“Enjoy the process. Enjoy yourself improving.” —Caroline Johnson
Unlocking the secrets to bodybuilding success isn't just about what happens on the stage; it's about what goes on behind the scenes. The post-show routine is where gains turn into victories, where muscles meet their moment, and where the true bodybuilding champions emerge. From replenishing nutrients to relishing well-earned indulgences, it's the journey from prep to party that defines true bodybuilding excellence.
Caroline Johnson started bodybuilding after injuring her knee and found that she enjoyed training and competing. She has been competing for many years now and has enjoyed exploring different categories like bikini and figure. Her passion for the sport is clear as she continues training and pursuing new goals.
Hit play and join the conversation as Caroline shares her experiences choosing expensive custom bikinis and competing in multiple shows in one year. She also opens up about transitioning between divisions due to muscle growth and offers advice for newcomers. Sherrie and Caroline also talk about the importance of being mindful yet giving time for relaxation, enjoying cheat meals, and slowly reversing diet post-show.
