On May 26, 2023, I made the decision to become a competitive bodybuilder. Less than a week later, I received instructions on what I needed to do to prepare for my first competition in September of that year. At that time, I was already training with my coach, Gaby, twice a week, and it didn’t take long for her to prepare my training schedule and nutrition plan. When I first started training with Gaby, I was doing it for myself and myself alone.
