Hey, I'm doing good. How are you guys?
Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2536: Avoid These 3 Kinds of Fitness “Professionals” & More (Listener Live Coaching)
Well, so the question I had for you guys is in regards to my own personal training. So I coach. But throughout my life in coaching and my own health, I've never really done much of restrictions or anything like that. So October, November, I did my first bikini competition and I joined as figure.
Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2536: Avoid These 3 Kinds of Fitness “Professionals” & More (Listener Live Coaching)
So that was the first time in my life I actually did restriction and prep and all that, which was a fun challenge. Um, and the judges gave me the feedback that, you know, they loved me and all that, but that they would recommend me going to bikini because I didn't quite build as much muscle and I have a little bit of a skinny frame.

So I feel like I gained muscle easy in terms of definition, but not bulky. So I will do another show in November. So I have a lot of time to train. During this first prep, I did use MAPS anabolic and aesthetics, um, So I was trying to follow that plan. So I want to challenge myself to see how much can I gain? Can I stay in figure? Because I don't want to quite go to bikini. It's not my style.
Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

So I wanted to try to stretch to gain in bulk. But then I also love running. And I normally do one half marathon a year. So part of my question was like, is it even possible to do the bulking while still running? In the past, I've managed to run and train and not really lose muscle. I've been able to gain muscle during running season, but obviously not to the level of bulking for competition.
Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

So I wanted to have an idea if I have to give up running. And since I have such a long time until actually with getting prep again, what does that even look like in terms of phases and training? And, you know, like it's such a long journey from here to there, but I feel I have to use it wisely if I actually want to gain as much muscle as I possibly would have to.
Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2536: Avoid These 3 Kinds of Fitness “Professionals” & More (Listener Live Coaching)
Yeah, and my goal is not to win. Like I don't fit into the category of somebody that wants to compete and win. I'm doing that more like as a way to challenge myself and to create new results and to push my discipline to a level that is normally not my level. What my goal would be is like do well enough in the feeling of
Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

if I will go with figure feeling I belong in figure, you know, because this one I did and it was fun, but obviously I know I wasn't built for figure stage. The bikini is just such a stretch for me and just like the poses and everything. And I prefer to push the weights than to learn how to.
Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2536: Avoid These 3 Kinds of Fitness “Professionals” & More (Listener Live Coaching)
Yeah. Well, for me, the priority is the first. It's more like the health, the function, like being at my best, which is, again, with the longer. And I get that it's not so long of a prep, but I really wanted to do prep a little bit different than what I did the first time around because the first time I followed what the coach said. And there was quite a bit of... uh, some hardcore restrictions.
Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2536: Avoid These 3 Kinds of Fitness “Professionals” & More (Listener Live Coaching)
And I'm like, man, it's not possible. I need to eat just broccoli. Like, you know, it's kind of like, I would like to learn to, to do things maybe a little bit more. Yeah. It's strict and disciplined, but I mean, understand the mechanics of it a little bit better as a coach as well. But for me, health is the priority.
Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

And the reason for the show is just to give me a deadline because coming from an athletic background, I'm used to competitions. That's why I run half marathons because I like the finish line. I like to get a map and I like that feeling of I'm training.
Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2536: Avoid These 3 Kinds of Fitness “Professionals” & More (Listener Live Coaching)
for this and with the gym you don't have that right you go there you're painting and after certain points it's like okay i look good i'm not training for looking good so the training for the show was just to give me something that is putting me on a deadline and putting pressure because now you know i share on my social media that i'm doing this so it gives you that feeling if i have something i'm training for and every day matters because i'm in a training schedule
Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2536: Avoid These 3 Kinds of Fitness “Professionals” & More (Listener Live Coaching)
But it's not for me to win. And it's definitely not for me to ruin anything on my body. You know, it's not for me to have all like issues or to drive myself crazy. None of that like really matters for me. It just matters that when I get on that stage, I feel I did my best. I'm looking good and I'm better than the last one. And I feel like, you know, way to go, girl. Like you killed it.

Then you're going to be fine.
Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2536: Avoid These 3 Kinds of Fitness “Professionals” & More (Listener Live Coaching)
No, I'm a full-time coach. Like I have a location that we do coaching and we have like a health bar. I had a fitness studio in Canada before, but now in Florida, I don't have a studio, but my coaching is more focused in lifestyle and balance, which is why I never done restriction because where I leverage with people is you don't need to be perfect.
Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth

I just got abs because I wanted to prove to people I could have abs and eat pizza. Literally that's kind of got me to fitness was people doing the bikini shows being so extreme. And I was like, I'll show to you guys that I can have abs eating pizza and not eating chicken and broccoli every day.
Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2536: Avoid These 3 Kinds of Fitness “Professionals” & More (Listener Live Coaching)
No, not yet.
Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2536: Avoid These 3 Kinds of Fitness “Professionals” & More (Listener Live Coaching)
So I saw you guys at the CoachCon, right? And after CoachCon, I was like, I need to actually focus on the business and not do so many certifications. But I saw you guys launched one and I was interested and curious and I had a quick look on it, but I haven't really gone down to see what you guys were offering with that.
Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2536: Avoid These 3 Kinds of Fitness “Professionals” & More (Listener Live Coaching)
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2536: Avoid These 3 Kinds of Fitness “Professionals” & More (Listener Live Coaching)
No, I haven't, no.
Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2536: Avoid These 3 Kinds of Fitness “Professionals” & More (Listener Live Coaching)
Awesome, thank you. You got it.
Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2536: Avoid These 3 Kinds of Fitness “Professionals” & More (Listener Live Coaching)
Now, if I may, just a quick question. Just to make sense of... With the months I have ahead now, because again, I've never done bulking. What would that look like in terms of the phases? Because I have the anabolic anesthetics and I was just planning to get back to the beginning on those, but that will not take me all the way, right?
Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2536: Avoid These 3 Kinds of Fitness “Professionals” & More (Listener Live Coaching)
So like with all the months I have ahead of me, seven, eight months, what would that look like in terms of how do I phase my training?
Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2536: Avoid These 3 Kinds of Fitness “Professionals” & More (Listener Live Coaching)
Uh, I have anabolic because I got like a package. So I bought the anabolic aesthetics and the butt builder. Those are the two.
Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2536: Avoid These 3 Kinds of Fitness “Professionals” & More (Listener Live Coaching)
Well, that makes it very clear for me. Thank you guys.
Mind Pump: Raw Fitness Truth
2536: Avoid These 3 Kinds of Fitness “Professionals” & More (Listener Live Coaching)
