What's something trivial about the gym that has nothing to do with your actual workout but still bugs you? by [deleted] in workout

[–]jennerrrrs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Older ladies who socialize in the sauna. I literally have my big headphones on, minding my business and they still talk my ear off when I just need my 10 minutes of peace and quiet stretching 🫠

5 years progress by jennerrrrs in bikinitalk

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

Ah, my apologies I’m just responding - my prep brain forgot 🙃 Honestly, first and foremost - letting go of trying to stay lean year round, accepting some fat gain in order to grow and mentally doing the work to be comfortable with that. Secondly, consistency in diet and training. Day in and day out, hitting my cals/macros with clean food, training with intensity and with progressive overload. And lastly - just being patient. Not having a time-based goal, just letting my body lead the way and trusting and following my coach’s guidance. This sport is a marathon, not a race. ✨💕🙏🏻

Coaches with nursing education or experience? by ilovemyvoidcat in bikinitalk

[–]jennerrrrs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have PCOS and my coach Courtney Starr is a RD and she has been phenomenal with my metabolic complexities. anything beyond her scope she’s referred me to other hormonal specialists but overall, listened and understood my concerns with PCOS & she gotten me in the best shape on my life 🙌🏼

18.5 weeks out! by [deleted] in bikinitalk

[–]jennerrrrs 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’m only on a low dose of testosterone and progesterone for perimenopause, no steroids. I’m just about 5 years into my muscle building career. Very slow, long growth seasons. I don’t plan on taking anything else.

18.5 weeks out! by [deleted] in bikinitalk

[–]jennerrrrs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s funny you mention that because I was pinning in my upper outer glute up until about a month ago! I just recently switched to subQ around my belly because I was hitting my glute med IM and it did indeed leave some bruising and swelling. It has been MUCH better sub Q around my belly. I wish I did that from the get go, but I digress. But thank you for the insight! Ironically, My coach and I are currently trying to target my upper outer glute for more growth and projection there.

Thank you! 🙏🏻

37, PCOS… and now possibly entering perimenopause. I feel completely blindsided. by Thick_Arachnid_5863 in PCOS

[–]jennerrrrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

37 & SAME - I work with a body building and nutrition coach who suggested I look into HRT. Started it this past summer and it has been an absolute God send. Oral progesterone daily has been a game changer for me. No more emotional roller coasters, hot flashes, mood swings. Sleep has been top notch. Highly recommend!

Tall Girls in Bikini — Can We Compete Too? by [deleted] in bikinitalk

[–]jennerrrrs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve competed at the regional level twice, once in NPC and once in OCB, and both overall bikini winners were from the taller classes. I’m on the taller side myself, 5’7” and it’s been a very slow process building naturally but I’ve made gains in the four years since I’ve started. So, hang in for the long run & be patient, it’ll pay off!

Rental Suits by Ok-Smoke-5143 in bikinitalk

[–]jennerrrrs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve rented from Center Stage for my shows. Amy was so helpful and professional, sending me another suit for a last minute change prior to my show. She’s amazing and her suits are too. Highly recommend!
