It's amazing how as bodybuilders, we learn to think and measure our lives in terms of "weeks out" now! I remember a time when I talked about doing something "in a few months" or "next year." Now it's in terms of how many weeks away I am from Nationals or the USA's! Our local season is ramping up and it's now 14 1/2 weeks out to the Emerald Cup. Still plenty of time to really think about your prep for the show and determine if you've got everything you need to get ready. Do you have your diet planned? Your cardio? What about suits? Are they ordered? And posing practice...when are you going to start that? So many questions and so many things to think about in getting ready for your show. If you've never used a coach or trainer before, now is a good time to think about getting a coach to help you with your prep. As we get closer to the show, I'll write more on the topics of precontest nutrition, cardio, posing, etc. But even if you read everything you can get your hands on, you still may find that you need that experienced, seasoned set of eyes to look at you and make sure that your physique is coming in correctly and on time. A good coach can offer you constructive criticism and help you dial in to bring your best game to the show, and many athletes find they do better having the guidance of an experienced coach. To find the right coach/trainer for you, look for someone with competition experience and some years under their belt. Ask around and don't be afraid to ask the coach you are considering to give you references that you can check out. Ask them about their experience with other competitors, and how their competitors have done.  Ask about what is included in their fees - some will offer package prices for your show prep. Make sure that your needs are covered in your investment with the coach you choose. If they're good, they wont hesitate to mention their clients to you, and be able to show you who they've been successful with.

Good luck to all of you as you begin the season and your journey to the Emerald Cup!
