Competing As A First Timer & Balancing Bodybuilding With Uni/ UKDFBA, PCA & GBO Figure Champ Zena

Today I have the pleasure of being joined by Zena who is a PCA, UKDFBA, and GBO Pro Figure Champion and Vet Med Student. She was part of Team DB through 2020 which was her first competitive season, and placed first in every show she entered throughout the season. She studied throughout the year and went on to smash her exams at the end of 2020. In this podcast we cover: - How Zena got into Bodybuilding and why. - What she studies and where. - What she found the most challenging about being a first timer. - Zena's tips for time management when balancing prep and studying Vet Med. - Tips for balancing AHEMS (farm especially) with training and/or contest prep. - Managing universities and loved ones expectations of you alongside a contest prep. - Dealing with weight gain post show as a first timer. - How we decided which category was most appropriate for Zena and how you could go about making this decision. - When and how she learnt how to pose. - Zena's favourite and least favourite exercises. As always thank you so much for listening! :) Zena's Instagram: @zena.louise._ If you did enjoy this podcast I would appreciate it massively if you could take the time to 'like', 'subscribe' and leave a review on iTunes I would love to hear from you if you have any suggestions/requests for future topics and/or guests so please do reach out if you do!
