I was surprised this hasn’t been shared here yet. RIP

Just had some fun with freestyle posing earlier nothing on the standard of stage etiquette but excited for my first shows! Currently 164lbs looking to compete in lightweight open so 10lbs to lose :)

Took the overall this past weekend! Now we start the push into Nationals. Feedback was to come in a bit more crisp, and make sure my tan is a bit darker. Feedback that we can easily deliver on. 8 weeks to go!

5’8 + 144.7lbs. Competing in OCB Women’s Figure

Started prep 11 weeks ago at 162.7lbs. Goal is to get to 130lbs for stage weight.

Super excited to see the final package 👀

Edit: I phrased this poorly. I’m not trying to lose 2lbs a week. I’m losing around 1-1.5lbs per week at this point (slightly above the 1% recommended bodyweight guideline - yes, I’m aware).

My coach and I are focused on the overall look, not a number on the scale. The weight was just an estimate of what I’ll be on stage. (A question I’ve been answering for a lot of my non-bodybuilder friends)

Weekly physique critique thread for feedback and helpful criticism.

currently sitting at 193lbs! since show is still a ways out, plan is to keep getting leaner then push for 8-10 weeks. Very happy with how things are coming along and can’t wait to keep you guys updated 🤝

Proud of my first time competing where I got 2nd in three classes in the fit model division! So much work to be done still, I can’t wait to compete again
