This week we are joined by April Conley, IFBB Bikini pro who is a posing coach, a wife and mother of 4. April has been competing for 3 years and earned her IFBB pro card at North Americans in 2022. April experienced the passing of her late husband and turned her pain into a passion for fitness after she realized that she needed a goal and something to look forward to in order to help her through the grieving process. Eventually this passion turned into the pursuit of competing and she earned her IFBB bikini pro card and has been climbing the ranks ever since with her most recent victory- a masters pro win at the Klash Series Southern USA championships in May of this year. April shares her top tips for juggling family life and bodybuilding and how her passion for the sport has led to helping others as a bikini posing coach!

Strap in as we introduce you to the dynamic duo, Nate and Bruna, whose love for bodybuilding is as strong as their marriage. From Nate's teenage years, where he morphed from a lean runner to a muscle-clad champion eyeing a pro card, to Bruna's triumphant rise from being bullied in Brazil to dominating the Olympia Wellness stage, their stories are a testament to the transformative power of fitness. Alongside the weights and wins, these two also share the intimate details of how bodybuilding was the linchpin in forging their bond—a love story with a side of protein shakes and deadlifts. The journey doesn't stop at romance; it's also about the balancing act of coaching and being coached by your significant other. Imagine navigating the minefield of cravings during a clean bulk, or the blurred lines between husband and personal trainer. We get real with Nate and Bruna as they open up about the struggles and successes of their unique dynamic, offering an authentic view into the art of maintaining a thriving professional and personal relationship amidst the muscle-sculpting madness. Plus, they let us in on the secret sauce of striking the perfect pose with help from Christian, the Instagram guru of bodybuilding stances. It's not just flexing; it's strategic artistry, and this episode is your backstage pass to the show. --------- EPISODE CHAPTERS --------- (0:00:28) - Fitness Journey of a Bodybuilding Couple (0:15:45) - Coaching Challenges and Marriage Navigation (0:20:35) - Posing Coach and Learning From Feedback Follow Fitness Junkeez on IG!! https://www.instagram.com/fitnessjunkeez/ Follow Fitness Junkeez on TikTok!! https://www.tiktok.com/@fitnessjunkeez Follow Gio Elmore on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gioslogic/ This is a Podcast Junkeez production recorded out of Sticky Paws Studios in Las Vegas, Nevada. https://stickypawsstudios.com

Welcome to the very first episode of Masters Muscle with 8x Masters World Pro Vinny Galanti. This is a new format where we focus on the over 40 athlete. Our first guest is Promote, Judge and Posing Coach, Gary Udit.
When we decide to get in shape, we usually opt for salads, lemon, water, or hiring a personal trainer. Nowadays, many of us are doing fitness challenges or even going further to compete in fitness competitions. All of these are great endeavors, but many of us overlook the degree that nutrition plays in our overall fitness goals. It becomes hard to stick with restrictive diets, so we often revert to unhealthy replacements, subsequently removing our energy, making us cloudy and unmotivated to stay active. A nutritionist can help make these dips less frequent and easier to bounce back from, whether you are an athlete or a babe who wants to keep her body tight! In today's episode, we are joined by Michele Bland-Muzny, Nutritionist, Posing Coach, and Therapist. She will highlight some of the traps of dieting, the benefits of working with nutrition, and how to know if a nutritionist is right for you! We'll also talk about my experience working with her during my competition preparation and how it affected my mind, body, and soul. I hope you enjoy it! XO, Kim

Welcome back you guys! Imma gonna ruffle some feathers today…are you ready? Posing workshops and posing coaches are popping up like the kernels in jiffy popcorn on the stove from 1950. Yup, I said it, and you might be thinking it. You probably don't know which posing coach you “NEED.” You probably have no clue if you will ever pose “right” either. All you know is that if you even think of posing on your own you are going to fall apart and totally bomb on show day. All of this couldn't be further from the truth and is just a bunch of intimidation brought on by people who know how much competing MEANS to you. So I'm going to lay into the industry hard today and share a whole of of truth talk and an honest perspective about what it is you actually need….and it's probably NOT going to be something you want to hear. I'm going to share my own first hand experiences as a competitor when I bombed my first figure show….WHY this happened…. And what I did about it from not only a competitor's standpoint, but how it drove me to do what I do today for competitors in all divisions and federations. I will also share something I spent years putting together and am just now making available to the public for the first time ever at www.posingwinsshows.com Key Takeaways: *What it was like before there were “posing coaches” (2:30) *Why I declined a request to work with me (6:08) *What you will learn at a workshop (8:12) *The goals in the sport of bodybuilding (8:53) *The drastic differences I noticed over the years in my clients' speed of progress (11:20) *My first experience at a workshop 15 years ago (12:58) *How and why I bombed my first figure competition (15:47) *My posing practice curriculum for men and women in every division and federation is at posingwinsshows.com (19:17) Additional Resources: Fool proof your posing practice by grabbing my curriculum Grab some “My Own Motivation” swag at shop.killitwithdrive.com ----TRANSCRIPT---- Welcome back you guys… I'm about to ruffle some feathers today and I'm totally ready. I promised you guys I would keep it real and say the things that need to be said in the bodybuilding industry. So here we go! Posing workshops and posing coaches are popping up like the kernels in jiffy popcorn on the stove from 1950. Every time I log into instagram I see another person offering their posing services and another workshop with tons of pros there to show off their amazing physiques. Just the other day I saw a 20 minute video talking about tips for bikini posing that over explained how to make the only two poses that are required in that division and federation. Let me say that again, two. Two poses you guys. Not 10 or even 100. We are talking TWO poses. 10 years ago when I started hosting weekly posing workshops at the gym I owned, this was long before there was even such thing as a posing coach. The private sessions I did were not to teach the fundamentals of posing. The private sessions were to make people great at posing. Create choreography for them to work on. By. themself. Teach those who had two left feet how to go from walking like a linebacker to walking like a super model. That's what the posing lessons were for. To level people up. Not to teach fundamentals. Fundamentals should be done on your own. To become great at something, it takes practice. And a lot of it. Anyone that can stand in two poses can claim to be a posing coach these days. To me, these people should be called, posing practice partners, not posing coaches. A coach levels you up, teaches you a new skill, but does not replace the work that you need to do on your own. Think about it this way. You have a coach that provides you a nutrition and training protocol. With online coaching today you might never actually meet your coach in person either. You are given a program that you are expected to execute. You design your day, your week, around your training schedule, grocery shopping, and maybe even food prepping if you are really on point. I am going to bet, and this might be a long shot, that your workout program includes more than just two excercises. Am I right? And I am even furrrrrther gonna bet that each of your workouts are done. By. yourself. You practice the same workout every week and push yourself to get better at the exercises until you get a new program. Your coach isn't with you by your side while you do your cardio, or while you do your workouts, right?. Why not? Because your coach isn't a practice partner. Your coach is there to monitor your progress, not hold your hand while you do the work. I can't help but think about basketball for a second. When I was in middle school my dad sent me to basketball camp where I learned how to shoot a basketball properly. After camp, I took the skills I learned home with me and I practiced the hand position on the ball, the form of my arm when bringing it up to aim at the hoop, and the follow through of my hand as I shot the ball into the net. I practiced these skills over and over and over again. I became really good at shooting a basketball and ended up competing in free throw competitions. One day the coach of my basketball team asked me to teach the new people on the team how to shoot a basketball. So I showed them the same techniques I learned. They took the skills I taught them and practiced over and over and over again. One of the girls I taught how to shoot a ball became so good that she made the varsity team her freshman year and was recruited by colleges. She didn't become a college level basketball player from meeting with me once a week to learn the same skills on how to shoot a basketball. She took the things I taught her and ….. practiced them. I've shot a basketball so many times in my life that even today my husband has yet to beat me at the game of horse. He creams me at air hockey so I guess we are even. With team sports you have the luxury of meeting with the team 6 days a week to practice. With an individual sport, you have the luxury of not having your success depend on others; however, your success does depend on whether you were diligent with all components of your prep. If you half assed any component of your competition prep, it will reflect in your placement on show day…or be the one thing holding you back from either going pro… or from being a pro that's competitive. Recently I had someone reach out to me looking for posing instruction. I assumed she was new to the sport but when I asked her what her goals were, you know what she said? She said that she had actually done very well at her competition and wanted a posing coach because she wanted to feel more confident the next time she got on stage. She knew the poses she needed to make on stage, but wanted to feel better about them. So I asked her….how much time are you practicing your posing? She says, well, I haven't really practiced. I said to her, you don't need me. You don't need to spend thousands of dollars to work with me so I can stand next to you or sit on a camera and practice with you. There are plenty of posing practice partners on social media looking for extra cash. With training there are hundred of exercises to do, and somehow you aren't mind blown on how to do them on your own once you are shown the fundamentals. Right? So let me ask you this, why is standing in place and holding 2 or even 4 poses any different? The poses don't change unless you change federations. And if that happens, a stop at a local workshop for the federation will show you what the new poses and stage walk requirements are. You know what I think it is? I think people have no idea where to start with a self practice on their posing skills. Exercise has become such a commodity with workout programs available anywhere that it's second nature to do them on your own. But posing practice? Right now social media will have you think that these two or four poses are so complicated that you will fall apart the minute you try to do them on your own. That the only way to become good at them is to hire a posing coach. As a posing coach, here's a truth bomb…you are wasting your money. Go to a workshop or come to me once in a while to learn a new skill or how to pose for a new division or a new federation since my expertise is being able to switch between all divisions and federations. Come to me to level up not to be a practice partner. Today, you have the workshops available like every week all around the country. If you are new to the sport, you should go to one so you can learn the fundamentals in one day, because, like I said, sometimes it's only two or maybe even four poses total in the whole performance. You don't need to go to a posing coach once or twice a week leading up to a show to practice your basic poses. If you are doing this, you are using the lessons as a crutch to get practice time in and unfortunately not getting enough practice to be great. With all the time, effort, and let's face it, the mortgage payment it costs to actually do a show, why would anyone want to leave a stone unturned? And I really mean it, you are literally leaving a stone unturned. Let me explain…bodybuilding is a sport based on aesthetics. You might be thinking, well, duh michele, it's all about the physique, but stay with me for a second. Yes, you create the best physique you can with training and nutrition. But then there is your ability to DISPLAY your hard work in the mandatory shapes required for your division. Most people AT LEAST think about the nutrition and training part every day. You probably even prepare your entire week around your workouts. You meal prep. You grocery shop. You wake up at ungodly hours to get your workouts in because you want to look your best on stage. But the thought of posing practice? It's just as much of a nuisance as doing a few stretches after your workout because you think stretching is boring. Which is why you get better at your training every week, get stronger, more agile, more confident. And why you also get more tight and less mobile so when it comes time to execute poses, you are wound so tight that you can't contort your body into flattering shapes. And on show day you might even score lower than you should. Bodybuilding, no matter the division or federation, is a sport about shapes, angles, and of course size, symmetry and conditioning (relative to the divisions). There is no one on stage with a caliper measuring to make sure you hit a certain bodyfat. No one is up there asking you how much cardio you did and throwing you off stage because your heart rate wasn't in the fat burning zone. Or testing how much you squat or bench. This is not a powerlifting sport. Or a test of who worked harder. This sport is based on 100% nonverbal communication on stage. And to be a champion, a winner, a pro, you need pro level mindset. This means you don't skip doing the things that you don't feel like doing. If you want to leave no stone unturned preparing for a show, it's not going to be just from focusing on your nutrition and training. You need a champion mindset that drives you to practice every component of bodybuilding, boring or not. The first time you hit a bodybuilding pose, no matter what the division, it's going to feel awkward. They ARE awkward shapes. However, the more you do them, the more you will relax in them and look more natural. This happens automatically. With practice. A lot of of practice. Ever hear the saying, “hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard.” Back when I still accepted clients that wanted to learn the fundamentals, I noticed that there was a drastic difference in the progress of people who used our sessions as their only posing practice. Week after week they would come and we would spent 80% of the session practicing the same things as the week before. Over time, they did become better but progress was at snail pace. Of course they became better because with anything, the more you do it, the better you get. It should have taken a fraction of the time to learn two poses. I could have taught how to walk like a super model. Be a show stopper on stage. Things that make someone a stand out. But we never got there. If you practice one a week, guaranteed, you will never be great. It's doing the unsexy stuff in between sessions that makes you great. Those who followed my protocols, used our sessions to learn advanced skills so they could be show stoppers. 1 on 1s are great, but they aren't the secret sauce. They do not replace the required practice time needed to become great. Repetition is the mother of all skill. Now I know what you might be thinking, thanks for the pep talk, but I don't know where to begin to create a formal practice on my own. I prefer the accountability of someone there letting me know I'm doing things right. This show means a lot to me. I've never felt great about myself and I really want to do well and I don't know where to even start. Let me tell you a quick story. The first time I went to a workshop dedicated to fitness and bodybuilding competitions was about 15 years ago. I remember looking around the room at the girls that had obviously competed before and was in awe with their confidence. Their physiques were what I wanted mine to look like, their hair was put together, and they wore sports tops and short shorts so effortlessly. And then there was me. Baggy clothes to hide my physique embarrassed because I wasn't in contest shape. Sweating profusely from nerves. And sitting off to the side because I didn't feel like I fit in. Growing up I made mud pies, collected salamanders, and when I started playing sports, I was the only girl on the baseball team. Sitting in this room reminded me somewhat of being in the locker room in high school wearing baggy shorts and a t-shirt and lacing up my high top sneakers for basketball practice while the girls who were getting ready for cheerleading practice put on their makeup and fixed their hair. I can still see the cloud of hair spray and can still smell their perfume. Fast forward to this workshop and I was completely intimidated by the room I was in. I felt so awkward and out of place. When it came time to put on our shoes and practice walking around the room I started to shake a little inside. I hid it well by just staying quiet but I dreaded any moment where I had to do something by myself in front of the group. Why was I so nervous and intimidated? Because I was doing something completely outside of my comfort zone. I had competed successfully in bodybuilding competitions but I wanted to switch to this new category called Figure that just came out. Again, this was like 15 years ago. Figure was supposed to be an alternative to the fitness division, meaning, the physiques were supposed to look like the fitness competitors but not require the routine. At the time, Fitness was still a huge category in all federations. There were tons of really quality athletes! When figure came out, it was supposed to provide an alternative for fitness competitors because the routines in fitness were demanding and injuries were frequent. Up until this point, fitness didn't interest me because of the routine component, so I had only competed in bodybuilding. The issue with bodybuilding for me was the contest prep was so demanding that I couldn't compete often and struggled to find balance in the off season. I thought figure would be the perfect fit with a more athletic but not super shredded look. Boy has that changed over the years! Anyways, competing in figure meant I needed to learn only four poses. And being a bodybuilder previously, the four poses for figure were actually the same four quarter turns I already knew from bodybuilding. The only difference is I had to do them in heels. The extra pose I needed to know was a presentation pose, or a model pose, as I call it. And that's about it. I left the workshop knowing exactly what poses I needed to do on stage and proceeded forward getting ready for a show. But you know what I did with what I learned from the workshop leading up to the show? Absolutely nothing. I practiced ZERO times on my own leading up to my first show. I think I went to a couple group posing practice sessions but that's it. I borrowed a suit from a fellow competitor and showed up to the competition thinking the only thing I really needed was to get my physique in the absolute best shape and slap a tan on. I had done bodybuilding routines in front of a crowd and won best poser awards so I felt that I was good and would rise to the occasion on show day. I felt the workshop and a couple practice sessions gave me enough info and I would be fine. Then the show day comes and I completely bomb on stage during my individual routine. I remember being on the side of the stage and not being able to stop my leg from shaking. I was so outside of my comfort zone with my sparkly suit and blinged 6 inch stiletto heels. The girls around me all looked amazing and confident and there I was feeling like the high school basketball player who grabbed the wrong shoes for practice. I was used to feeling stage freight growing up, but I was not used to failing. No matter what I did, I always gave my all, and was a high achiever. I remember my sophomore year in high school I literally audited algebra 2 class because the year before I bombed the class. I was always a straight A student so this was just unacceptable for me. So I asked the teacher if I could take the same class for no credit so I could learn the material properly. And, yup, I did every assignment, took every quiz, every exam, and although my A wasn't scored on my transcript, it was my A. So when I completely bombed my performance at my first figure show I didn't wilt like a flower. I realized that I was perfectly capable of performing on stage and looking confident. Perfectly capable of hitting these four poses. I had done it before with bodybuilding. And the only reason I bombed was because I failed to practice. I didn't need a coach to walk me through my same four poses. Going to a practice session here or there was never going to be enough. I needed to practice posing so many times, in my heels, that I didn't need a mirror to make an adjustment. Just like I did with my bodybuilding routine…I needed to know how to pose, move, walk, in my sleep. I didn't need a coach to walk me around a room so I could get used to walking in high heels. I needed to practice walking in heels every day. With bodybuilding there is not only the four mandatory quarter turn poses, you also have muscularity poses that are scored. For divisions like figure there are only four poses. And for the bikini divisions, a lot of times for bikini there are only TWO poses you guys. TWO. Once you know these two poses, you don't need a coach to walk you through turning from front to back 100x in a session, you need to save your money and find the time to practice these poses on your own every day. Guys I hope some light bulbs went off for a bunch of you today. A lot of you are allowing intimidation by others to get the best of you and your capabilities on your own. You can look amazing in your poses and move with ease with the right amount of practice. You don't need to spend thousands of dollars to hire someone claiming to be a posing coach only to really be getting overpriced practiced sessions. If you want to fool proof your practice for the first time ever I'm making my posing practice curriculum for men and women in every division and federation available to the public at posingwinsshows.com . My methodologies, tools, and secrets will literally take all the guess work out of everything you should be doing every day. I even added accountability as a bonus so people can get feedback on their posing no matter the division or federation. You will never not know if you aren doing things right or wasting money on private sessions to find out. If you are doing bodybuilding show, you are a special individual. Very few people can do what we do. Day in and day out we prepare. We are consistent. Driven. Focused. And super competitive. Before now there has been a ton of holes in people's contest prep. I've been there myself with my first figure competition and that experience has driven me to not only never let that happen again to me, but to never let that happen to you either. So again for the first time ever my protocols are available to the public. Grab your headphones and tune in on your next cardio sesh or commute by going to www.posingwinsshows.com. For those who I shared the link with privately the past couple of months, thank you for all your feedback. I redid things so you might want to check out posingwinsshows.com again. Thanks again every one for listening. I will continue to share with you a whole lot of realness in this sport. Please rate and comment in iTunes and share to spread the word so others can hear some real talk. And stay tuned because I have some incredible interviews coming up with people not afraid to say things that are uncomfortable in this sport. My kinda people. Later guys…

Hey Guys and welcome to the first episode of KZPT Audio for 2021 I hope you all had a relaxing break, I know I did, and hoping we're ready to absolutely crush 2021 and achieve a post lockdown body you can be proud of. If you have always been curious about physique sports and competitive bodybuilding, or when you see someone compete you're not quite sure how they pick a winner, or what the judges are looking for then this is the podcast for you. Vicki Arief has spent the last 20 years on the judging panel of multiple bodybuilding federations and worked with thousands of competitors to bring their best physique to the stage. We're going to talk about each division and what the judges are looking for, we're going to talk about the physique and how to make it look as presentable as possible to showcase your hard work and I think straight away you're going to be able to tell how passionate vicki is about beautiful bodies. If you're thinking about competing in 2021 and beyond then this is a must listen, As there is a big chance if you're competing in Melbourne Vicki will be on that judging panel critiquing your body and this is an easy way to find out what the panel is truly looking for. If you have a friend competing this year I would love for you to share this podcast with them, There is so much in this interview that does not get spoken about on any other platform and can help them avoid a lot of first timers mistakes.

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!

Grab your Bikini Diarie's Honorary Tee to support the podcast https://naiymafit.com/shop/ Use code: bikinidiaries for 20%off For the first time in Bikini Diaries, we get to hear from someone living on the other side of the planet. What excitement! Now, think about these two scenarios: You want to do something and you have widely available opportunities - all you have to do is put in the work. On the other hand, you want to do something but you have limited opportunities. While bikini competition may be popular in some parts of the world with diverse platforms where you can accumulate your points, this is not the case for every athlete. For some contenders, it is an extreme struggle to garner enough point due to limited shows in their home country. This makes it even more difficult for them to achieve the very goal that most bikini girls, if not all, want to achieve, which is making it to the Olympia. On the occasion you fall in the first category, you are very lucky and you should not leave any opportunity unturned to achieve your goals. If not, this should not deter you from achieving your goals because as always, I got you. Jade McKee is a true example that hard work pays. Jade McKee is an IFBB professional, a Posing Coach and a Physiotherapist. Jade kicked off her fitness journey in 2011 and competed in her first-ever bikini competition in 2012. Reaping the benefits of her hard work, Jade won overall Women's Bikini Fitness title at the Arnold Classic Australia in 2015. For the fitness enthusiast, this was her 17th show in six successive seasons in three years. Jade has competed in international shows such as the heavily contested Arnold Classic Europe where she took the fifth spot in her division. In the meantime, her plan is taking a one year break from the sport. Today, in this episode, Jade shares with us her many attempts to stepping on stage after achieving her pro card and why it took her almost two years to do her pro debut. She will also share with us how she battled depression and the method she took to overcome this. Furthermore, we will also discuss her experiences of working with the well-known coach, Kim Oddo, and how the tactics she learned from him differed from using a registered dietitian. So much content we have in store to explore today. So without further ado, let's get into it. Takeaways Live life with no regrets Build your own enthusiasm Don't just set goals, work toward achieving them Don't give up on your dreams Always remember why you started in the first place If you really want to do it, it is possible Surround yourself with a supportive team It takes time, but just keep working Be comfortable with how you look Do the best you can do and keep growing the best you can Don't put too much pressure on yourself Don't get knocked down when you get feedback from the judges that you might not feel is right Keep working, keep showing up Important questions [00:06:05] How many years have you been competing?

I SURVIVED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND A CRAPPY COACH Definitely, you hire a coach with a hope that they will help you realize your full potential or achieve your professional or personal goals. But sometimes your coach may do more harm to you than good. Now, as a learner, is it advisable not to just follow blindly on the things your coach asks you to do. This way, you will be in a position to tell if your coach is helpful or they’re just after your bucks. Sometimes also you have to listen to your gut feeling. I’m excited about this episode because this is absolutely what Jasmine will be talking to us about. Jasmine Gonzalez is an IFFB Bikini Pro, and a US Marine Veteran. She is currently a Posing Coach.

Takeaways When you feel you've reached the end, talk to someone.

[00:20:11] Do you think that joining the Marine Corps had anything to do with maybe trying to find an escape from what happened to you when you were younger? [00:21:54] When you got married, did you feel like you got married for the wrong reasons, then? [00:22:41] Was it something where it happened and then you knew right away this wasn't for you?
