In this episode, host Celeste Rains-Turk speaks with Juli Lopez, a personal trainer and owner of Iron Babe Fitness, a business student and IFBB Bikini Pro who earned her pro card at Miami Nationals in 2018. Celeste kicks off the episode the way she always does by asking Juli about her pre stage ritual. Then, Celeste asks Juli about the process she took to build muscle after always being skinny growing up. Juli explains that through consistency and goal setting she saw her body changing, eventually leading her to diligently research coaches before finding the right fight and making the decision to compete. Celeste and Juli discuss the potential her coach saw in Juli before ever having competed and what they did to bring her thoughts and projections to fruition. From there, Juli talks about her early success as an amateur and how that really set the stage for her pursuing bigger goals and aspirations as a competitor.  Celeste then transitions the conversation into the mindset that Juli took on, not just setting her sights on becoming a pro, but enjoying the journey and bettering herself as an athlete overall. Next, Juli talks about what made her decide to take a break from the stage despite being so determined and focused. Juli shares the feedback the judges gave her that led her to return to the national stage and eventually earn her pro status, as well as the strategies and approaches she and her coach took with her training and nutrition to make the necessary changes. Celeste then asks Juli the fun question of which exercises for glutes, hamstrings, and shoulders, Juli finds best for building those target muscle groups. From there, Celeste transitions the conversation to a newer topic that has not been discussed much on the show before and that is the topic of dating during prep. Juli shares her thoughts, opinions, and experiences with dating during prep and living the lifestyle of a competitor.  Next, the conversation shifts to a day in the life for Juli. Celeste asks Juli what her typical day to day looks like and Juli discusses certain rituals and practices she has to keep herself focused on her goals, despite having a busy schedule. Here, Juli talks about her idea of “don’t cheat yourself” and how that mindset motivates her to stay focused on going after her goals. Celeste and Juli discuss Juli’s business and what misconceptions and stereotypes others tend to have surrounding the concept of being your own boss. Juli also offers a discount on her booty bands with code 'Bikini20' that you can find using the link to connect with Juli in the show notes! Celeste talks with Juli about how prep has positively influenced her life and business by teaching her to be very detail oriented.  The conversation then shifts back to Juli’s career as a competitor and what it was like to step on stage next to some of the top competitors in the sport who have graced some of the most prestigious stages and what then led her to take time away from the stage and transition into her first real improvement season. Juli shares that during her prep for her pro shows she ended up injuring her hamstring, yet did not disclose that information to her coach and continued to push through to the stage. Juli also walks us through her mindset and thought process as to why she decided to continue prep and hit the pro stage shortly after earning her pro status instead of first taking an off season. Celeste asks Juli the process it took for Juli to finally find her show day look and she shares tips on how to choose the suit and hair color that best fits your physique. Finally, concluding the episode Juli shares her advice for new competitors and girls on their road to pro.  Connect with Juli: https://www.instagram.com/ironbabejl/ https://www.ironbabe.shop/ ​  Connect with Celeste:  https://www.instagram.com/celestial_fit/  www.celestial.fit Episode Time Stamps: [1:25] Juli shares with listeners her pre-stage ritual.

Plus, she’ll tell you what she thinks about competing. I’m sure these are all things that we want to know about.    Let’s get started.    Takeaways Maintain self-discipline If you don’t motivate yourself, no one will  Having a coach will simplify your journey Keep practicing and learning your body, you will establish what works for you You just got to stay focused Do whatever you have to do to ensure that you will be the next best the next time you get on stage Trusting your coach is as important Work with somebody that you can fully trust Be true to yourself Find techniques that will work for you Love what you do Offer help to others that look up to you Always be humble and willing to give    Important questions [00:07:46] How many years have even been competing?

Welcome to this week’s episode of Dropset Gorgeous Radio! I brought on another fellow Angel Competition Bikinis athlete this week. Her name is Lauren Dannenmiller. If you’re not familiar with Lauren, she was actually the overall bikini champion from Miami Nationals last year. She’s an IFBB Pro with a ton of experience, and a great outlook on competing that I personally admire and feel is really going to set her up for longevity within this sport. If you’re a competitor or are just interested in learning more about the competitive bodybuilding scene, definitely take some time to listen to this week’s episode. You will not regret it! Lauren’s background in competitive sports and gym training. Preparation for national stage: time, patience, mental health. Knowing the challenges of transitioning to off season.   Understand what this lifestyle requires; stage lean vs. everyday lean.   Willpower, motivation, and the power of a coach who can teach you about your body. Meal plans, longevity, flexible dieting approach Planning for the long haul, not just short preps Lauren takes time to explain how she first got started in competing and just how many shows she did before she did her first national show. She discusses the importance of taking time off to improve both your physique and your mental health, especially if you want that Pro Card. Lauren reminds everyone competition takes the right mindset, hard work, patience, and how you can carry it into all areas of your life. I loved today’s talk and think she gives a ton of really great advice and a good setup for people’s mindset for what they need to have in order to have longevity in this sport. Powerful Quotes to Remember: Those that want the Pro Card: Slow down. Be patient. Everything you do matters. Know why you’re doing what you’re doing.   Greatness requires a level of unbalance and over-dedicating yourself. Go see a show and understand what competitors really look like! Your coach should also be your teacher. Be prepared to be let down and then keep going!     Lauren’s Instagram @LaurenDannemiller Lauren & Kyle’s YouTube Video explaining the difference between regional and national shows:    Lauren Dannemiller For more information about Amber Morningstar follow her on Instagram, click here, or check out her YouTube Channel.

She is an extremely focused, meticulous, and dedicated individual that takes pride in her personal and professional lifestyle. Nutrition and fitness are important to her because she used to be anorexic.
