All the training, dieting, cardio, the highs and the lows all come down to one day; more specifically, only a few minutes.

The work has been mostly done, though, you must now execute both in mind and on stage, to proudly showcase what you were able to  accomplish.

Sharing this time with others who have embarked on their own journey is very special and together, everyone gets to celebrate.

It is very likely that you will feel the whole spectrum of emotions, from nerves to excitement and even some sadness.

In this episode, we get the full run down of how Colby's first competition went.

Here are some of the main points we touch on:

• What does the check in process the day before look like? Polygraph, tanning and more

• Be kind to those running/helping out with the show: everyone is stressed and this makes their and your experience better!

• How do you go about managing your nerves and expectations on show day? It can make or break you

• What is it like being on stage all alone *gulp* and with others?

• Practice your posing, posing, posing and oh yeah, posing (it is VERY important)

• Going pro at your first show: unexpected yet welcomed; but, does it change anything?

• The end of one arc, but the beginning of an other: reflections on the journey, outcome and path ahead

How did you feel when accomplishing a big fitness goal? Body composition change, new personal best lift, anything that you are proud of!
