Center Stage Physique

Center Stage Physique It's Showtime: Contest Preparation to go "Center Stage". Let the ironladydoc show you the way to Center Stage! So you want to be a competitor?

You think you're serious? You think you're ready? Preparing for a contest is by far the most grueling and difficult part of bodybuilding and other physique contests. I have competed for a decade. I attend many of the NANBF and NPC shows. I have written for several bodybuilding magazines/websites, and I've coached over a dozen clients, three of which have pro card wins and pro titles in the last two years alone. Not that I'm trying to impress you with my iron-game resume, but if you know you're not actualizing your potential to win, then take notes...this is what I do best. My intent here is to give you a precontest strategy to put you over the top. Your appearance on stage is dominated by your condition, of course, but it's not the only consideration. Clients hire me to design and monitor their nutrition and posing, but I often dole out tips on tanning and suits as they start emailing me pictures. Ask any judge why you placed a little lower than you thought and they'll always bring up posing flaws in the same conversation as condition. I've seen so many people lose a close call to a competitor they should have beaten just because they can't show the judges how good they really look. Let me say that I'm not the only person in the world that prepares competitors for battle, but when the stakes are high, chose well. Having someone lend a qualified, objective eye will be a distinct advantage. I personally take every client's goals very seriously and consider it my job to make sure they couldn't be any better then when they walk on the stage. I don't just design a program; I monitor the progress weekly, and sometimes daily, to make adjustments when necessary. Whoever you chose to help you prepare for a contest, make sure they take your goals as seriously as you do and are qualified to take you to that level. One of my pro clients made a similar comment to me last week:

"Without you, I could not have performed to my highest potential, and I am ready to take center stage in May." Winning takes great effort; there are a lot of people out there who want the same title you do. You have to want it more and you have to know how to win!

Always fun looking back :)

Let's rewind back to 1999, a year to remember at the NANBF Natural lowa!
This was a stacked lineup for sure. & Winning the overall open women's bodybuilding class and defending her title from the prior year was Suzanne Herzog-Lopez.

For men's bodybuilding, Loren Wiltgen won the overall and lowa title (both winning their pro card). Malea Jensen took home the lowa title for the women.
Coreen Sweeney gave the short class a run for their money as well! Novice overalls went to Mary Van Der Maaten and dramatic poser Jason Roberson.

2024 will be the 30th anniversary of this competition and it is going to be awesome!

2. Blaming steak for what sugar did
3. Blaming butter for what sugar did. .
4. Blaming meat for what sugar did.
5. Blaming cholesterol for what sugar did.
6. Blaming EVERYTHING when sugar is the problem.

Fasting for two thirds of the day does not lead to greater weight loss than eating meals throughout the day, according to a randomized trial in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Roughly 100 overweight or obese adults were assigned to time-restricted eating or consistent meal timing. In the time-restricted group, participants were advised to eat as needed from 12 p.m. until 8 p.m., and then fast for 16 hours until 12 p.m. the next day. In the consistent-meals group, participants were told to eat three structured meals across the day, with snacks as needed. There were no recommendations about caloric intake or physical activity.

At 12 weeks, mean weight loss did not differ significantly between the groups (0.94 kg with time-restricted eating and 0.68 kg with consistent meals). Most secondary outcomes, including changes in fat mass, lipids, and fasting glucose, also did not differ significantly between the groups. Of note, the time-restricted group lost more appendicular lean mass than the consistent-meals.

Ephedra
Also known as ma huang, this herb has been used for thousands of years in China and India to treat coughs, headaches, and cold symptoms. More recently, it's been used to help people lose weight and get energy. But studies have found it may boost the chance of heart problems and strokes, and cause a rise in heart rate and blood pressure. Doctors also warn of possibly deadly interactions with many heart medicines. The FDA has banned ephedra as a dietary supplement, but it still can be found in some herbal teas.
