I know a couple people who have already won very good regional shows at bikini with very minimal prep - but they think the 45 minutes of cardio they do a day is hard WORK. They lift 2-3 x a week mostly lunges and 5lb lateral raises, etc. Then, I have to hear them talk about..
You know... I'm just going to stop now.

Great post!!! I waited over a year to prep for my first show- no way was I going to compete until I looked the way I wanted to. People told me I could have last year, but I wasn't ready. Pro card? Who cares- I think that should be the icing on the cake. Some of these girls are only focusing on that, when they should be letting everything else fall into place.
A pro card is not the be all end all, look at Michelle Brent- 25 years and done more in this sport than some of the "IFBB Bikini Pros" with a card that haven't competed.
I'd rather take a year off after this season and train for Figure- I love striving for new goals and pushing my body to the limit.
LMAO at the "take 2 aspirin and call me in 2 years comment." LOVES IT.

You don't need drugs to do well in bikini.

This is a great thread. I have to be honest, I don't care what a bikini competitor uses to get ready for a show. If she wants to do a show then she should be able to prep for it HOWEVER she wants. All that being said:
IMHO a bikini shouldn't use test ever, or androgenics.
IMHO clen/t3/small doses of nolva = fine
The one thing that jumped out at me here was the need to do it for the popularity and the desire to be "f&%ked" i.e.
"The I'll do whomever I have to win."
That's what gives the female side of the house the bad rep that it sometimes has. Of course there are men that take advantage of that too. It's sad IMO, I just wish all the people that competed didn't turn it into something twisted. Just my 2 cents.
TAGENT:
The difference between a competitor (in any division) and a fame whore is mentality, attitude and hard work to compete against yourself.
CAVEAT: While I made a general statement there are diamonds in the rough that are incredible people and who I hope compete until they can no longer compete. I just hate hearing the stories and seeing with my own two eyes the use of a $40 trophy to take advantage of and twist young women and men.James "JT" Tucci www.jamestucci.blogspot.com Proud to be a DH Disciple

When I did Bikini last year for my 2nd show at Southern States, I used Clen (prescription formula) and 20mg. of Anavar.. Honestly, the Clen was great for shedding any remaining bodyfat.. But the "Var" was the worst decision I could've made. While I was still learning my body, after being fat for so long, I didn't realize how my genetics were.. And after using the var, it got me wayyy too hard for Bikini.. Made no sense, I almost looked like a figure girl next to the bikini women, hence the reason why I placed 12th in my class. Big Mistake!

Ok so Suzanne I just saw your post on DNP.. Let me just say, that yes I did try it back in April when my hubby was prepping for his show.. Now, I have heard of all these pros using it, and honestly, I couldn't ever understand why someone would want to use it. Yes, you do shed body fat quickly, about 1 pound per day, on a small dosage.. But, you feel like straight DEATH on that crap.. I can't even begin to tell you how bad I felt after taking it.. I took it for 10 days in a row, and the first 7 days, I had chronic diarrhea, fatigue, and the worst nausea I have ever experienced in my entire life. On my second week, it was still bad, just the horrible symptoms went away, minus the fatigue.. While many people are still learning about DNP and how it affects the body, I would never ever recommend this to anyone.. And if anyone needs any information, its under Wikipedia. This stuff was used back in the day to ignite dynamite=deadly.. If you don't stay hydrated and constantly drink water, you can pass out and even death when taking too much and not knowing the side effects. The only thing positive I can say about this drug, is that I lost 1pound per day, so a total of 10pounds.. However, still was not worth the health risks involved.

Further you need to go thru a week or so of water retention while your body figures out wtf just happened, and based on the time you were incapacitated by the DNP cycle, you probably could've dropped that same 10 lb w/ diet & cardio. You exchange your wholle life for the period of the cycle for the results and feel like absolute shit, or you suck it up and do the work (and feel great that you can do the work) for about the same results.
Still... ain't nuttin for free.

Hey I wasn't saying I took that crap just to lose the weight.. Stupid me for even trying that shit.. I tried it because the coach that my hubby had put him on it and I decided to try it, in order to see how my body would respond to it. He did plenty of research on it before taking it for his last show, and the symptoms people got from it, were not nearly as bad as mine.. I am off-season at the moment and was while I tried a small cycle of DNP.. Meanwhile, I do know what it is to bust your ass in the gym, do cardio and diet, because I not only lost almost 100 pounds going from 220 to 128-contest weight.. But now I am jumping to WPD from Bikini and taking an extra year off in order to work my butt off for the new division.. The DNP is a substance that I never want to see again in my life.. LOL. Especially after the experience I had with it.. But to the Pros that do take it: You guys are definitely brave!!

Every time "DNP" shows up on a discussion thread, there's always some dumbass who is looking for the magic bullet and decides to try it when they have no time spent on anything other than binge/purge / fad diet weight loss schemes and then discovers "ain't nuttin for free". So just reinforcing what you said.

Oh trust me.. I understand completely where you are coming from. Even those who don't use DNP always asked me how I did my transformation, and want the "so called Secrets I used".. There are no secrets or shortcuts to my success.. Just sweat, tears, dieting, and tons of cardio. And yes it is true nothing worthwhile comes easy.. Im sure that if I took the "easy way out", I wouldn't appreciate the body and my health as I do now.
