“There's no secret. It takes just exactly what you've always heard it takes, hard work and discipline, and you miss out on drinking and partying and all of that, at least to a certain degree, if you want to get what you want.”Achieving greatness isn't about wanting it—it's about proving it through action. Most men settle for average, but the few who embrace discomfort and discipline rise above. This episode dives into what it takes to truly commit, push past limits, and build the mindset that separates contenders from pretenders. If you're not willing to sacrifice for your goals, you'll always fall short.Today's guest proves that age is no excuse. Starting bodybuilding at 57, he faced failure, doubled down, and won his IFBB Pro Card at 60. His journey is a testament to resilience, proving that mastery comes from consistency, discipline, and an unshakable work ethic.Steve Taylor is a professional IFBB bodybuilder and coach who defied expectations by achieving elite status later in life. Now 69, he continues to train, compete, and inspire men to take full ownership of their health, strength, and success.Learn more & connect:https://www.instagram.com/steve.taylor.ifbbpro/You're invited to come to a Sovereign Circle meeting to experience it for yourself.

Gina is joined again today by the one and only Rachel Pitts! They start by talking about Rachel's latest snowboarding trip which is the perfect segue into the fear of failure and how focus, practice, frameworks, mindset, and routine help to conquer it. Leaning into the fear and taking action strips the power it has over you and builds confidence. We all know what we've read in books and the advice we get, but all that can go out the window when you're in a fearful moment. They also reflect on keeping it simple. When you find a system that works, stick with it, and let it evolve naturally. Constant tweaking never lets you know exactly what is or isn't working. When you find it - practice and consistency are the key. They also discuss the idea of "finding the switch" that takes you into the zone of mental and or physical focus, finding things that make you smile to let yourself not get fixated on the negative or unimportant things around you, and how Rachel used a garbage can to help overcome her fear on the ski lift! Rachel Pitts is a mom, IFBB Fitness Pro, and Mental Management Coach. Her first career in dance spanned the stage, television, and film. Parallel to her dance career, Rachel pursued fitness as a group instructor and personal trainer, racking up 20+ years of experience in how the human body moves and functions. Most recently, Rachel also entered the bodybuilding industry, where she earned her IFBB Pro Card in fitness division. She found that the Mental Management System is perfect for handling the pressure of the competitive arena and became a Mental Management Coach. Mental Management is the process of improving the probability of having a consistent mental performance under pressure, on demand. Rachel has also spent 10+ years in the real estate and mortgage industry and was also one of the original co-hosts of WYMWYA with Gina for the first 3 years of the podcast.

She's baaaaaack!! Yes, you read the title of the episode correctly. The original co-host Rachel Pitts has returned to sit in the guest seat this time. She also comes with information about her new book and a bit more muscle! A simple description doesn't do this episode justice. This a conversation between two old friends with a lot of history, and they pick right back up where they left off over a year ago. While Rachel's book 'Bodybuilder Basics' is about fitness and competitive bodybuilding, but it creates a jumping off point into a much larger discussion on life and business. It gets personal, moving, and motivating. So be sure to listen and share this special episode with someone that you know could use some inspiration and clarity right now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rachel Pitts is a mom, IFBB Fitness Pro, and Mental Management Coach.

Herzlich willkommen zur 61. Folge "Beauties & Beasts", dem Podcast von IFBB Pro Johanna Dürr. Ohne den bisherigen Gästen zu nahe zu treten - offiziell der beastigste Gast (neben Dennis Wolf) im Podcast: Gesamtsieger bei der Mr. Olympia Amateur in Alicante: Kevin Brucher. Der Schwergewichtsbodybuilder hat es in nur 6 Wochen geschafft, neben dem Gesamtsieg bei der Deutschen Meisterschaft (NAC) die IFBB Pro Card zu gewinnen und direkt bei seinem darauf folgenden Pro-Debüt den 7. (!) Platz in einer Men´s Open Bodybuilding Show zu gewinnen. Absolut einzigartig! Kevin berichtet in dieser Folge des „Beast-Specials“ von seinem Leben als Profi-Bodybuilder, der nebenbei noch im 3-Schicht-System Vollzeit arbeitet. Spannend ist vor allem Kevins Verbundenheit zu seiner Leidenschaft „Bodybuilding“. Es ist dann halt doch ein Unterschied, ob eine Bikini-Athletin mit 50 Kilo auf die Bühne geht, oder ein massiver Kevin mit über 100 Kilo! Wir sprechen darüber, wie der Alltag eines Schwergewichtsbodybuilders aussieht. Kevin bereitet sich außerdem selbst auf seine Wettkämpfe vor und berichtet, warum er die Kontrolle über seinen Körper nicht aus der Hand gibt. Das Interview ist wirklich genial und ich wünsche euch viel Freude beim zuhören! Es lohnt sich.

In this week's episode, Celeste speaks with IFBB Pro Kasey Wilson, a Speech Pathologist and Posing Coach with a burning passion for fitness and living a healthy lifestyle. Kasey started competing in 2016 on a whim and fell in love with the sport after winning her class. She continued to compete while obtaining her undergrad and master’s program, eventually earning her IFBB Pro Card at Universe In 2019. Kasey went on to receive first call outs at San Antonio Classic at her first pro show with an impressive seasoned lineup. Kasey and Celeste start off the episode by discussing the lessons Kasey has learned from competing on a National stage. She elaborates on why going into a show thinking you will get first can be detrimental and to embrace the journey not the placement. Kasey opens up with Celeste about prepping while her father was diagnosed with cancer and how her father’s fight gave her the strength to continue. Kasey explains how she grew up loving the arts and did not begin to lift weights until the age of 19. She gives credit to her coach for the past 4 years, and expresses how their professional relationship was key to success at growing into the IFBB Pro stage. Furthermore, Kasey states that being part of a well-known team is not a factor for judged in placement. Kasey states that although you may bring your personal best package to the stage, it may not be the look the judges are looking for that day. She also gives tips on saving money during prep to include the bikini, shows, hotels, and meals. Celeste and Kasey discuss food choices on prep and post-season. Kasey reminisces on how little she understood macros when she began her NPC journey, and now appreciates how taking a flexible approach in improvement season can be mentally beneficial. Kasey isn’t afraid to have a glass of wine or a hearty slice of cake if she believes it will benefit her in ways other than fitness, “Food isn’t just food; It is part of our social culture.” Finally, Celeste asks Kasey her favorite exercises and questions by viewers! Kasey’s realistic lifestyle, her successes in the NPC/IFBB, and a mesmerizing personality create an episode you do not want to miss!

On today’s episode I was joined by one my very first coaches and friend, Jeff Later. Jeff coached me through the 2 shows I competed in and forever grateful for his help. We talked like it was old times and hit on some great topics including keto, sustainability, metabolic adaptation and competing. Jeff got his pro card after 40 shows and boy did he earn it. More about Jeff: I had the vision to one day step on bodybuilding stage but was never satisfied with the muscular development I had achieved. After some life events I put more focus on my personal health and fitness and was able to put myself in a position to enter my first bodybuilding competition. This new challenge drove me to better myself in multiple ways and I fell in love. I’ve continued to pursue this passion of competing, culminating in earning my IFBB Pro Card in 2018. I have done many things in my business career that have varied from project management, graphic design, dietary supplement formulation, in addition to many years as a personal trainer. In my years of formulating supplements I developed entire product lines and corresponding programs. These ranged from energy drinks, to protein shakes, to fat burners, and everything in between. These products and programs have generated tens of millions of dollars and positively impacted tens of thousands of people. Coaching is not something I ever planned on doing. It came about after helping so many friends and family with their fitness goals and eventually prepping others for competitions. It snowballed from there and eventually forced (or allowed) me to quit my corporate job and work side-by-side with my wife full time. Coaching others is something I’m truly passionate about and truly enjoy. I believe living fit and healthy is a lifestyle and should fit in your life with balance.

Do you now qualify to compete as a pro? Let's see. With no intentions of discouraging you, whatsoever, becoming a Bikini professional calls for determination, commitment, hard work and a lot of patience. I mean, that's the bare minimum - without which you're bound to lose. At this stage, the angled pose and huge smile are not enough since you are competing against best of the best. More is required. First things first. IFBB stands for International Federation of Bodybuilders. And with your permissions, let me bring you to speed on the process of becoming a professional bodybuilder. For you to become an IFBB Pro, earning an IFBB Pro Card is prerequisite. And for you to earn the card, you must give an exemplary performance at a regional contest. This will earn you a place in the national championship (NPC national show), where depending on your performance, it will earn you the IFBB Pro Card. Sound easy on theory, right? While turning pro in just one shot is possible - and most of us can do it - it isn't feasibly realistic. Besides the process to be followed, your effort is key to how fast you can turn pro. So what is the realistic time frame to achieve this desirable goal? Let's find out with Jessica Palmer. Jessica is an IFBB Pro and a coach at FitBody Infusion, a team of health and fitness professionals committed to helping individuals reach their fitness goals. She also works full-time as a licensed Dental Hygienist. Through hard work and consistency, Jessica has won a pro show, won overall in several shows including her very first show where she won the Novice Bikini Overall. She recently competed in the popular Arnold’s Sports Festival, and her goal is to go to the Olympia. In this episode, we talk about what is a realistic time frame to turn pro, see physical changes, and the best tactics to do so. We also discuss macros meal timing and the best way to utilize your offseason. Please listen till the end for a chance to win a Bikini Diaries T-shirt. Take it away! Takeaways Your dream doesn't have an expiration date; take a deep breath and try again Motivate yourself to achieve your goals Success doesn't always happen right away Make sure you have the right coach Everyone's build is different Learn and understand how your body responds Find what muscle groups you need to develop Work hard Ensure your blood work done frequently Don't mess up with your prep In order to get your desired physique, you must be honest with yourself Be patient and take the time Do your research thoroughly Important questions [00:07:45] How many years have you been competing? [00:12:35] Why do you compete? [00:17:02] When did your fitness journey begin? [00:19:37] How long does it take to get ready for a show? [00:21:50] What would you say is a good, healthy amount of weight to lose in 16 to 20 weeks? [00:27:37] What would your approach be taking the year off? [00:31:09] Can you describe the results you may get in your first show? [00:34:47] What do you think is a more realistic timeline to turning pro, or go to the Olympia or even the Arnold? [00:36:53] How many shows are these professionals actually doing before they make it to the top?

[01:04:57] I feel like you have a lot of carbohydrates in your diet. Should you share your macros like four weeks before a show, and then two weeks before a show? [01:07:49] What are your next goals? [01:09:41] Do you have any mentors in the sport? [01:11:29] What piece of advice would you give to someone wanting to become a professional in the sport?
