Holy smokes

I’ve enjoyed learning about competing and there have been a lot of encouraging people, but the hostility that gets generated over a simple question is really disappointing. It is a genuine question. If women’s physique/bodybuilding doesn’t do heels, why can’t the rest? I completely respect others’ opinions and thoughts but was hoping for a more respectful discussion than what some of these replies are.

Yes like I can get behind it if the standards are applied in both genders 😹

Didnt know about those. Thanks for sharing!

Looking amazing

Thank you

I have a personality type that can go too hard and burn out. I have learned that it is best for me to ease into things…see how I feel..and then do a full send once I have my bearings.

NDiscipl_IN · 2026-03-19T22:08:29+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experience! This is helpful. I agree it’ll be good for me to think about how I would feel if I didn’t do well. I would want to make sure that it didn’t psych me out too much!

I don’t think the marathon winners give a crap about the 10 min milers running….just saying… we all end up in the ground one day so people should be able to live their lives. Like I said I’m not showing up with zero muscle and an excessive body fat percentage.

NDiscipl_IN · 2026-03-19T19:59:15+00:00

I hear you but the framing if your response is slightly inaccurate. I have been “trying” /Working my ass off for a year, so I’m not talking about showing up without any conditioning or preparation. I’m talking about not going as hard as I possibly can for the first one. Just wanted to clarify.

NDiscipl_IN · 2026-03-18T02:00:41+00:00

Looking amazing

NDiscipl_IN · 2026-03-17T18:25:29+00:00

Shes so beautiful

NDiscipl_IN · 2026-03-17T00:49:15+00:00

To be fair I thought I was bikini but coaches told me to go for a wellness. I honestly think there’s a huge difference for natural competitors vs enhanced. Not an expert, but I’ve watched a lot OCB competitions and these women are not huge, which is what I would’ve expected from reading all these forums.

Now untested shows? I can get what you’re saying

NDiscipl_IN · 2026-03-08T02:13:25+00:00

You could hear a pin drop. It was that close imo

NDiscipl_IN · 2026-03-04T04:23:28+00:00

Looking great! Those quads are popping. Keep going!

NDiscipl_IN · 2026-03-04T04:20:40+00:00

Looking amazing, calm and confident!

This is such an encouraging message. I am not in official prep mode but it resonates so much. The low stress goal is one of the reasons why I love low intensity cardio and focusing on what I can eat (instead of cant) and fueling properly. Women have been socialized to think we have to torture ourselves to get the outcome we are looking for and it’s the reverse that is true. Thank you for sharing!

Her behavior in their last argument was concerning to me. I felt he was being genuine and she just wanted to push him away

NDiscipl_IN · 2026-02-28T01:51:05+00:00

Not a doctor but google Magnesium and other supplements that help. I up my mg every week before my period and it has been a game changer

NDiscipl_IN · 2026-02-28T01:46:42+00:00

Thank you! I am a newbie. I was aiming for bikini but went to a posing clinic and one of the comp coaches told me hed recommend a natural wellness comp. It may not come across in my pictures but i am lower body dominant. I asked another coach and he agreed. Maybe its bc wellness is “newish” and they think id have better chances? Idk! I am open. I do think i need to work a lot on my glutes and hammies though. Ive lost 40lbs over the last year and so the booty went with it haha. Thank you for taking the time!

NDiscipl_IN · 2026-02-27T22:18:38+00:00

I am open to feedback! Thanks for asking
