Podcasts about pro card

In this episode of It's Just Bodybuilding, Ron Partlow, Dusty Hanshaw, Scott McNally and Special Guest Turner Riddle tackle a controversial question: Is bodybuilding losing its prestige? We discuss the explosion of NPC and IFBB Pro cards, whether becoming a pro bodybuilder means the same thing it once did, and how these changes may be affecting the future of competitive bodybuilding. Along the way, we break down the Italy Pro, today's competitive landscape, and what it takes to stand out in a sport that has never been bigger. 00:00 Introduction & Recording at Turner Riddle's house 01:12 Turners Home Gym, Land & Lifestyle 04:28 Italy Pro Preview & Predictions 05:40 Jordan Hutchinson, Bonac & Today's Competitive Landscape 09:00 Has NPC/IFBB Bodybuilding Devalued the Pro Card? 18:00 Sponsors, Guest Posing & The Business of Bodybuilding 20:32 Old-School vs Modern Physiques 22:08 More Shows, More Pros: Good or Bad for the Sport? 30:02 The Loss of Amateur Gatekeeping 36:16 The Lost Mystique of Professional Bodybuilding 40:34 What Does Success in Bodybuilding Really Mean? 42:12 The Economics of Running Bodybuilding Shows 47:29 The Future of Competitive Bodybuilding 50:00 Pro Cards, Prestige & Industry Culture 54:50 Competing for Passion vs Recognition 1:00:08 Why the Masters Division Continues to Grow 1:01:24 Ego, Validation & Athlete Expectations 1:02:22 Realistic Expectations in Bodybuilding 1:03:50 Coach Hopping vs Staying Consistent 1:05:50 Joe vs Nick: Predictions & Debate 1:10:30 Upcoming Shows & Athlete Storylines 1:13:14 Home Gyms, Outdoor Training & Final Thoughts 1:14:10 Wrap-Up

In bodybuilding, the stage rewards comparison.But real success? That goes far beyond trophies, placings, or social media highlights.

In this episode, our hosts dive into what it truly means to earn a pro card and whether the pursuit of the title is really worth it. Evan, an IFBB Pro, shares his firsthand perspective as an athlete, while Paul and Lexie offer their observations from working closely with competitors throughout the journey. Together, they discuss the realities of chasing the dream, what can happen once the goal is achieved, and the mindset shifts that often come along with it. This episode offers plenty of thought-provoking conversation and valuable insight.

Flex Athlete and (new) IFBB Pro John Harsudas talks with the boys about the day it all happened, his mindset on the trek to the Pro Card, and what's next to come. They also cover questions like, pros and cons of entering packed VS quiet shows. if judges should withhold pro cards from winners, if there's value in limiting growth to stay under a weight cap, and much more.

After dealing with a string of autoimmune issues and becoming a mom, fitness took a bit of a backseat. But, around 2018, a fellow photographer started their bodybuilding journey and it sparked a flame in her life.

In this week's episode of Bikinis After Babies, we welcome Brooklyn Goodsell, an IFBB Fit Model Pro, wife, mother and online coach.  Brooklyn's story is one that will truly resonate with so many women — especially mothers who have walked through the physical and emotional challenges that come after childbirth.  Brooklyn battled postpartum depression after the birth of her son 6 years ago— a mental health struggle that SO many women silently battle, yet so few openly talk about.  Brooklyn turned her deepest struggle into her greatest strength, using that pain as fuel for her transformation. Through relentless dedication, she rebuilt her body and mind, stepping on stage in the bikini division and eventually fit model this past year and earning her IFBB pro card at the 2025 Olympia Amateur after 10 years competing.Brooklyn shares how she navigated getting back on stage after having her son and working through the setbacks and obstacles that she faced along the way as well as making the switch to fit model in 2025 after a disappointing finish in her final bikini competition.  Brooklyn talks about the mental fortitude required to keep showing up as she battled for her pro card this season, eventually taking home that title and accomplishing her goal of becoming an IFBB pro!!  Brooklyn's story serves as a beacon of hope for women facing similar challenges, emphasizing that persistence and self-belief can lead to achieving one's goals.We hope that you enjoyed this episode and if so, we would LOVE it if you would rate, subscribe, and leave us reviews on how this podcast has helped you

Send us a textGuest's Fitness JourneyInspired by Ashley Kaltwasser's videos after two years in the gym.Started as a beginner with no athletic background, gained 15 lbs after marriage.Discovered bikini competitions while stationed in Japan with the military, with no social media influence at the time.First Competition ExperienceBegan competing in Germany; lacked stage readiness and had an unfit coach.Struggled with posing and mindset—initially indifferent about placing but later became emotionally invested.Learned it's normal to lose in the first show and not to expect immediate success.Competition History (7 Shows Since 2022)2022: Two shows, lacked proper preparation and results.2023: Competed in Germany, switched to a strict coach 7 weeks out, followed an intense vegetarian egg-white-based diet, and placed 3rd in Texas. Improved posing significantly.2024: Two shows after a 12-week cut, placed 4th in both, including the competitive Republic of Texas show.Lessons Learned & GoalsKey takeaway: Stay consistent with diet and training, no cheating if you want results.Big goal: Earn a Pro Card, grow during the offseason, and continue competing.Key Changes & Support SystemBest improvement: Followed the plan diligently, hired expert posing coaches (Lauren Dannenmiller or Bec from Posing School).Suit color: Aquamarine, perfectly complemented her skin tone.Transitioned careers from photography to vet tech.Training & NutritionCardio peaked at 2 hours/day.Follows a meal plan without focusing on calorie count for better mental adherence.MindsetFocus on enjoying the stage experience rather than obsessing over placing.Accepts the subjectivity of the sport; success requires patience and persistence.Cautions against gambling with shows or coaches—find a reliable support system.Closing MessageEmbrace the journey, celebrate progress, and remain disciplined—it's a marathon, not a sprint.Follow IG: https://www.instagram Welcome to Cupcakes & Protein Shakes, the podcast that gives you the tools and inspiration you need to achieve your fitness and wellness goals.

Today I speak with IFBB Bikini Pro Beckyn Mickelson who started competing in 2020. After her first show she knew she wanted to earn her Pro card but did NOT understand just how much work it would take. She won her Pro card at 2024 Junior Nationals. Competing brought out the drive she needed to not only achieve the Pro Card goal, but absolutely transformed her life. Through this journey, she found herself. It showed her how strong she was which helped her leave a miserable marriage, start her own coaching business, and now she help's other women reclaim THEIR confidence. She live in Minnesota with her cat Richard; she loves to laugh and drink champagne.   TOPICS COVERED -how competing affected health and fitness -how I healed my relationship with food -starting her business and how it's grown -the importance of an offseason -embracing the hard  -getting in the driver's seat of your own life -keeping promise to yourself -going through a divorce  -passion through coaching -prep versus improvement season   CONNECT WITH CELESTE: Website: http://www.celestial.fit Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/celestial_fit/ All Links: http://www.celestial.fit/links.html CONNECT WITH BECKYN: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beckyn_ifbbpro/   TIME STAMPS 1:00 introduction 8:00 feedback at national shows 12:01 taking a serious improvement season 18:13 healing her food relationship 22:45 supporting women in growth 25:30 pushing yourself in training 31:02 going through a divorce 45:11 gaining confidence 51:55 lessons through competing 56:44 developing passion as a coach 68:50 plans for improvement season 80:19 selling yourself short 85:40 improving posing 90:23 advice for competitors    CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE FREE FOOD RELATIONSHIP COACHING SERIES   CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE FREE POST SHOW BLUES COACHING SERIES   LEARN MORE AND APPLY FOR MY 5 WEEK FOOD RELATIONSHIP HEALING & DISCOVERY COACHING PROGRAM   FOR OTHER FREE RESOURCES, LIVE EVENTS, AND WAYS TO WORK WITH CELESTE CLICK HERE
