I understand that now. But initially I didn't take it that way. We are on an online forum and I do not know her personally. Just like my response to her, in my mind didn't seem that harsh. but it was...

Okay.

Okay

No I did not. My point is that she told me something I already knew. and I did take offense to it because it was unsolicited. Much like if you are in a gym and some random person just comes up to you...

I would if this post was about posing but it was not! It is about waist training. She didn't give much advice there so I didn't feel the need. No thanks for unsolicited advice. Carry on!

I'm aware my posing wasn't the best. It was my first show.

Thank you!! I just looked at my pics, especially from the first show and to me I look blocky. That's just how my frame is. I worked really hard on my delts this offseason so hopefully it will...

Okay, so I'm sure by now we all have seen the parodies and memes of women in waist trainers. However, there are women that swear by them. My waist was a little blocky last year during my first...

Yes I did notice how dry it made my skin. It was awful! I used Sarna and honestly got so desperate I used Vaseline on my knees and elbows. lol

Thanks for your responses. I almost thought I was crazy. Mine is slowly clearing up and I hope that it hurries as I have another show soon. This time I'm going to just get the professional spray tan...

A little over a week ago, i participated in my very first figure competition. It was the Ohio Natural Northern in which I took first place class D (woot, woot!). For the show I used Pro Tan and was...

Yes, this is awful. My co-workers are baffled at the dumb mistakes I'm making today. I feel like I can't function. I just want to lay down!

I'm 12 days out from my first show and I am starting to feel the effects of having a low body fat percentage. This morning I had my phone in my hand while leaving the house, got in the car, and drove...

Go for it! Turning 30 is what encouraged me to compete. Best of luck!

I'm seriously addicted to Trident Layers cherry lime! I can't get enough. I have a problem. lol. I was just told as long as a stop a week out I should be ok for certain! :)

Whats the name of the Stevia drink you are drinking?

And I believe my coach knows best because he has been doing this for almost 20 years. But perhaps as a precaustion I should cut it out. Better...

Ok, have a question of which I received many conflicting answers to! Does sugar free gum cause bloating? And if so is it THAT bad? I am two weeks out from a show and the only sweet thing I've had is...

No. I guess I'm overly paranoid. It just seems like my obliques are kind of bulky. My hips are leaning out though!

Thanks! I have added size to my delts, lats, and legs but read on several forums here that weighted ab work will cause your abs to grow and get larger. Which as a competitor you don't want. Just...

Ok! I blame my ignorance here but for two months on occasion (twice a week) I was doing weighted side bends for my obliques. Yes I now know that will cause the waist to grow rather than shrink. My...
