I went to watch the IFPA Pro Elite International/KC Classic this past weekend. I came out of the weekend with a lot of mixed emotions. Very weird combo of motivated/inspired and also discouraged. The physiques at the pro level are amazing & something I am obviously striving for. However, it is going to take years on years on years (and then some).
Going to shows is good for me because it helps me keep track of the type of physique that is winning pro cards. For bikini it is definitely glute/ham, quad, and shoulder focused. Obviously all of this with a small waist and good level of conditioning. Continuing to build up my lats will also be crucial due to my lack of boobs (to give me more size on top). Overall, same thing... I have a longgggggggggggg way to go.
Moving forward I am going to keep working at it. It has been 21 weeks since Southern States Classics (starting week 22 of training). Every single week since my show I have been consistent and diligent with my nutrition, supplements, and training. However, I realized this past weekend that I need to be better about practicing posing consistently because it is extremely important. Stage presence and good posing is going to always be the tie breaker.
So cheers to continued improvement, no matter how long it will take. I will eventually post a physique update. This past weekend I weighed in at 136 lbs (8 lbs up from show weight).
Much love & lifting,
Leah
