Confessions of a Bikini Pro

KIKI MCCLELLAN


Listen Later

Today, I speak with IFBB Pro Kiki McClellan, coach for Team Boss Bodies. She earned her Pro card at NPC Nationals in 2020 after a long pandemic prep! Prior to bodybuilding, she was a competitive cheerleader and dancer. She credits this past experience with her comfort on stage. Kiki talks about how she utilizes her education in her coaching career to help women bring their best to the stage. Her first experience with a coach really opened her eyes to what NOT to do during a prep. Through her 2020 prep, Kiki found the confidence and belief in herself that she could turn Pro. She was reluctant to broadcast her goals because she was afraid of what people would think if she failed. She believes the isolation she experienced in 2020 allowed her to put her head down and grind to reach her goal. Once she decided to make the jump to the National circuit, Kiki didn’t want to leave anything to chance or have any thoughts of “what if” during her prep. Kiki tells us how her goals have changed over time and how her path has taken her to places she never expected!

 

Kiki has so much knowledge to share! Her insights into meal plans and macros are epic! You don’t want to miss this conversation!
