I’ll be competing in figure in my first OCB show in December, doing debut, novice, open and Master’s.

I’ve been doing bodybuilding training with a coach since December 2024, but locked in since summer of 2025, dropping a weekly cardio endurance lifting class I enjoyed as it was affecting my recovery and gains.

Check in photos from this morning are post 400g refeed over Friday and Saturday. Just had cals reduced to 1850/day, 40 mins MISS cardio on the treadmill incline walking 4x a week. Weighing in just over 151lbs, down from around 165lbs when we started in April.

Back double bi shot included just because I think it looks cool and want to try to include it in my individual presentation. ☺️

Nervous about posing but excited to present what I have been working on!

Still working on posing and confidence in my physique. I feel like I look pretty small and stringy especially from the back here fasted but better throughout the day, which I guess is pretty normal with carb replenishment

I’m excited to just have the experience to see if I even enjoy competing—I’m certainly enjoying the cutting process (famous last words, maybe 🤭)—and to get some feedback on my physique as well.

Biting the bullet and aiming for a December OCB show. I started my first little mini cut phase in April since starting bodybuilding in December 2024; otherwise have been in a surplus or at maintenance the entire time.

We just wanted to see what would happen and my coach thinks as long as I feel good with the weight loss, we can make it happen. Most nervous about posing and getting overwhelmed with being seen this way, but working on it!

Pics attached of current physique and around same weight in 2025!
