E. 167 Tianna Weymouth on Olympia Prep, Coach Changes, PEDs & Recovery

In this episode, I sit down with IFBB Bikini Pro Tianna Weymouth to discuss her first Olympia experience, competing at the Arnold, navigating mental and physical health challenges, switching coaches, and the lessons she's learned as a professional athlete.We dive into the realities of bodybuilding beyond social media, including stage conditioning, blood pressure concerns, electrolyte balance, systemic fatigue, recovery, training execution, coach-athlete relationships, PED use, and the importance of advocating for yourself throughout your fitness journey.Tianna shares her experience dealing with anxiety, depersonalization, burnout, and learning how to prioritize health without losing sight of long-term goals. We also discuss individualized coaching, boundaries, training intensity, recovery, and why sustainable success in bodybuilding requires much more than simply working harder.Whether you're a competitor, coach, or someone pursuing physique goals, this conversation offers valuable insights into performance, health, mindset, and long-term development.Timestamps:- [00:00 - 04:24] - Tianna's First Olympia Experience & Expectations- [04:24 - 11:27] - Olympia Feedback, Conditioning & Bringing the Right Package- [11:27 - 16:30] - Arnold Invitations, Competitive Mindset & Long-Term Development- [16:30 - 22:58] - Switching Coaches, Boundaries & Prioritizing Health- [22:58 - 34:18] - Anxiety, Blood Pressure, Recovery & Rebuilding From Burnout- [34:18 - 39:16] - Outgrowing Coaches, Communication & Athlete Buy-In- [39:16 - 44:16] - Sodium, Potassium, Hydration & Performance Variables- [44:16 - 51:43] - Systemic Fatigue, Cardio Mistakes & Recovery Management- [51:43 - 58:34] - Training Intensity, Execution & Individualized Programming- [58:34 - 01:01:41] - Rest Days, Recovery & Learning to Slow Down- [01:01:41 - 01:08:27] - Self-Awareness, Personal Growth & Showing Up For Yourself- [01:08:27 - 01:22:58] - Coaching Red Flags, Boundaries & Personalized Coaching- [01:22:58 - 01:29:11] - PEDs, Expectations & The Reality of Muscle Growth- [01:29:11 - 01:39:38] - Why You Can't Build Significant Muscle During Prep & Long-Term Physique DevelopmentLinks & Resources:Follow Tianna on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tianna.weymouth_ifbbpro/Work With Tianna: https://pilyne.setmore.com/Purchase The Complete Fat Loss Guide: https://coryfit.com/product/the-complete-fat-loss-guide/Purchase The Glute Building Blueprint: https://coryfit.com/product/the-complete-glute-building-program/https://coryfit.com/⁠Coaching: Let's Chat⁠https://calendly.com/coryfit-coaching/15min⁠Consults: Book a Call⁠https://calendly.com/coryfit-coaching/one-time-consultationFor more content, follow along:⁠Instagram⁠: https://www.instagram.com/cory_fit/⁠Patreon⁠: https://patreon.com/CoryFit?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink
