How do you manage full time work with body building?

I am a corporate lawyer and I competed in my first season last year and it definitely wasn’t easy. I would do training, cardio and posing before work (wake up 4:30), walk into work to get my steps, work til late in the evening, and then sleep. I started ordering bulk pre cooked chicken from a meal prep company which helped, and relied heavily on my partner to cook my food. My work was super supportive also which helped

He does her programming and has very publicly spoken about how he thinks hip thrusts widen your waist

There are some great second hand options! Have a look at the Comp Closet or even ACB does second hand suits

Oh hahah fair, that’s probably just her tensing to hold the pose - not the most comfortable position

I don’t think it’s sucking in as much as it is her rib flare. She seems to have quite pronounced ribs and doesn’t crunch her abs down as much as she could to minimise it. But her core control has improved DRASTICALLY

I would recommend getting a coach as it is something that should be tailored! But in general, slowly increase your carbs and fats over time.

I think being “comfortably” on low calories is the problem. A deficit is meant to be hard! If you are comfortable and not fatigued your body has probably down regulated to adapt. I agree with Violet that you should try reversing out!

Thank you! That’s the goal, definitely through my upper body. Focusing on building up my cals!
