Well, I finally got back home last night after another action-packed Olympia Week. It always seems so far off in the distance, but when the week finally comes it seems like it is over in a flash. All in all, it is always a fun, exciting week – the Olympia really is the pinnacle of the competitive fitness industry and it is always an honor to be a part of it.
I am so glad to hear so many of you enjoyed all of content I was able to share throughout this prep – it means so much to hear all of the positive and encouraging messages. I will be posting my Post-Olympia Vlog on Thursday, where I will talk about everything that happened, what I feel went well, what didn’t and my thoughts on it all – the good, the bad and the ugly 🙂
I wanted to put all of the Olympia Prep content we shot in one place to make it easier for everyone to look back on, in case you wanted to reference any of the workouts, nutrition videos, posing practice or anything else. And stay tuned for some more never-before-seen content coming up that we didn’t get a chance to post 🙂

Log in to replyHi Nicole. I know that you realize that you have an impact on people, but if there is any doubt whatsoever, I can tell you personally that you truly do. Your work ethic is unparalleled. You inspire me daily…to the point that during my workouts if I’m running out of gas on the last few reps of something I think of you and how you train and immediately I get an extra push of adrenaline to push out the last few reps. I have learned so much from you – when you personally coached me and through your very detailed, interesting and helpful website. I appreciate how you have opened yourself up to the world and are sharing your message and helping so many of us. You will get that title back! I know it! #DriveFor5isStillAlive
Awesome quote: “We grow a lot like our muscles do. When we are pushed to our limits and torn open, we recover and grow stronger then we were before”.
Not sure who said it, but it’s sooooo true!!
Hugs to you!
Log in to replyI really hope I get to meet you one day. Everything you post inspires me so much. I know I dont know you personally, but you are a beautiful person Nicole. The content and information you share is so real and open, I feel like I know you! The generous amount of information you share is a tell tale sign of how wonderful you are. Keep grinding, I have no doubt in my mind you will get that title back, we are all here to support you along the way!
Log in to replyDear Nicole
I could not believe you got 2nd place. You look just amazing and your form is just wow! it´s like you are drawn with a pencil or something, so perfect are you.
You are just one of very few that just have THAT look, your appearance on stage is so radiant you just glow, and and no arrogant, you just have it.
You´ll get the title next year, I´m SURE of it. Best of luck, I look forward to see your progress.
I wish you very best of luck Nicole

Ms. Wilkins, I really abhor being a bother, but could you, please, excuse my encroachment and apprise me of your upcoming South Florida tour dates, as I seem to seriously have misplaced my gathered data.

Nicole-
Thank you for grouping all of this information in one place. I have been a member of your site for about 2 months now, and I am in the process of training for my very first NPC Figure competition at the age of 42. You are an immense inspiration and source of knowledge for me. Your professionalism, positive attitude, and overall “class” make you one amazing woman! I, and I know countless others, deeply appreciate you sharing the experience of your journey and the invaluable information on the process. Please keep doing what you do! We need more strong women like you in the world who help build others up!
