Pre make up, pre top coat. Check ins were an eye opener, I know shouldn’t look but bikini has changed alot over the years. Hopefully I can still be competitive. Thank you to everyone who messaged me, having a melt down over lack of upper body 😅 Spent 3 years only training legs telling myself I’m never getting on stage again 🫣 Anyway here we are again, representing the masters bikini competitors ✊🏼@bodyprojectx taken in Seattle, Washington by @michellebrannan

(STRICT / SET ) DIETS DON’T WORK LONG TERM.

Rigid set meal plans can certainly get you results but what happens when the ‘diet’ ends? All strict / set diets will come to an end either when the deadline is up or when the person simply can’t do it anymore. When this happens if you lacked flexibility or were severely restricted it’s very likely you will ‘go off the rails’ and binge.

We find it much better to teach people flexibility and how to eat to fuel rather than following a set plan meal plan.

Very strict set meal plans day in day out can lead to gut intolerances where you are exposed to less types of food over type and exacerbate eating disorders. They also promote and off / on, binge style mindset .

The goal shouldn’t be to get really good at following a diet set by your coach (often mindless nonsense) but to build a way of eating that you can sustain and
lifestyle you don’t constantly need to diet your way out of. Obviously in contest prep things need to be tightened up and calories need to be reversed up again after but in a way that doesn’t damage your metabolism or make you emotionally crazy.

That means:
✔️Learning how to eat properly, rather than surviving on as little food as possible
✔️Not rebounding after every ‘diet’ putting you in a less than optimal place mentally, physically and hormonally  ✔️Eating enough protein and building meals around good nutrition rather than just doing what your coach says without question (coco pops post workout because they said so 🤡) ✔️Continued Resistance training to build and maintain muscle. There is no end date to training  ✔️Staying physically active daily  ✔️Creating habits you can apply to your life for YEARS — not just 8 or 12 weeks by @michellebrannan

Lifting the jowl area with Botox. Botoxing the DAO’s (depressor / downward pull muscles by mouth and the platysma bands where they cross the jaw line (rather than just neck bands) can actually help lift the jowl area providing there is not excessive fat or skin.

(Purple shampoo in my ear 😅 )

Have you tried lower face Botox? by @michellebrannan

Setting up your NPC bikini front pose. We want
- a lat spread to create v taper to waist
- pelvis back and rotated away
- both hip bones back to prevent being ‘crunched’ down and run risk of waist looking thicker on stage
- weight laterally into the front facing glute / leg to show off more definition

We want to create a v shape illusion, small waist and round glutes in front pose.

Getting your actual mandatory poses right is the most important thing you can do on stage. by @michellebrannan

Being a coach is tough. To stay coaching in a fickle industry for 15 years is not for the weak. People come and go. People love you and people hate you. You are the best person in the world and you can also be the worst. I have trained literally hundreds of people, I have been to hundreds of shows all over the world. I’ve seen people succeed and I’ve seen people fail. But the best thing about coaching is to be a major part of someone’s life for over a decade. Thank you for your trust @chameleon_charlie ✨ Proud of you & @bodyprojectx this weekend by @michellebrannan
