Two for the price of one 😉 haha I was joined by not only NZ's newest IFBB Bikini Pro, Christel De Klerk but also her Coach, Logan Robson - IFBB Bodybuilding Pro, fresh back from the Masters Olympia 😮💨 it was awesome to chat to these two - considering I hadn't had Christel on the pod since she won the Bikini Overall at Moes Muscles 2023, we had a LOT to catch up on! Including, the BIG win, how the offseason went, moving to Aus, Logan's perspective and feedback, thoughts on Olympia and (of course) what's next?!

#68 Dan Sharplin - 2 x NZIFBB TOC Overall Classic Physique Champ 🏆 we chatted about his 2023 and 2024 TOC Overall wins, how the journey began, competing in bodybuilding division?!, proposing post-show this year!, long-term goals with competing and what’s next?! This was such a great chat getting to know Dan and he’s definitely one to watch 😎 It’s always good to have more of our male athletes on the pod - from experience doing this, a lot of them like to lay low or prep in quiet, etc. So I always appreciate when the guys, or ANY of my guests step out of their comfort zone by trying something new so we can be a part of their journey - thank you!
