Season 3 Episode 15: IFBB Pro Mahsa Akbarimehr

Today, I speak with IFBB Pro Mahsa Akbarimehr, who was the first Persian female to become an IFBB Bikini Pro in June of 2018! She started her fitness journey back in her home country of Iran as a multi sport athlete competing in swimming, water Polo and rowing. The youngest of three girls, her mom and dad were a big part in who she today. They were always encouraging my sisters and I to play sports, be active and competitive growing up. She started weight training in college, where she earned a bachelor degree in Computer Science engineering. After college, she won a U.S green card lottery and decided to make the move in 2011 to United States. She joined a Gold’s gym and learned about the NPC/IFBB.   In April 2015, she decided to compete in her first bodybuilding Bikini competition and placed first in her class. When she became U.S citizen, she was finally able to compete in national shows and won her pro card at her second national show.  She now lives in Hawaii and works with clients, sharing her knowledge, experience, physical and mental journeys with them. Mahsa’s story is one we don’t get to hear too often. Be sure to give it a listen!  Topics covered include: -breaking culture barriers -posing with personality -improving the post-show experience -working with judges’ feedback -changes in training style -having an athletic background -bodybuilding in Iran -deciding to leave Iran -working as a trainer -the importance of community   CONNECT WITH CELESTE: Website: http://www.celestial.fit Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/celestial_fit/  All Links: http://www.celestial.fit/links.html  CONNECT WITH MAHSA: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mahsa_ifbbpro/   TIME STAMPS [1:00] introductions [05:42] working with posing clients and posing advice [12:55] things she wishes she new sooner [18:00] working towards the Olympia and judges’ feedback [21:00] competing in s Strength competition [23:00] current training split [26:40] growing up as an athlete [29:30] inspiration to compete [32:30] Bodybuilding in Iran [37:20] deciding to come to America [43:10] studying computer engineering [45:20] a day in the life [49:00] being in a long-term relationship [55:20] advice for competitors    CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE FREE FOOD RELATIONSHIP COACHING SERIES    CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE FREE POST SHOW BLUES COACHING SERIES    LEARN MORE AND APPLY FOR MY 5 WEEK FOOD RELATIONSHIP HEALING &amp; DISCOVERY COACHING PROGRAM   FOR OTHER FREE RESOURCES, LIVE EVENTS, AND WAYS TO WORK WITH CELESTE CLICK HERE

MAHSA AKBARIMEHR

Breaking Barriers: The First Persian Bikini Pro  When you embrace taking bold steps, you definitely are set to breaking certain barriers. And sports—specifically bikini—is a great way to breaking some of those barriers. While barriers could be your culture, religion or even people around you, the gifts and talents inside you, when cultivated, can help you overcome those obstacles.  Mahsa Akbarimehr is an IFBB Pro, who made history as the first-ever Persian woman to earn a Bikini Pro Card. Mahsa grew up as an athlete but she was limited to what she could do by religion as well as policies imposed by the government. It's truly remarkable that she came from a country that did not allow bodybuilding. But not only did she go after her goals, she also exceeded them, paving way for many other Persian women to do exactly the same thing. She is now an inspiration to so many people around the world. Mahsa story is a perfect example that dreams truly do come true.  In today’s episode, I’m excited to talk to Mahsa about her background and her journey to the United States. She will also share how she began competing and how she became the first Persian IFBB pro.    So let's get close and personal!   Takeaways   Cultivate your dreams, they will one day materialize Work on perfecting yourself all the time Be patient with yourself  Don't let negative things said about you bring you down Just pay attention to the positive people in your life Be consistent  Be serious with your goals It's not just about training or being active, strong mindset counts Don't get yourself in the sport unless you are ready    Important Questions [00:05:28] How many years have you been competing? [00:05:55] When did you turn pro and where? [00:08:56] What keeps you motivated? [00:10:35] Why do you compete? [00:14:12] How did you fall into a fitness journey? [00:20:53] How did you as a family deal with the criticism from everyone else? [00:22:33] What would a Persian woman in Iran be doing as an activity because they wouldn't be swimming? [00:25:01] Why did you move to the US?  [00:30:40] What advice would you give to someone in the Middle East wanting to do exactly what you're doing now? [00:32:43] How do you break past these stereotypes of being what you are? [00:47:35] What are your goals in this sport right now? [00:48:46] Are you accepting clients right now? [00:49:17] Could you tell us a little bit about Mahsa Collection? [00:53:15] What is one advice you would give to someone wanting to become a Bikini Professional?    FOLLOW Mahsa Instagram: @mahsa_ifbbpro Website: www.mahsafitness.com   -----&gt;Head HERE for your FREEBIES, coupon codes, and other links! https://vibe-athletics.mykajabi.com/links
