Offseason is when you can eat a little more freely and not being super strict like On Season. Offseason is where you can train harder and lift heavier because you have the energy to do so. On Season is when the strict dieting, more cardio and true discipline begins… when it is all or nothing knowing you want to be the best on stage.

The preparation in getting ready for a competition. The changes that you see in yourself as the weeks go by until the big day when you know you did all you can do in getting yourself ready and to present the best physique that you have worked so hard for.
The preparation in getting ready for a competition. The changes that you see in yourself as the weeks go by until the big day when you know you did all you can do in getting yourself ready and to present the best physique that you have worked so hard for.
The woman in the present world has shown their capacity for take challenges in all society fields and the sport is not the exception. What do you think about the female sport on the future?
I think it is good to see female athletes compete in a sport that they say are really dedicated more to men…. but a woman can workout just as hard as a man and be dedicated in the sport to where the female should be treated the same as the man in the sport because we have to workout just as hard, if not harder than they do. We should be recognized in the sweat and tears that we put in to get on stage and perform well. I just hope in the future it will be seen and us women can be treated with the respect of the sport just as a man is.
