Loved todays topic. The main reason I got into this sport. To train my brain and to overcome the obstacles with discipline and consistency. It’s definitely an emotional roller coaster ride.
Hi from Hong Kong. I’m a housewife, just turned 51. And my first Bikini competition will be coming this May. I have been over weight and constantly suffer from health problems over the past 15+ years. Last year I found myself having this dream to compete….and started to train….it is extremely hard for me in terms of both gaining muscles and losing fat as such age. And I have never been secure enough to wear Bikini at the pools or beaches in my whole life ….But I told myself YOLO that this is ONE thing that I would never regret doing in my life, and I am putting all in. hope I could make it.
I was a natural bb starting in the late 80’s. Competed on/off years but a divorce in 2011 led to a 7 year stage layoff while I rebuilt my life. In 2018 I got the itch, decided to try bikini but despite trying to cardio off my former muscle I was too jacked to place well. (Won a state level masters show but got creamed at Masters Nationals) I switched to figure & am now placing top 3 & top 2. I still listen to your podcast… great info that I can apply to figure as well.
