Few final tweaks for @bossen_isabella 🫶🏽

Isabella has absolutely taken over the natural figure category by STORM this year, earning TWO natural pro cards!

She’s the perfect example of why, as you progress through your competitive career, your posing should evolve alongside you.

If you’re a first time competitor or still new to the sport, focus on enjoying the experience, bringing your absolute best and learning the sport. Find your feet have fun with the process. Your first shows are about you, your progress and being proud to stand on that stage! Don’t put unnecessary pressure on yourself by worrying about everyone else on stage.

But as you become a more seasoned athlete and start competing at a higher levels and bigger shows your approach needs to evolve. Bodybuilding is a competitive sport, and if you want to progress, you need to develop the resilience to assess your presentation objectively, understand who you’re competing against and make strategic adjustments to give yourself the best possible chance.

Isabella is a great example of this. She earned her pro card in figure, which is a slightly softer look than FIT Body. Now competing in NBW, where the pro figure line up can include FIT Body athletes and trained figure pros, we’ve considered the variety of physiques she could be standing alongside.

So, we’ve made small but intentional adjustments to her posing. We haven’t completely changed her posing… we’ve tweaked it slightly so she can better present her physique based off the show, the criteria and the calibre of competition!!! And that’s the point!!!!

At a higher level, you shouldn’t simply turn up and repeat what you did last season or in your last show just because it worked then. You should be assessing, refining and looking for every opportunity to present your physique as effectively as possible against the competition in front of you.

As a physique coach, you’re constantly assessing your client’s physique and looking at how you can improve their overall look from show to show. As a posing coach, I’m doing exactly the same, but through their presentation. Just as your physique develops from show to show, your posing should too!🩷
