Christa Alpers getting ready for her last two shows of the season. So pleased to see the look we both envisioned coming to life. After her 2nd place last year at nationals, I made some changes to her training with the goal of reducing oblique and spinal erector engagement to shrink her waist back down to its smallest potential - in combo with that, she took it upon herself to take vacuum training to another level and really make that a huge priority this offseason. The difference is definitely showing itself. Better proportions, tiny waist, better abdominal control. Bikini is a game of proportions, unfortunately you can’t just slap a bunch of muscle on someone and say go get em tiger, it needs to be a constant game of reassessment to be sure the client is staying within the lines of the category and highlighting their best features (and for Christa-the waistline has always been the star of the show), but this year I think it will truly get to shine. I’m very excited to see how this year pans out for her 🩷.
