The decision to compete is a very personal and empowering choice! Although I don’t PERSONALLY compete, I do encourage people to set goals and competing is a great way to fulfill that. I respect the decision to compete and support those who do decide to take that step!
Even though I have never competed, I get a lot of questions regarding competition dieting, competition training, and the different competition organizations. I have a lot of friends that have competed, but until now, I never had a good answer for all of the competition related questions.
Until NOW…
I reached out to my good friend Emily Reynolds to write this guide for would be competitors or people that want to know more about what it really takes to step on stage. Not only has she been very successful coaching and competing in competitions, she has done it in what I consider a positive and healthy way.
For those of you who have followed me and know about my back issues and current way of eating and training, you will notice that Emily’s competition methods are different than mine. The training style and thought process are different when comparing a ‘lifestyle’ to getting on stage for a competition…and that is perfectly fine!
BUT what I love and endorse about Emily’s way is that it is NATURAL, GLUTEN FREE, and healthy. I have known Emily for years, and she is a very good friend of mine who I have tremendous respect for.
Whether you choose to compete or not, you will truly benefit from Emily’s vast knowledge of the competition world, various organizations, how to prepare, and what to expect from the experience of stepping on stage!
I have learned a lot about the competition world through working on this project with Emily, and even if you decide not to step on stage, you will too!

Have you ever thought about competing but never knew where to begin?
Do you have a competitive nature?
Would you like to transform your body and look the best you’ve ever looked in your entire life?
Are you comfortable showing off your body when you’ve worked hard to get it into the right shape?
Do you take pride in the way you look, especially when you’ve trained so hard to get it that way? This can be extremely rewarding.
If you’ve ever considered taking steps towards training your body, improving your nutrition, and changing your life, with the dream to then show it off on stage and WIN…
Then the advice in this program is just for you! Read On!
Strutting around a stage half-naked in front of hyper-critical judges and a rowdy audience isn’t for everyone, but if just the thought of it gets you pumped, it might just be for you.
How do you know when you’re ready? It’s definitely not right now, at this very moment – we can assure you of that. No matter how good you might look in the mirror right now, you’re not “stage ready”.
On the flip side, it’s a common misconception that fitness and bodybuilding competitors look the way they do on stage, for a full 365 days a year.
You don’t have to have great genetics or be born a certain way to be successful competitively, you just have to be willing to work hard and COMMIT through the end goal. Getting “stage ready” is 48 hours of extreme prepping, but getting “competition ready” is a journey.
If you’re considering a physique, figure, fitness, or bikini competition,you must take an honest look at your current starting point, as well as the desired end point, and determine whether you have the will and the determination to get there.
If you are going to either lose a tremendous amount of weight and body fat, or gain a tremendous amount of muscle and curves, you need to acknowledge that challenge and accept that you’re going to have to work harder than your competition.
Are you willing to do that? Are you willing to stay in when your friends are going out? Are you willing to spend a significant of time in the gym and with your coach?
We are, because, win or lose (preferably WIN), we not only love the end result, we love the journey we take to get there each time.
For a LIMITED TIME—We’re giving you access to the complete Competition Handbook Program… for a price that’s almost too low to believe.
Let’s Have a Deeper Look Inside to Learn More…
You will learn all the in and outs of getting competition ready. There are so many things you need to learn when getting started and it can be a bit overwhelming. This program helps elevate some of those feelings by teaching everything you need to know to hit the stage with confidence.
This program is divided into 5 books/handouts: The Main Competition Handbook, 12 Week Competition Training Program/Tearsheets, 12 Week Competition Meal Plan, 6 Days Out Depletion Week Schedule and 12 Week Workout Calender. There are also a couple of additional checklists. One is sample “Grocery Checklist” to go along with your meal plan. The other is a “Competition Day Checklist” to keep you organized for your big day and to make sure you do not forget anything.
Emily will guide on everything from choosing the right coach, to picking the right federation, to prepping for the show, to basics of posing and stage presence, to understanding depletion week (drying out), to preparing for your show, to photo shoots and much more.
Learn everything you need to know to hit the stage and compete with the right look, right package and perfect confidence.
You’ll also learn some great tips from Natalie and Emily on various things like: how to grow your brand and social network, how to train with the right kind of intensity and tips for maintaining your healthy lifestyle.
EVERY workout at your fingertips! Each workout has 4 weeks worth (or one whole phase) on every tearsheet.
No need to keep flipping back and forth between sheets to see how heavy you lifted the previous week… It’s all there on one sheet!
Designed so you can track your progress by filling in all your sets, reps, weights and even times!
This is the PERFECT tool to keep you on track! No need to memorize or try to remember your day’s workout!
Also included is your “depletion week” workout and cardio routines for you to follow along each day.
This is a 12 week custom meal plan including a 1 week out depletion week meal plan to get you in the best shape of your life and competition ready.
Meals are broken out into 6 daily meals for each phase (example: weeks 1-4, 5-8, 9-12).
All the meals are easy to make and tasty. Eating healthy doesn’t mean it has to taste bland
This is a nutritional plan based on Emily Reynolds’ competition dieting. This is what has worked for her and her clients. This is not a recommended plan for those not competing.
Depletions can be brutal and can zap every ounce of life out of you, and frankly it doesn’t have to be that way. Emily teaches how to really fine tune things by shedding extra water weight, tightening up, and allowing your hard work to show.
This schedule is completely broken down into everything you need to do/take eachday including: workout routines, cardio sessions, vitamins/supplements (what and when to take them), daily water intake, daily nutrition, daily salt intake and even daily body prep instructions to make you look your best.
Learn the power of cutting water or “drying out.” This HAS to be done right or you can set yourself up for serious dehydration. You’ll learn how to listen to your body and slowly and safely pull the water away from your body to make your muscles appear full and defined on stage.
Learn how to properly sodium load and cut during this crucial week. This goes hand-in-hand with your water cutting. You want to look your very best on stage and we all know what a body can look (and feel) like after too much salt intake.
Never lose track of which training day it is again. We’ve thought of everything and want you to success.
Print out your 12 Week Training Program and strike out your workout each day.
Add your monthly goals right onto the sheets and mark if you have achieved or surpassed them.
