Competition prep rant

September 3rd, 2014 by

Competition season is heavily upon us and as a result, Facebook newsfeeds are filling up with declarations of  #hardcore contest preps. 

Let me fill you in on a little secret: Competing in 5+ shows per year, doing two-a-day cardio sessions 7 days per week, drastically cutting calories to show how #beastmode you are, wearing a squeem, and declaring to be a part of #teamnodaysoff does not make you #hardcore. It makes you foolish for sacrificing your health and sanity, all for a trophy.
