In this episode of The Atlas Podcast, I sit down with IFBB Pro Prescilla Deschenes, an athlete I’ve had the privilege of coaching for nearly three years. Prescilla opens up about her journey from amateur to pro, sharing the discipline, mindset shifts, and personal challenges she faced along the way. We discuss what it really takes to act like a pro before you even earn the title, including the importance of posing practice, balancing aesthetics, and the mental game behind achieving success in bodybuilding.
Prescilla also reflects on overcoming an eating disorder and how competing helped her establish a healthier relationship with food. For anyone looking to step up their game or seeking inspiration to overcome obstacles, this episode is a must-watch. Hope you enjoy it!

In this podcast, recorded in January 2024, we discuss various subjects with Isa Pecini. We delve into Isa's future competing plans and goals, as well as her past struggles with anorexia. From my coaching perspective, we also analyze Isa as an athlete and we compare her previous preparations to the methods we currently use for her offseason, preps, and peak weeks. Isa shares her emotional journey, from the highs of winning to the lows of losing the Olympia. This podcast was particularly enjoyable for me because Isa is a very kind and genuine person. It also marks her first English podcast, allowing listeners to experience her sweet personality firsthand. We hope you enjoy it!The Atlas Podcast is available on:
