Hello,
I was just curious if there was a community of weight lifters/ physique competitors on here. I am in the process of a 8 week cut for a competition I have in the fall. To decrease my body fat percentage from 18 to 13%. Just would like some people to talk to. Work through some of my problems with etc. If you are interested add me or feel free to send me a message!
Thank you, Nicki

    yes and yes.

    some lift, some are physique competitors, some are power lifters, some do comps for lifting...

    There are probably groups for this as well...if you search "physique" you might find some.

    I am a weight lifter but non competitive.

    Yes and yes.

    I like being pretty- and I like picking things up.

    So- I lift in lip stick.

    I am planning on entering a physique competition in September but I am a true novice. Never competed.

    Going from 13 to 8% might be a little tight in 8 weeks. Depends on your body. Definitely doable. I have been told (take this with a grain of salt - I'm a newbie) that you should allow 10-12 weeks just in case there is a hiccup. Hope you so well in your competition.

    I sent you a request!

    I'm a powerlifter. I am aiming on dropping a weight class (~20 lbs) in real weight loss for may of next year, but I've had some decent luck with cutting water weight on 24-hour weigh in events, close to 6 lbs. Unfortunelty, half the events I do are 2 hour weigh ins, so that doesn't really work.
