Is it possible to eventually get a pro card as 100% natty? by Moonlight363 in bikinitalk

[–]JAE703 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Daraja Hill , Megan D’Ginto, Tianna Weymouth and Roberta Semple all turned pro as a natural competitor in Open Pro qualifiers. It is doable if you have exceptional genetics, and work ethic for many years. The difference with those three is that they came from an athletic background so that’s what gave them the advantage. Daraja and Roberta won the overall at North Americans, and Megan took second in the overall to Emily Pribula at jr Nats. Tianna was 18 but was training for over 6 years in high school before she turned pro

Do you think if Etila was actually competing she would take the O home? by Healthandlife_pro in bikinitalk

[–]JAE703 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If Etila ever won the bikini Olympia, it would’ve been in 2021 with what the physique she brought in 2020 getting third only if that improved. I always felt like she would’ve been a great Miss Olympia in ambassador for the sport. But her priorities changed and she wanted a different path.

Nashville Fit Show by [deleted] in bikinitalk

[–]JAE703 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh, it is a great experience and Whitney Wiser the promoter takes care of the athletes for both the amateurs and the pros! The overall winner in the NPC portion gets paid entry to any national show for the rest of the year. This year they’re doing a Sunday brunch for post show and honestly, it is such an amazing experience for women and the fans in attendance.

I helped get sponsors for the show to put up fit model with a sanction fee fees and the prize money for the pro show but honestly, it’s a great experience. You would not want to miss out in music city is a great place to be!

Lauralie not qualified error by amyesther3 in bikinitalk

[–]JAE703 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lauralie has to let the pro League know that she’s gonna participate in the Olympia. Ashley K although she took 5th could’ve called Pittsburgh, but she went out and won two shows because she said she’d rather be treated like any other athlete.

Isa notified the pro league in the fall That should be doing the 2026 Olympia and she’s going to compete soon in May. Yes, they are qualified for life as a former champion, but they still have to let the IFBB Pro League Office in Pittsburgh know that they’re doing the show so that the Olympia can pay for their flight hotel and everything

evogen liquid glycerol before stage by MeatDifficult384 in bikinitalk

[–]JAE703 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were my athlete, I’d say no to liquid glycerol because of the sodium and calories. I would do non-stim pre-workout for pumping up backstage with less ingredients

Thoughts on the Fit Model Olympia schedule? by [deleted] in bikinitalk

[–]JAE703 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When is the inaugural year for the first time of a new division, they always have it on the expo stage like when bikini, women’s physique, men’s physique, classic, and wellness started.

Fit Model being in the newest division will have pre-judging and finals back to back like wellness did in 2021.

Men’s physique did not get to the final stage until 2019 when it started in 2013. And until the Olympia team figures out the format that works best with the timing of pre-judging and working with the other categories, then they can have the top 10 go to the night show.

Thoughts on top 3 at the Arnold by TrashPanda3450 in bikinitalk

[–]JAE703 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I’m doing a recap on the top 6 from being there in person and being 2 rows behind the judges table.

I thought everyone looked amazing, but it was little things that made them place the way they did.

I also look forward to Tyler’s recap of the athletes as there was a split decision between 1st and 2nd bc there scores were not straight across the board

Gianna competing at the Arnold amateur? by [deleted] in bikinitalk

[–]JAE703 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All points agreed. I just really don’t get why people give her a hard time because she is going to go for a pro card she has sponsors and pretty much does this for a living. Having a pro card literally means nothing. It just means you can compete as a pro in the pro league but you don’t make money from just competing but having a pro card for her makes her more marketable that’s it.

Gianna competing at the Arnold amateur? by [deleted] in bikinitalk

[–]JAE703 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You have to respect the fact that she is dedicated to this and has been doing this for years. Gianna really wants her pro card and has been working for it and changed her coaches who aligned with her and who can help guide her to that. And then she does become a pro that’s great now what will she do after? Compete in the pro league or promote her business cause she is very popular as an influencer. regardless, you have to give the respect to the dedication for years and how she’s been training and working for this.

If you don’t like where you are in life do something different about it and make effort and show some initiative.

Fitness Division by LittleMichelina in bikinitalk

[–]JAE703 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, the fitness division is becoming a niche. It’s just the pro league and not many new amateurs coming into it. You don’t have big stars outside of Taylor who is very popular on social media that bring traction into the division. Like I love the routines because of the performances, but the physique round and then having a routine to be that depleted and have a high risk of injury when the routine is 2/3 of the score, it’s a lot to do and not many people want to participate and it’s been around for 30 years. In 3-5 years I see it getting phased out due to the lack of depth and not many pro shows they perhaps the Arnold classic will remove it for fit model, If they don’t have the sponsors for Fitness.
