My 1st NPC Bikini Fitness Competition Experience
Steven Karr Las Vegas Classics Body Building Competition November 4th at the Cashman Center
My very first Bikini Fitness Competition was definitely a life changing experience for sure! I placed 3rd place in Novice Bikini and 3rd place in Open Class Bikini and the best part about it was that I had my whole Platinum Physiques Team around me.
First off, I thought being active and staying dedicated was a strong part of my life but this was a whole different playing field going through this life changing experience.
I had been on my last week of meal prep and I steadily crept into "Peak Week" where my brain was going completely blank at times and my energy would go down and crash by noon. First in Peak Week, you must cut out sugar, salt and seasonings of any kind completley. then, you have to cut out Protein Shakes and then the last 2 days is cutting your water significantly. On top of putting in 45 minutes of cardio a day and weight training 3 days a week. Psychological stuff hits you hard and you must have a strong support team around you.
I strongly thank PureFitLV for prepping my meals for the last 2 week of my prep and that they even delivered my meals to my door. What an amazing feeling to have already cooked meals already tupperware with the days of the week already written on their for me to just grab and go.
Also I was in the best shape of my life getting ready for this but holy smokes, when I was backstage with over 100+ girls that all looked just the same as I did, I couldn't believe how I was quickly put in my place knowing that everyone put in their time and energy to compete.
But still, this was my day dedicated for my Sissy and I was so spoiled by not only friends and family but by my Beauty Lady Melanie who did my Spray Tan, MUA and Hair Styling. Melanie from Body Bronzing Club LV had been with me from 5am-5:30pm and almost never took a break. Absolutely amazing the work into everything including the patience she had and all of the last minute touches that she was their at a moments notice to fix.
I had two bikinis during my competition from 2 different local Vegas designers. My First bikini that I wore during Pre-Juding was from Saleyla which had a Mermaid shimmer to it with rhinestones and was so fun to wear.
My second bikini that I wore during the Final Judging was designed by Aldo Mencatto and WOW did it sparkle on stage!
My coach was checking on my every 3 hours since 7am informing me on what to eat so that I would keep on track of not bloating up at all which was so helpful.
This whole time I had stressed what it was going to be like on stage and i had worried about it for so long that when it finally came my turn to step out, I wasn't nervous at all.
The best feeling of all (besides my friends, family, coach and teammates there) was the feeling of being able to eat and drink whatever my hearts desired. What did I learn the most from this whole experience? That if you strongly dedicate your mind to a goal and a plan, than you can achieve anything. The sky is the limit! Here's a pic with my 2 best friends Jenn and Catfish, my mom and my sweetie rooting me on!
