from Jacked Girl University · host Aimee Bartolo

Today, my good friend Mel Helmy joins me on the show. Mel provides us with a very inspiring outlook on hitting training and physique goals. We talk about Mel’s initial reasons for getting into the gym and building strength after a diagnosis related to her spine and how this led to becoming a competitive and winning powerlifter. We also talk about her 35kg weight loss journey and her new pursuit for 2022 which will be a figure prep.
