12: Bodybuilding Mentality

Kayla Finch is a Nationally-Qualified Women's Physique competitor. Kayla has a background in team sports and other forms of athletics, but didn't begin competing until June of 2024, where I had the priveledge of competing against her.

Kayla was also in the Navy, which provided some extra discipline and a winner's mindset. However, before competing Kayla (and me as well), only had the goal of "getting skinny"; bodybuilding wasn't something she considered until after a few other friends and an ex-boyfriend showed her a little glimpse of the industry.

In this episode, Kayla describes how getting 2nd place at her first show inspired her to work harder, which led to her to take 1st at her next show. Kayla and I also talk about the difference between athletes at the NPC level versus the Pro level.

Kayla and I also talked about some of the similarities in bodybuilders with needing structure and a plan in order to succeed.
