My next secret to successfully competing in a Bikini
competition is to use a minimalist approach.
First, let’s cut straight to the chase and define what constitutes a minimalist
approach:
The minimalist approach = Getting the most results possible (body
fat loss, muscle gain) from your training by doing the least amount of exercise
and “dieting” possible.
You, like most women, may be thinking, “Wait. Say,
what?!? Don’t I need to train in “beast
mode” to get that shredded bikini physique?
Are you telling me there is a shortcut?”
No, there are no shortcuts.
What I am suggesting is a more intelligent approach that allows the final
competition prep “beast mode” phase of training to be shorter, more intense,
and much more effective in removing that last bit of stubborn body fat that separates
first from last place.
Many women who decide that they want to compete in a Bikini
competition (or not compete but attain a bikini competitor like-body) tend to
go all out as soon as they commit to competing.
Many women have the mindset of an “all or nothing” approach and
immediately restrict their food intake and hit the gym every day for 2+ plus
hours with the idea that “I am going to sweat this fat off!” They also tend to research Pro competitor’s pre-competition
training programs and copy what they do for their own prep instead of what they
actually need. I truly applaud you for
your mental toughness and determination to succeed but what if I told you that
this approach can be dangerous and, in fact, counterproductive to getting that
bikini body?
The minimalist approach is taking on the total opposite
mindset. The true minimalist seeks out
the least amount of training stress possible to achieve the most amount of
results. Then, when the results start to
plateau, the minimalist gradually manipulates variables (i.e. training,
nutrition, recovery) to keep the results coming. It’s not about being lazy, it’s about being
smart and taking a sustainable, more effective approach.
Not a believer?
