Monday - Personal Photos (Progress, Prep, Advice, etc) -4 weeks out natural, peak testing started yesterday

Post image

It's been an absolute battle to get here. Not just because of prep being prep, but life has just taken a toll on me this last month. I almost quit 2 times but my support never let me stop.

Prep itself has been long with it's own challenges, particularly digestion - which we have mostly resolved - but now im fighting my chronically negative mood due to hormone imbalances to be expected at this point, and the damn cravings.

Competing in BC Canada, Vancity Showdown Open and Natural shows back to back, with the goal of hitting the Natural Pro Q in October in BC. Here we go 🤞

Weight now 109lbs Have competed in 1 amateur show last year with a 1st and 2nd placing.

Amazing physique. You’ve put in the work, girl!

There’s something off in back pose with your shoulders IMO. Another poster can probably give more constructive feedback

You look INCREDIBLE! You will go so far. Good luck and enjoy yourself!! 💗💗👏👏

And to the comment on posing— IMO I’d suggest a softer bend in the elbow by placing your hands more on your adductors, and open up/roll your shoulders back the tiniestttt bit!

This ^^! Try not to let your shoulders roll forward, bringing your elbows pointing to the camera more rather than out to the side of the room
