SHENESE CASE

In this week’s episode, host Celeste Rains-Turk has the pleasure
of interviewing IFBB Pro Shenese Case. Known for her killer
glutes and high energy, Shenese has a passion for fitness and
helping women achieve their goals. In addition to being a fitness
coach, this Canadian bombshell is in prep for her Pro debut after
winning her pro card at Vancouver Pro in 2019.


Shenese begins by acknowledging how hard she is working to
achieve a better stage presence for her Pro Debut in September.
She gives credit to Beyonce to obtain a more sassy and energetic
stage presence. Shenese also mentions the importance of hiring a
coach during this time to have “another set of eyes”. Her coach
focuses on every detail from “hair to toenails”. Her coach
emphasizes a good posing routine to show off her physique and how
making posing a daily routine will help the stage become
second-nature.


Celeste and Shenese speak about how she was able to self-coach to
the national level Shenese explains how she was afraid to train
upper body before hiring a coach because of the misconceptions of
being too manly with big biceps and shoulders. She has also
decreased lower body focused strength training such as
quads/calves and increased upper body days to obtain the perfect
balance of muscle. 


For her pro debut, Shenese has now focused on bringing down her
mid-section, facial expressions, and overall conditioning. During
her off season, Shenese did not over indulge and enjoyed
occasional cheat meals to keep her waist line down and
manageable. Celeste and Shenese agree that there is more to life
than “chicken, rice, and broccoli”. Shenese now uses this
approach while she coaches other women about meal timing, macros,
and practicing moderation and portion sizes. 


Celeste and Shenese also discuss the “why” of competing. Shenese
reminisces about the insecure girl she used to be and how fitness
gave her the confidence she always wanted. Shenese encourages
viewers to support other women in the beginning of their fitness
journeys. Celeste and Shenese believe that competing gave them
the inner strength and discipline to have a sense of purpose in
life. 


Finally, Shenese gives credit to her daily rituals. She begins
the day by meditating 10 minutes journaling, lighting a candle,
and setting intentions for the day. Shenese never wants to be
remembered as “the moody person” during prep and wants to
represent sport in the best light. She states, “When you love
what you do, it should be full of happiness.” She has leaned on
her friends and family during stressful times to include losing
her Dad and going through a breakup during competition prep.


Shenese is a wonderful representation for the IFBB and has an
undeniable energy!
