## Resource

On this week’s episode of Bikinis After Babies we (Gillian and guest co-host Julie Taylor) discuss our experiences this summer as we both transitioned from amateur bikini competitors to competing as pros in the IFBB pro league! We compare and contrast each league, share insights on the feedback we have received from judges, discuss our future plans and how we plan to level up in the ranks of this highly competitive division! We also discuss the balance of mom-life as an athlete and the importance of structured training and nutrition during the off-season as well as how we navigate ever-changing body composition as bikini-bodybuilders. We discuss the newly introduced qualification system for the Olympia for 2026 and it’s implications on the sport.
