[Music]
we saw kind of a problem happening they
were counseling female bodybuilders
division and the shows both of us being
fans were really concerned and man we
didn't even know what to do we just
stepped in there's still a lot of people
out there they can't accept the idea
that a woman has muscles that woman is
physically strong and that's one of the
things that I would really love to see
change in this industry we call each
other iron sisters and um so many times
we'll see people be mean to us because
we're different and to put them up on a
stage and celebrate that they're
different I have the utmost respect for
them people are looking at their body
and they're looking at them but they're
not seeing what's inside and what's
inside is someone who was brave enough
to just say this is what I want no
matter what the world tells me
it's not a sport where you can just go
the gym and go out and drink a beer with
the buddies you know it's like you're on
schedule with your food you got a time
you either eat on time you train on time
you do cardio on time everything is very
detailed there's no such thing as just
being lucky you know anything in life
you got to work hard at it especially on
ourselves wherever I go people will say
oh that's a body over so I feel that I'm
even stronger representing my sport with
my appearance so if I act like crazy or
yell at people or do whatever you know
it's not just a bad reflection on me but
also on the sport I just love chicken I
think I can I know how to make chicken
100 different ways no joke cook big cook
for the week then it's just easier come
on in hey awesome sorry I was just
eating well it's all good
nice big case good excited it's kind of
excited yeah yeah two days ago I know
I'm nervous for you I mean the shapes
there I know I think whenever something
is different like at women is like super
masculine sigh oh she wants to be a guy
or but she wants to be a transsexual or
it's like people are trying to find some
kind of like weird explanation or
overthinking maybe that's just my ideal
of beauty maybe I'd like to be strong
mentally and physically and it makes you
be better do better it builds character
it builds discipline
I always kind of had it in me that I
wanted to be the best I like to be
different
I like the extreme and also be a role
model inspire people like I was inspired
I'm like an online trainer and coach so
I draw up diet plans training plan stuff
like that so I'll work a little and then
I'll go back to the gym in the evening
and do another hour of cardio another
session sometimes I also do some posing
I like the feeling like when people look
at me even like if I go power walking
here I get a lot of comments like wow
[Music]
this body building is like you can
decide what kind of size you want and
that's why we also have so many
categories today it's not just
bodybuilding anymore it's bikini Ficker
Fitness physique bodybuilding so it's
all like about muscle shape but it's
like small bigger a little bit blue and
biggest and I'm in the biggest category
[Music]
you think of bodybuilding you think of
men and the women had to fight to be on
the stage they thought and said that
that was too muscular even as an amateur
like okay my goal is to go to the Miss
Olympia to be the best in the world and
so now you're telling me there's no
place for me like now what
when I talked to the competitors most of
us we all have that same conversation
that we have this place to go this place
to you know compete and that's exciting
that will be off days where you doubt
yourself
have I made the improvements will it be
good enough am i working hard enough am
i doing the right things people are
always on your side when it's going well
and you're winning and then when you're
down and it's going bad they're like oh
you know maybe you should just give up
no my motto is it's hard to beat someone
who doesn't give up but I'm definitely
getting excited I mean it's like this
sport is all about preparation so it's I
started second of November last year to
prepare for this competition the prize
money for this show was it's pretty high
so it's $50,000 cash and a $65,000 Jeep
last year I was second I'm one of the
favorites to win this year so I hope
that I have the package that the judges
were like
[Music]
that's really nice very pretty good yeah
okay
you happy with the coloring and selfish
body yes I can I was gonna ask him
deepen it a little bit but I know we
like it lighter but if you want I can
just leave that a little bit yeah let me
get this I have to be at rehearsal in
five minutes okay so we got to make
quick I have the opportunity to win this
competition so I don't want to
compromise is this crazy like my phone
has been beeping like the whole thing
like crazy it's just really uh just
really emotional for me you know that my
friends and my family and you know they
are all behind me and I just get like so
many messages for everybody this is my
sister she's pretty buckle to you yeah

[Music]
this is the 18 best bodybuilders female
body bills in the world 18 vests that
came from all over the world flying to
compete
[Music]
I know you you look at a female
bodybuilder and you probably feel like
oh I don't want to be that muscular
that's too much this is 2016 we're not
at a place where we're trying to tell
others what they can and cannot look
like you know to tell women what they
can and cannot be
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
a fourth ways competitor number 17 hello
Serena
[Applause]
I don't really feel that I have any
flaws but there must have been something
like a look that they've been going for
that I didn't have today it's just going
back to the drawing board and see what
can I improve how can I get some
feedback from the judges and I'll see
you know what I need to work on I
believe in the power of positive
thoughts I don't really let negative
things affect my life I'll pull me down
so I'm just like okay you know sometimes
you gotta take it out so I've got to
come back next year and I'm gonna take
the title next year
[Music]
you
