We explore the psychological aspects of bodybuilding competition, from managing expectations to building friendships with competitors, and share our personal journeys to achieving pro cards in the WNBF.

• Managing comparison with other competitors through social media
• How low expectations can lead to better competitive outcomes
• The importance of maintaining composure during stage positioning
• Building supportive relationships instead of rivalries backstage
• The journey becomes easier with each competition experience
• The value of starting prep early to avoid rushing into conditioning
• How posing coaching and experience contribute to competitive success

If you're thinking of competing this year, the Calgary show is about 15 weeks out, so now is the time to start preparing. DM us with any questions or topics you'd like us to cover in future episodes.
