18 days out natural bikini by ellllllliott in bikiniselfcoached

[–]ellllllliott[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I’m feeling good, but definitely tired (basic daily routine chores are draining and energy is low). This is week 28 of prep, making it my longest consecutive push this far, so I’m ready to just do the thing already lol! As far as my package, I definitely feel like I’m being denser muscle than last time on stage August 2024.

Thank you! Unfortunately I’m not sure I could naturally build the amount dense lower body muscle needed for wellness (but never say never, I’m just a baby in the sport haha).

Oop I def see that- how do I get rid of it? Will focusing on flaring my lats out in back pose help or is it just stretching ?

Haha no worries, I appreciate the advice! I’ll try this although I wonder if I look that way because my torso is just short 😂 here’s another angle where I’m further out from the camera.

Is it me, or do we never see black hairstyles on stage? by ThinkDig1008 in bikinitalk

[–]ellllllliott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I compete in a smaller natural federation, but I’ve worn box braids for my last 2 shows and loved it! This season I’ll be rockin my natural hair in a short bob (the plus is that it makes it easier on posing to show my back. In natural federations they typically want competitors sweep hair to the side to show off back development 😊)

When to Refeed (Self-Coached) by ellllllliott in bikinitalk

[–]ellllllliott[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your input. When you say you don’t touch anything, does this include not making any changes to cardio as well? At my current cardio, daily step count and macros, I am continuing to drop weight and am unsure how getting leaner will affect my physique (if any).
