KIKI MCCLELLAN

Today, I speak with IFBB Pro Kiki McClellan, coach for Team Boss
Bodies. She earned her Pro card at NPC Nationals in 2020 after a
long pandemic prep! Prior to bodybuilding, she was a competitive
cheerleader and dancer. She credits this past experience with her
comfort on stage. Kiki talks about how she utilizes her education
in her coaching career to help women bring their best to the
stage. Her first experience with a coach really opened her eyes
to what NOT to do during a prep. Through her 2020 prep, Kiki
found the confidence and belief in herself that she could turn
Pro. She was reluctant to broadcast her goals because she was
afraid of what people would think if she failed. She believes the
isolation she experienced in 2020 allowed her to put her head
down and grind to reach her goal. Once she decided to make the
jump to the National circuit, Kiki didn’t want to leave anything
to chance or have any thoughts of “what if” during her prep. Kiki
tells us how her goals have changed over time and how her path
has taken her to places she never expected!


 


Kiki has so much knowledge to share! Her insights into meal plans
and macros are epic! You don’t want to miss this conversation!
