The final show of Season A is done — and the Nationals did not disappoint.

In this episode of The Hourglass Podcast, Tim, Kareen, and Sam break down everything from the Wellness showdown to the standout performances in Bikini Junior, Novice, Open, and Fit Model divisions.

We recap the Bikini Nationals, breaking down the physiques, posing, feedback, and what separated the new pros from the rest of the lineup.

We cover:

• Bikini & wellness competitor analysis

• Posing techniques that stood out — and what cost placings

• Who showed pro potential, and where improvements are needed

• Mindset, performance, and how to approach Nationals and beyond
