FIRST POSED CHECK-IN VERSUS PRE STAGE CHECK-IN
@akantonyy
When you’re “just getting started” the vision for stage can seem like a lifetime away
“How will I ever get in the right condition?”
“Do I have enough size?”
“I can’t even pose properly yet”
“I don’t want to embarrass myself”
“Am I even gonna be any good?”
I get it - but that’s why you do what Ant did…
He got started with me just shy of 12 months before he ever got on stage
Meaning we could SQUASH any of the uncertainties and self doubt that he had
Not that there was many for Ant, to be fair 🤣
But nonetheless we’ve had one hell of a rollercoaster with shows this year 😂
2x 🥉 in untested lineups
A 7th place at PCA Naturals
And a 4th place at WNBF Supernaturals
Now for the ‘7th place’ show, it turns out the water and sodium protocols weren’t being adhered to properly - which is what caused the look to be off on that show day
Massive shame as that’s the show we wanted to prioritise, but we all took lessons from that
1 week, and 5.5kg later, Ant came in with his best look yet - he was just a little flat
That’s because I was holding back from carbing too heavy after the previous weekend’s look
It was simply the safer option, and it definitely paid off, but if we came in fuller it would’ve been a top 3 placing for sure.
Nonetheless, super proud of you this season mate, taken the results on the chin, and ended it on a high 🙌🏼
That’s what it’s about! The level up!
At least this means we KNOW for certain the next run is gonna be crazy 😮💨😮💨
If you wanna compete in 2027/28, then get in touch ASAP.
I cover all bases - nutrition, training, recovery, posing, show day attendance, tanning, and meticulous coaching. At no extra cost.
