Hi all! I’ve been competing in natural organizations for years but making the switch to the NPC in 2027 and am super excited! I’m in south Florida and am planning on a few shows in late April into may. What recommendations would you all have for shows in florida, or even GA? I want a big show with good competition, promoters who really go above and beyond to make their shows as memorable as possible for the athletes. My most honest reason for leaving the natural orgs is because the shows suck. There is no hype, no excitement, it’s like you wouldn’t even know you’re ay a bodybuilding show. I want a show thats just going to be a blast. Please share your experiences and recommendations!

I am I imagining that the following scenario would be proper gym etiquette?
I see someone wiping down the machine I’m going to use next so I go out my bag down and tell her I’m about to use this next and she acknowledges. I turn my back for one second to grab my water from the other machine and a lady comes in (with my bag right at the machine) and starts using it. Shouldn’t have the girl who used it last (using the machine directly next to it) have said that I was using it next?! I mean gym girlie code, am I right?!
I politely asked the woman if I could work in with her since my things were already there and she gave me an attitude saying let her finish her set. So I stood there right behind her until she was done.
The people at this gym have poor gym etiquette, right??

Recommendations for reasonably priced virtual bikini posing coaches please. I don’t need the best of the best olympia posing coaches but someone good! Thanks for any recommendations :)

Hi all! I need a new podcast recommendation for cardio. I've listened to The Girl Gainz (they never post new shows anymore though), I tried Corey Hageman's but I can't stand her talking in circles all the time, loved Cyd Gillon's, also like Unwracked, but need some new ones to try! Thanks in advance

I am so sick of the people in my gym never re racking their weights. What do y’all think - is it acceptable to go up to someone to remind them to re rack if I see them blatantly not do it?

My boyfriend (43M) and I (34F) have been together almost 10 months and everything has been seemingly perfect so far. There are legit no red flags and I feel like this is my person who I'll be with for the rest of my life.

He has two kids (8 and 11) and I travel a lot for work. Some weekends I'm gone, and when he has the kids, I try to leave him be as much as I can because he can get stressed / preoccupied a lot (understandable) and I don't want him to feel like I need to be the priority, The kids should always be. Recently, it's been getting to me a lot that he doesn't reach out to check on me / say good morning / goodnight / how's your day even when he has them. I don't mean I want constant texts all day when he's busy, but a simple "good morning" or "hope you have a good day" text is all I would want to let me know he thinks about me throughout the day. Is that too much / needy?

I'm looking for help on how to ask him to send me a brief text just to let me know he's thinking of me... it takes 3 seconds. I don't want to seem too needy or like I'm trying to take away from his time with his kids. For context, I have met the kids and we all love each other! I just want to feel like I don't have to always be the one to reach out first. He used to do this all the time when we first started dating, and now I feel like he would be fine going all day without any contact.

Any advise is much appreciated. Thank you.
