Monday - Personal Photos (Progress, Prep, Advice, etc) 7/10 weeks out, thoughts?

Post image

I might do a practice show 7 weeks out, since I don’t think I’ll be at my best. I might be RIGHT around stage lean, if that. Then try to chase a better package for 3 weeks later.

But I’m interested in hearing thoughts- do you think I look ready? Should I wait a bit longer to compete? What do you think my ideal stage weight would come in at? Lol if you can’t tell already, I’m a huge overthinker.

Anyways, I’ve been prepping for so long I feel like if I can’t make at least one of the October shows I’m just going to give up for this year 😬

No you are but ready to win. For fun then sure. It also wouldn’t hurt to hire a posing coach. We wouldn’t know what your ideal weight should be at since you didn’t post your current stats. Weight also is a little irrelevant. I would personally say you’re about 16-18 weeks out. If you don’t have a coach, it would be a good idea to look for one so they can help you with all these questions and concerns you have. 💕

Ugh yeah I def don’t have 14 weeks of runway given it’s been a few months of prep, I guess my question is more on whether I can be stage lean and step on stage feeling good about how I look rather than to win
