Why Masters 35+ Could Cost You a Trophy]]>One of the biggest mistakes I see first-time Masters competitors make is signing up for every age class they're eligible for, without understanding who they're competing against or what the judges are looking for.

Just because you're 55 and eligible for Masters 35+ doesn't mean that's where you'll be most competitive!

In this episode, IFBB Pro and competition coach Kimberly Doehnert breaks down the differences between True Novice, Novice, Open, and Masters divisions, including the 35+, 40+, 45+, 50+, and 60+ age classes.

We'll talk about muscle development, conditioning, skin tone, judging expectations, and why choosing the right age class can make a difference in your placing.

If you're planning your first Bikini, Figure, Wellness, or Fit Model competition, this is an episode you don't want to miss.

Because getting on stage is one thing. Getting the judges to pick YOU is another!

Why Masters 35+ Could Cost You a Trophyfull<![CDATA[Can You Compete Natural On HRT?]]>Can you compete in a natural bodybuilding competition if you're on hormone replacement therapy (HRT)?

This is an important question, especially for women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s navigating perimenopause and menopause while pursuing their competition goals.

In this episode of the Get Stage Ready Podcast, IFBB Pro and competition coach Kimberly Doehnert breaks down the rules surrounding HRT and natural bodybuilding competitions.

We'll look specifically at the NPC (National Physique Committee) and OCB (Organization of Competitive Bodybuilders), including which hormones may be permitted, which are prohibited, medical exemptions, drug testing, and what you need to know BEFORE choosing your competition.

Being prescribed hormones doesn't automatically mean you're not eligible to compete in a natural show. Let's clear up the confusion so you can make informed decisions about your health and competition goals.
