Girl this Olympia plague was no joke! It’s been going on over 2 weeks for me and still not fully well!

As everyone has said, it is individual specific.

But as for myself personally I do not alter sodium at all. I use my normal sea salt amount at every meal, and backstage during pump up I’ll do a small amount with a sip of water! Pretty consistently with my clients as well!

Not much more to add to what Kuba has for you, other than to give extra confirmation to it!

My arms were at one point a very weak body part, and now one of my better!

Things I did to change it was lower volume and frequency ( I was training them multiple times a week) to once per week and very minimal movements 3 tricep, 2 bicep. With major emphasis on contraction, controlled eccentric, and kill any momentum

Coming off of a long year here!

I won’t bore you with the wordy details, but just to recap as it plays into how things need to be approached post Olympia!

Surgeries at the beginning of the year along with many setbacks in recovery taking 4 months completely off the gym, but of course still following meals.

Started from scratch in April with no intentions of competing in 2022, but prepping just as if I would so that I could recomp into an off season to improve and compete in 2024.

Long story short, I competed in July and won which qualified for the Olympia, and I also got the invite for Rising Phoenix

So that meant competing again in November and December.

I had a slight push up phase after winning the July show before pulling back down for the Rising Phoenix and Olympia.

So in total I’ve essentially been in “show shape” from July-December.

Honestly besides all the body hurdles and trouble shooting I had through prep from more complications and flare ups from the previous surgeries, sicknesses, etc internally heath markers are all great!

But from a physique progressive standpoint I am very much looking forward to the time in a surplus to make true progress

I haven’t had a real off season phase that led to a prep since the 2019 competition season.

So I believe that is what it is truly going to take to push my physique to the next level.

Which leads me to now post Olympia which I will dive more into the details of tomorrow!! 🙂

Hey everyone!!

First off, it’s an honor to be here! Secondly, Happy New Year!

One thing I do not like to do is talk about myself lol, but I think it’s good here to start off with an introduction for those that may not know me well or have followed me on Instagram long before we get into the nitty gritty!

I am 27 years old, born and raised along with currently reside in Florida. Everything I do, I do with immense passion and I truly believe how you do anything is how you do everything.

Throughout my childhood into my 20’s I have raised and shown livestock, primarily cattle. So I spent my days prior to Sun up to past Sun down in the barn working. I believe that is what shaped the fundamentals of who I am and where my relentless work ethic along with extreme competitiveness was formed. (Showing cattle is basically like bodybuilding for cows lol)

I don’t have a cool story about what brought me into the gym, I just started going to the gym at 18 because I was super skinny and wanted to be ya know… “tone” lol and of course me being me, I don’t just go in and flail about lol, I looked up workouts on google (this was pre everyone posting everything on Instagram days lol) and then once I exhausted my options there I hired a coach, Matt Jansen in 2013 before he was the famous guy he is today lol (we worked together 2013-2019). Fast forward, I did my first ever competition in figure in Nov 2013. Immediately knew the heels were not for me lol and at the time I was a very big DLB fan, so Matt and I decided to take the time to progress into WPD. Another fast forward, I did my first WPD comp in July 2015, winning that, then 2 weeks later did the USA’s winning my class and turning pro!

To not bore you with the in between details, I have since won 4 pro shows and been to the Olympia 4 times, twice in WPD and twice in WBB.

I will save the story of making the switch for another time!

There is nothing I love more than bodybuilding, I truly live and breath it every day

On Instagram I do not talk about the intricate details of how meticulous I am with every single aspect, as it’s just how I live and it is not something to be preached. But that is something that I will begin to share bits by bits here!

I put an immense amount of pressure on myself and let’s be honest, drive my own self crazy sometimes lol but it is just how I am wired and would be the case no matter what endeavor I am doing!

I hope through all of this you guys can see me for who I am to the core, my mindset, my ambition, and my heart more than just the details of a training session or diet!

Lastly, thanks for reading if you made it this far lol and I am here to help anyone in any way I can! I do not claim to know anything lol but I am sure glad to be any help I can be!

Thanks,

Michaela ❤️
