Pictures with a few of my favourite girls I met last weekend 🫶🏼
Honestly so blessed with these beautiful women I have surrounded myself with who are on this journey with me competing for the first time or have competed in Wellness. I truly believe in being surrounded by people with the same passion as you and are genuinely supportive with you, without any jealousy or hate.
A lot of people don’t know but as someone who is competing for the first time in a category that requires a lot of emphasis on muscle development in the lower body, we often hold this view of ourselves that we’re not ‘big enough’ for the class and should fit in to another class.
One reason because we hear those negative (none constructive) opinions or comments being made, ‘oh she’s not Wellness, she should do Bikini or Figure’. Trust me I’ve heard worst comments than that but this won’t be something I’m going to share.
At the end of the day, bodybuilding is about building your physique constantly. As a first timer or amateur, we have the opportunity to train according to the category we feel most confident and have most passion for. Whether it takes 1-2 years off season to build that muscle, learning the posing style, nailing the nutrition aspect of it all before hitting that stage, we all deserve that moment and a chance to compete in the category we ourselves have the passion for and feel connected to the most. Without the passion, you won’t be able to give it your all.
If it wasn’t for Wellness as a category coming into the bodybuilding world, I certainly wouldn’t be in this position to be competing. So when I say I have passion for this category, I put my entire heart and soul into it because it’s everything I connect with the most ❤️
