what defines you as a bodybuilder?
You set a goal of why and when you
Making mistakes does NOT
define you.
will compete, hire a coach to help you
create a training program and meal
plan as well as keeping you
accountable, and eventually step on
stage prepared with your presentation,
poses, and routine (if applicable).
What if you made some mistakes in your
posing/routine? What do you tell
yourself in your head?
What about placing? Does that define
you? What if you don’t place? What if
you won 1st place but not overall?
Not placing does NOT define
you.
Not winning 1st place does
NOT define you.
Not “winning” the posedown
does NOT define you.
