Bianca Belair reflects on training for a bodybuilding competition while maintaining her WWE schedule.
Bianca Belair is the EST of WWE and she tries to embody the hard work that she speaks about on television in everyday life at every opportunity. Bianca recently revealed on social media that she competed in the 2022 WBFF Pro Atlantic City Pro-Am bodybuilding competition.
On Instagram, the current WWE Raw Women's Champion opened up about what she did to maintain her diet and workout schedule while making history by competing in the Last Woman Standing Match in Saudi Arabia at WWE Crown Jewel and in WarGames at the 2022 WWE Survivor Series event.
Bianca also reflected on how she's matured through the years. Bianca has been open about her battle with a past eating disorder and noted that the process of preparing for this event has made her realize how much she loves who she has become.
For the past 10 weeks I have been training for the @wbffentertainment Pro Atlantic City Pro Am, & this weekend all of that hardwork got to play out on stage!
I’ll be posting more photos throughout the day with results!-Bikini- Made by ME
This journey has taught me so much about myself & how much I have grown and evolved from that little girl in High School and College who was obsessed with being the best but took it too far and over trained constantly. The little girl who had such an unhealthy relationship with food and struggled with eating disorders that even years later as an adult I couldn’t even hear the word “diet” without being triggered.
I wanted to push myself, test myself… see if I could commit without taking it too far, see if I had learned to listen to my body, see if I could diet again and have self control without going off on the deep end. I truly faced my fears with this one. I invested these 10 weeks to relearn myself and it took me on a self discovery journey of self love, commitment, and dedication to myself. It was physically challenging with finding time to train consistently between my WWE schedule of being on the road for live events, TV’s, traveling internationally to Mexico & Saudi Arabia, having historical matches like the Ladder Match, Last Woman Standing Match, & 45 minutes in a War Games match the WEEK BEFORE the competition! It was so hard but I gave it my all… sometimes after my matches and shows I was right there in the gym late at night getting my workouts in and constant travel with meal prep food to stick to my diet… but just as much as it was physically challenging it was more so mental!
I have evolved. I have matured. I do have self control. I have learned the importance of balance and I do listen to my body now! I have completely fallen in love with who I have become and I will be forever grateful for this journey. Thank you @wbffentertainment for welcoming me with open arms into your world and providing a space where I could also show up unapologetically me and a space I could use to navigate this personal journey! I felt right at home! Fitness + FASHION!!!! I’m in --!
And thank you to my amazing coach @n8fitness!!!
