Omg I agree with @Paul is the king 👑- there needs to be entry for men too

In an interview with Ashley K, she said she increased muscle because her feedback was to grow. She even said “too bad fit model did come out a few years ago” 😂

Great breakdown 🎉🎉 I’m so curious to see how this plays out this year. Still figuring out where I land. 😂

Queen lexi!!! lol

Is evan talking about jessica?? STAR student. She did not look like a true novice. Stunning!!

36:00, I am glad she asked because I was also wondering that too with IFBB. Because I didn't know how it worked. I know CBum competed as an Open pro recently, and Missy Truscott just switched to Figure, but I was unsure of their "pro" status in the other divisions. I think what confused me is I follow another athlete that won her Figure and WPD pro cards last summer, so I thought maybe athletes had to earn a pro card in the division they are deciding to now compete end. I think my two brain cells are working together now 😆😆

I am genuinely confused about Steven's point at 1:13. If someone "does all the stuff", why would they not get results/improvements to their physique? And if that's true, is all the literature that shows that your physique (level of muscularity + leanness) is mostly determined by what you do, not your "genetics" (which is poorly defined), invalid? Are there really cases of people "doing all the stuff" for years and not gaining muscle, not getting leaner, not having a good physique? Then what is the point of coaching, if none of the stuff actually works and it's all genetically determined? Is the argument really that if a competitor stopped training, overate consistently, stopped moving, they'd just still look the same as they do doing all that stuff? Because I've met and personally know many people where that's clearly not the case, and you can see a huge difference in what they look like when they're not eating appropriately, not training, not being active and when they are. They also don't look particularly genetically "elite" when they're "not doing the things".

Justice for the lost episode!!

Awe no Steven that’s the worst. When the pet sitter bails last minute. Did you use wag or rover for the sitting? 😢 Happy earlier birthday Danika. 🎉

If it works for you all, I’d love a section dedicated to all things cardio: Do you go with “choose anything that means you do it” or do you prefer certain types / have a hierarchy of which you rate and those you slate? Do you advise certain clients to do certain types of cardio (whether that’s the equipment eg stairmaster, or HIIT or LISS) based on their progress, where they store fat and how much they have vs how long left? Fasted cardio yay or nay? Hypothetically, is it better to do cardio and eat more or eat less with none? Do you think it’s good to have a total break in improvement season from cardio? What do you all like to do?

Made it through the whole episode. lol Stephen. It was refreshing to see you three be so vulnerable. Ty for sharing

Paul is the king! 😂❤

Let me do it with my strong hand, it’s from Scary Movie!!!😂

👙😃

How do you sign up for the 2025 challenge

I think they’re not allowing crossovers b/c they don’t want shows to go longer.

How do you sign up for 2025 challenge

Love hearing all of your predictions on how things will go with fit model. I do love that there is this option for women. It will be interesting to see the division on stage. That will definitely help define and clear things up. Paul is the king 👑 , lexie is the queen 🎉

Loved Erin stern look, as an athlete she looked amazing and relatable

It’s like when girls were more natural building muscle look straight out it’s not for the lazy bodybuilder

I hope the cost to compete decreases due to the popularity of the Fit Model division and to help with inflation costs. This Sport is still a hobby for many and requires discretionary funds. National shows are expensive, and the entry fees are ridiculous!

I wish fit model was npc become a pro and can compete in. Bikini/wellness etc etc

Great points Lexie! I still don’t think any of the 6 divisions can overtake bikini in popularity until there is that person who can carry the division forward as the champion. When you have a certain threshold for the division’s criteria it can’t overtake others, and the hardest part will be the fine line of Fit Model and Bikini

I’m excited to be part of the first wave!!! It’s fun. I remember looking up to Erin stern. Thanks for the trip down memory lane

Paul is the King!

Paul is king 👑

Paul 👑

When I was younger and was doing pin up photo shoots the suits were always velvet so even today I am in love with velvet suits so I would appreciate seeing them in the new division for fabric.

Paul is 🤴

True novice is first time on stage in ANY division. I did figure in 2008 but couldn’t do true novice in bikini in2023

It was Nicole Wilkins Candace keene and Erin stern!!

I figured they don’t want crossovers because they can only judge on who shows up on the day so do they want girls in the fit model class skewing things

On a more reflective note, I think as a more seasoned lifter (read older 😂), having been around when bikini came in then wellness and then when bikini because bigger and experiencing the frustration of being not quite right for figure and too big for bikini as it was (what fit model will be) and then finally getting a division which suits me, I think it’s a good thing for people to be able to have that. It’s great to give people the opportunity to excel and dedicate themselves to something and train and eat well when they don’t have the genetics or time banked or desire for bikini and the other divisions Hope that makes sense. It’s just great to find your niche represented

Go back and look at what Jamie Eason looked like. I was obsessed with her! But she was in figure.......and not huge.....all the women have gotten bigger and bigger. And that is a turn off for most women.

My physique inspiration was always Monica Brant!!!

So a fitness pageant? Seems to contradictory as of yet for me. The picture they showed of Ashley K & then what Tyler said are very different from each other. I watched the video of the guy speaking on it with the 3 ladies & he said he had people asking him if they fit the division & he said “just try” this to me doesn’t sound like they even know what they want. There will be 100s of girls showing up for this division in most major cities & I can count a handful of girls at my local gym who “fit” the criteria. I think with the influx of young ladies who are into fitness this is an easy way to make money (as they should). I don’t think the winner of this division will be picked on hard work, unfortunately. Interested to see how things play out.

Thank you! Very informative!!!

Yes!!!!!!!😂🎉❤

I'm definitely looking at doing fit model next year especially as a natural athlete that has a hard time putting on and keeping up the muscle for bikini. Having videos like these to reference and go over as I look at what coaching I'll need etc is super valuable! Appreciate you guys! Lexie- I'll have to pick your brain a bit ☺️

Great tips!!!! Thanks SO MUCH!!!!

Lexi was like, “Give me the Dolly Parton,” Doc was like ummm…NO! 😂

At work right now but will listen to this on my drive home😊

LOVED this girls chat so much 😍 thank you!

I’m twenty seconds in but I had to post and say YAYYYYY I love Lawna’s RUclips channel and I’m so excited it’s Lawna and Lexie .. it’s an L Squared episode !!!

Awesome episode. No matter what division you are competing in, there are relatable points all along the way here If you are a competitor!

Great episode!

Can't wait to watch!

hahah we love Evan! Great episode. Thank you! Have you thought of having Dr Victor Prisk on the podcast?

That’s a big ASSSSSK!!! 😂😂😂

For a FEW women, a NATURALLY ATTAINABLE PHYSIQUE INCLUDES these attributes: well-developed, sculpted, jacked and powerful upper body muscle mass WITH shred, separation and vascularity; a V-shaped shredded back; an occasional/fluctuating six pack; muscular lean and well-defined legs without shred (not realistic natty); hard, sculpted, powerful and shapely glutes; a lean, but curvaceous, hourglass figure with the muscularity of a fitness competitor's physique. I had all that before the gym lockdowns (my location had super-strict lockdowns). So, it IS possible IF you have that innate talent. In order to achieve this goal, a woman needs to be predominantly fast-twitch muscle fiber, have a natural V-shaped back, the inherent muscle insertions, the mental resilience and fortitude (recovery is a bitch if you're always natty), superstrong connection tissue (includes tendons), unwavering determination, self-discipline when eating wholesome balanced food, etc. My main point is that ONLY a few women (young or middle-aged) can attain, maintain and continue to build upon this physique. Why? Women just DON'T have enough natural testosterone. Testosterone builds muscle mass and strength. So, it's that much tougher for any female. The "new fit model division" is for women who DON'T have the genetics to build ENOUGH muscle mass to look like a competitive bodybuilder. It's a type of 'DEI' for the female bodybuilding community and the industry. Why doesn't the NPC just require specific blood tests so ONLY the most talented NATURAL BODYBUILDERS can actually compete FAIRLY - in a FAIR competition?!?! DON'T let the women on growth hormones and illegal fat burners get through the loopholes!!! Give the competitors the RIGHT blood work instead of useless urine tests. Then the inherently talented natural female bodybuilders CAN compete in NPC and it would be completely fair!!! Isn't THAT better than lowering the standards? This is about bodybuilding - not typical weight training.
