Competitor Newbie Series: Part 12 - Post-Show Recap

She did it! 🥹 After following first-time NPC competitor Lisa Lenderman throughout her entire competition journey, we’re officially POST-SHOW! In *Part 12 of the Competitor Newbie Series*, Lisa and I sit down after the 2026 NPC/IFBB Nashville Fit Show to look back on the entire experience — from months of prep and anticipation to finally stepping on stage and experiencing her first competition for herself. We talk about the reality of show weekend compared to what she expected, the emotions that come with finally reaching a goal you’ve worked toward for months, what she learned from the experience, and how to navigate that transition from being completely focused on prep to figuring out what comes next. And maybe most importantly, Lisa gets to answer some of these questions from a completely different perspective now: not as someone wondering what her first competition will be like, but as someone who actually did it. This episode brings the Competitor Newbie Series full circle. 🤍 Throughout this series, first-time competitor Lisa Lenderman has sat down with Whitney Wiser Savage — IFBB Bikini Pro & Olympian, NPC judge, posing coach and Fit Show promoter — to openly talk through the questions, concerns, decisions and experiences that come with preparing for your first NPC competition. If you’re considering competing for the first time, start at Part 1 and follow Lisa’s journey all the way to the stage! 🎥 Watch the full Competitor Newbie Series here on the channel.
