Thanks for listening to another episode of The Women’s Fittest Podcast! This is episode #97


Such a pleasure chatting tons of practical information for health, bodybuilding, and contest prep with Theresa Ivancik! I tried to interview her about her journey- and it’s all here- but it’s speckled between stories of John Meadows and training principles, dieting and other tangents. No complaints from me this was a fun one with a lot of takeaways whether you’re just trying to get healthy, or relating on the competition or pro level! Thank you so much for your time Theresa!


Topics she covered:

  • Learning bodybuilding from workouts and prep from magazines before social media 
  • coaching under John meadows 
  • How to train and the evolution of it 
  • The importance of Coach and client communication 
  • Importance of sleep 
  • Different client goals competing, shy older ppl hire coaches, to learn, to get over poor food relationships 
  • The importance of fitness and nutrition in everyone from kids to older adults 
  • How bodybuilding broke the cycle of building for Theresa 
  • Competing with her 83 year old Grandpa (Pap)
  • Her completion history from amateur to pro card in bodybuilding to coming down to womens physique 
  • Her last night hanging out with John Meadows at her latest show right before his passing 
  • Memories with John Meadows 
  • Switching coaches and who she working with now 
  • Training to bring up body parts 
  • The importance of recovery  techniques and stretching for growth
  • How social media flags and pulls stage shots for nudity and music 
  • Prep plans and what her diet looks like 
  • Her final message to chase your dreams and don’t get comfortable
