10 things to know before competing!

10 things to know before competing!

  1. Experience a live show firsthand to gain a comprehensive understanding of it's inner workings and production. See when the next shows are on!  FMG SHOWS  IFBB PRO LEAGUE ICN
  2. Prep may demand time and energy, yet the rewards are truly fulfilling. Remind yourself of your choice to compete, and strive to maintain a positive mindset even amidst fatigue.
  3. Achieving competition leanness will most likely surpass any previous peak fitness level you've achieved in the past. Despite feeling lean in preparation, further dedication is often needed to reach the ultimate stage of leanness.
  4. It is possible to balance prepping for a show and achieving success in your career. This dual focus requires adept time management skills and a strategic approach to allocating your free time wisely. By efficiently dividing your attention between these two pursuits, you can effectively pursue both your passion for the show and your professional ambitions without compromising either. 90% of us do!
  5. Bodybuilding is an expensive sport! Do your research and make sure you budget for everything required for your full prep before even starting. This will save you from unnecessary stress.
  6. Winning is not a given, regardless of the reassurances from friends and family. If you fall short of your goal, maintain your composure and show sportsmanship by acknowledging your competitors. Simply put, be gracious in defeat.
  7. Remember that it's you against you! When embarking on a new journey or endeavor, it's vital to focus on your progress and growth. Each step you take is a milestone in your personal development. Never fall into the trap of comparing your beginning to someone else's middle or end. Your journey is unique, and your only true competition is your past self. Embrace the challenges, celebrate your victories, and keep pushing yourself to become the best version of you.
  8. Competing can cause negative relationships with food. If this is something you're already struggling with, be sure to speak openly with your coach, or psychologist before jumping in.
  9. Mastering posing is as crucial as training and maintaining a balanced diet. Without adept posing skills, you may struggle to present your physique at its best. Here are some amazing posing coaches that we recommend. Emma Bowman , Shanae DiCicco ,Tahnee Sheehan , Kath Kalz
