Hey guys I’m 4 weeks out and just having serious doubts about competing. I feel like I don’t have the size; not gonna be conditioned at the level a show requires. I have a coach and of course she tells me to keep pushing through and I’ll get there. I’m 5’11 and clocked in at 175 last week; would...

Hey. I have had countless failed logs here. Where I started and never got anywhere substantial. Now I am ready to ACTUALLY make this happen. No shows picked out yet. No deadline. But I will track my journey here.

Hello guys! So currently Im really nervous. 4 weeks later I will compete in wellness fitness for the first time and and my glutes and hamstrings are obviously not seperating from each other.

Hi guys, my name is Stefan. Basically, I want to compete more than anything in the world at the moment. The plan is to do 2 shows this September, the INBA Lifestyle Classic and the INBA NSW State Titles (in which I'll go up against Webber91 lol). I am 8 weeks out right now, and was basically...

I have competed the last few years, doing back to back shows, narrowly missing top 3 spots in the last 2 shows. Saying this, i feel i have done myself a disservice by not having a proper offseason, therefore plan on a full year offseason to pack on some mass, then attack next year with more...

LoganBrown's Journey into the Fitness and Bodybuilding Community What's up guys, I've been lurking these forums since 2011 but have never posted consistently. However, I feel it's time for a change! Originally I had this thread in the contest prep forum, but decided to move it here to the contest...

So I'm currently 13 weeks out from my next bodybuilding show on April 22nd April 2018 and thought it would be good to document the process. I can also look back in future to make adjustments for future preps. Ill try and keep things relatively simple and concise. Training wise is as follows:...

Hey guys, So I’m currently 3 weeks out and at this point I’m limping to the finish line. I’m 18 and this is my first show for men’s physique. The dieting and the cost of everything, including food, gas, supplements, and the “extra” supplements are taking a toll on me. Also I’ve pretty much shut...

Hi guys! I'm 3.5 weeks out of my first men's physique show. I'm not so hopeful I'd place high as it is an untested show with 90% of the competitors on gear but I'm giving it my best and being disciplined. Here's an update of my current physique, any criticism would be appreciated! Am I doing ok...

I am 6 weeks out for my first bikini competition prep and I have 6 more weeks to go until my competition day. I was doing great and then I went to store and "consciously" bought a package of Lindt chocolate thinking I will only eat one piece of it,,,, I went to Starbucks and with my cup of...

Aloha! I am currently deployed on the USS MICHAEL MURPHY stationed in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii and have decided to the 2018 IFBB Ikaika Classic for Classic Physique. I have not stepped on stage since 2015 due to the pace of the military and injury in 2016 but I have time now and very excited. I am out...

Well as many people know, I did the first ever WNBF Pro Wheelchair show and took 1st place. Onward and upward to prepping for my next show and a better package. As a truly competitive bodybuilder knows, we are always prepping for one thing or another. I'm not 100% sure were or when...
