About: Go behind the scenes with Carla K on her bodybuilding competition day at Hotel Metropolitan Montreal as she prepares for the new Fit Model category, documenting her morning routine from getting her second coat of competition tan at 8:20am to makeup application before heading to Cegep for the stage presentation. This intimate competition vlog captures Carla's unique journey from postpartum mom healing diastasis recti to competitive bodybuilder, showing how she transitioned from bikini category to fit model after focusing on core healing rather than traditional muscle building. The video includes powerful backstage moments where Carla educates fellow competitors about diastasis recti and abdominal separation, explaining to a competitor with umbilical hernias why lifting weights before healing the muscle gap can worsen the condition and why surgical repair often fails because stitches are weaker than muscles long-term. Carla demonstrates her mission even on competition day, teaching the simple diastasis recti check and emphasizing that 60% of moms have this condition without knowing it, while preparing mentally and physically for her stage appearance by staying hydrated, eating scheduled meals, and maintaining her calm pre-competition routine. The vlog showcases how proper diastasis recti healing through specialized exercises can actually enhance athletic performance and physique development, proving that addressing abdominal muscle separation first creates a stronger foundation for fitness goals, whether that's returning to everyday activities or competing on a bodybuilding stage.
