COMING NATURALLY I am from Brazil, right beside Rio De Janeiro – I came here a year and a half ago. I have been training for 17 years and have been a personal trainer and now a nutritionist for eight years. When I did my first contest in October 2012, I decided four days before, so I was ready. Everything came naturally for me, this is my life. I have been training every day and eating clean every day for the last 17 years, so I really did nothing different for that first contest.
HOME WITH PHYSIQUE I competed in figure twice before, but I feel so much better in physique. Physique is my calss, because I can show my muscle. In figure you could see my body was so much more lean and had more definition than the other girls. In physique, I feel like I’m home because I can show muscle and I can dance!
BOXING BACKGROUND I boxed for nine years and did jiu-jitsu too. I’m pretty good in fights, I always used to train with men when I fought in Brazil. I always won against the women and won three or four against the men! I think it helped me a lot because always I love to learn, and my conditioning and cardio are very good. My husband always says ‘Bianca, I never see you tired in the gym!’
TRAINING AND NUTRITION “When you start training you always want better results, I am always trying to do better. I train for 17 years, so I always have to change my exercises – because if I don’t my body doesn’t answer. I try to train heavy because I do want more muscle for physique, but I still need to stay lean too. Eighty-percent is what you eat, so my food is perfect.”
ROLE MODEL I love Dana Linn Bailey. She’s my goal. She is my focus I watch her videos every day – she’s beautiful, she’s sexy, she’s strong. It is very important to me to share that stage with her one day.
