Bigggg shout out to my client Kayla, who has done an amazing job transforming her body. She recently competed in her first ever figure competition, and snagged 2nd place in novice! Go, Kayla!
We did the slow and steady route, and essentially did a 3 month PRE prep, and then did an official 3 month contest prep. Even with that much time, for the first time competitor, it still feels like time is never enough! 😉
She stayed consistent, though, and it really shows! Check out these numbers:
5/26/2015
Bodyfat: 22.8%
Fat mass: 32.8 lbs
Lean mass: 111.1 lbs
Weight: 144 lbs
11/4/2015
Bodyfat: 15.3%
Fat mass: 20.5 lbs
Lean mass: 113.4 lbs
Weight: 134 lbs
Total change in bodyfat: -7.5%
Total change in fat mass: -12.3 lbs
total change in lean mass: +2.3 lbs
total change in weight: -10 lbs
These numbers are exactly what we want to see– an increase in lean mass, a decrease in fat mass, and decrease in body fat percentage.
Often times in contest prep, the muscle gets wasted away with the fat mass, so there is a decrease in lean mass and a decrease in fat mass. However, Kayla was able to decrease her fat mass AND increase her lean mass- YES!!!
Here is what she has to say about the experience: “I had an AMAZING time prepping for and competing in my first bodybuilding competition! It was an entirely new level of consistency, goal-setting, and commitment for me but I regret absolutely nothing about the choice and the process. Kristina was the best coach and trainer I could have hoped for. Her knowledge and enthusiasm helped to prepare me for the challenge and to push me beyond what I thought was possible! I would recommend competing to anyone looking for a challenge and to change their habits for the better. Be confident and you can achieve anything you put your mind to!”
