2019 Olympia Bikini Competitors Preview

We’re inching closer to the 2019 Olympia that will host many elite events in Las Vegas which include several different fitness divisions. 

But we’ve arrived at the bikini division and there will be some impressive competitors taking the stage this year. A few of which are title winners…

Angelica Teixeira

Teixeira from Brazil won the contest last year (2018) to repeat her 2017 title win. Teixeira is a 4x Arnold champion winning the 2018 Arnold Classic Australia Bikini as well Arnold Classic Ohio Bikini International and favorite to win again this year. So we can only hope for good things from Angelica Teixeira in 2019.

Ashley Kaltwasser

Also competing is Ashley Kaltwasser from the U.S. who is a 3x Bikini Olympia champion (2013, 2014, 2015) and she will be looking to potentially reclaim her title. Although, she hasn’t cracked the top 3 since 2015. Last year she placed fifth at 2018 Olympia in Bikini division.

💪🏼MUSCLE SORENESS💪🏼 . . Working my body hard constantly means that I often times deal with muscle soreness. I’m sore at least or two days per week in various muscle groups, depending on how I trained throughout the week. When I train extra intensely, try a new workout, or even perform an exercise that I haven’t done in a while, I can assume I’ll be sore the next two days. . . Some things that I do to help with soreness 👉🏼 I make sure to stretch, hydrate, consume extra glutamine/protein (such as @hitechpharma Precision Protein), light cardio or a dynamic warm up helps! Especially before training again. I also get regular massages and take epsom salt baths 🛁If you have access to a hot tub, that could also be beneficial 👌🏼

Instead pursue the things you love doing and then do them – with so much passion – that people can’t take their eyes off of you. “ ~ Maya Angelou 🐎 • @gatsupplements #roadtotheolympia #bethedarkhorse #ifbbbikinipro #competeharder #2019

Janet Layug

Layug was the third-place finisher at the 2018 Olympia. She won the Arnold Classic Australia and Bikini International this year as well. She was runner up in 2018 Arnold Classic Australia Bikini competition. She’s a dominating force right now and from what it looks like she should crack the top 3 again.

This year’s Olympia will be exciting with the amazing field of competitors but there’s only room for one champion in each division.
