MY TOP TIPS for having a successful post show//improvement season!!️!!️ . Let me first start off by saying that I have NOT had a “perfect” improvement season and I have had my fair share of struggles, as we are all human!! (I am sharing more about this in my next YouTube video📹) But overall, I have embraced this phase and this is the most intentional improvement szn (time away from stage) that I’ve ever had! . Some of the key 🔑 things that have really helped me through this season include the following🔽 ▪️Set micro goals for yourself. As a competitor, you work SO hard for a show date and once it has passed, it can feel like “now what?” Kill the void and set NEW goals. Strength goals, career goals, relationship goals, etc. ▪️Stop body checking/checking yourself out in the mirror all the time! During a phase where weight gain IS the goal, constantly checking yourself out in the mirror is likely going to do more harm than good for your mental space. Cut it out, sis❌ ▪️Have ACCOUNTABILITY!! Having a coach by your side even outside of a contest prep is so helpful, BELIEVE ME. It ensures that you’re continuing to move in the right direction and the accountability oftentimes yields to a more successful and intentional improvement season. ▪️Remind yourself that this phase is a part of the bodybuilding PROCESS. How you treat your intentions in your improvement season ultimately determine how successful your next prep will be. ▪️Recognize that you’re going to have GOOD days and you’re going to have BAD days. The bad days allow you to appreciate the good ones that much more. . Stay tuned as I will be releasing a YouTube video going more into depth on this topic (link is in my bio)♥️ Also, on Monday, an episode all about POST SHOW BLUES will be released via @theprophysiquecode where me and 3 other of the team’s coaches will dive into how to cope with “post show blues.” . **The pics about are 13 months apart.
