"When you're prepping for a comp, the physical stress you put your body under doesn't leave energy for anything else.
Post comp... Well!

"I'm curious: with all those perfect bodies, both male an female, on display - are the competitors all copping off?  "
You'd be surprised how many are taken. However, a party of fit bodies wouldn't be a bad thing to attend but so far those parties aren't easy to find. V |

I imagine with all the steroids they pump in, something is going to suffer..
I chanced upon the Macedonian bodybuilding competition whilst cycling round the country some years ago.

Pre comp, you cut out carbs, a glass of wine or alcohol prior to stage makes your veins pop! |

I did used to compete myself. A loooong time ago clearly lol. Stress and training and dieting and practice takes over. But after with all that pent up energy and relief it’s over till the next one makes for some serious release needed. At the time my partner was also a bodybuilder and you’ll find most couples are both bodybuilders.

Call me old fashion but I’m so over the gym body image ‘perfect’
I like to keep in shape and stay healthy. Not much bothered about big muscles and look at me |

Interesting thread. Im working towards my first competition in June.
I've never lifted weights before total change in diet.
Just thought I would throw myself totally outside my comfort zone and see how I could change my body shape.
Then cycling London to Paris for charity in Sep

The only vway to specifically alter shape is resistance training. Check out Sally Moss's website. Lift like a man to look like a woman... It'll make you lean in the most efficient way ?? |
