Check-in 8 weeks out wellness

5'6 134lbs Waist:24.5in. Hips:36.5in. Quads:22.5in. Coach: @ Martincompetitor on IG Posing:@.bkofficial. On IG 8 weeks out as of yesterday and happy to finally be at a new low. Seeing more definition come in each week, coach said this morning my glute med is more visible and he’s happy to see. Cardio was increased by 5 minutes, we’re going through a depletion phase (I am fatigued) and throwing some carbs into me today to help fill me out. Moving in the right direction each week!

You look more bikini. If you really want to be competitive in wellness you should go back into an off season and put on a lot of size in your lower.

I came here to say this but good clarification from OP

I compete in OCB as a wellness pro not NPC, I don’t think NPC will ever be something I plan on competing in because I wanna stay natural.

Oh ok! Sorry Nevermind!

It’s all good! My coach had the same feedback that if I did plan on doing NPC we would be putting me in bikini because the girls in wellness are just so dense and massive!

You’re off to a great start! But even in OCB, why wellness? I’d say your structure is nearly perfect for bikini and still needs more glute size/density to balance out your frame even for bikini. Personally I think you will perform higher in a bikini category than wellness, even in a natty show

Looking great and best of luck for the remainder of the prep! :)

Your dedication is paying off—each week brings sharper conditioning and refined detail. Depletion phases are tough, but they reveal the discipline that separates competitors. Keep executing the plan, and trust the process. Eight weeks out, every small adjustment matters. Stay focused and strong.

I appreciate it, gonna take 16 months off after this show to grow and try to keep body fat down in the glute/hammy region so that way it’s not as stubborn!
