With summer on its way, former Women’s Physique Olympia Dana Linn Bailey is determined to transform her physique. In a recent YouTube video, Bailey revealed a progress video before embarking on her ‘4.0 summer shredded’ fitness challenge.
“What’s up guys, you’re probably wondering why I’m in a bathing suit right now. That’s because today I am taking my first progress pictures for my new challenge that’s coming out, shredded summer 4.0. This is the fourth one we’ve done. Very excited,” Dana Linn Bailey shared.
As the first winner of a Women’s Physique contest in 2011 at the Jr. USA and the inaugural Women’s Physique Olympia champion in 2013, Dana Bailey has made her mark in the IFBB Pro League with exceptional balance and striated shoulders. Since retiring from competitive bodybuilding in 2015, she’s built a notable online presence with her YouTube videos and social media posts, where she regularly showcases her workouts, nutrition, and lifestyle.
Despite stepping away from the sport competitively, Dana still attacks her workouts with a chip on her shoulder. Whether it’s a grueling back training session or a push day, Linn brings her best day after day. Aside from training, Bailey has been open about some of her health struggles. In a recent Cutler Cast appearance, Bailey detailed battles with a thyroid condition and a Rhabdomyolysis infection.

Bailey said the transformation will be ‘full body’ and encouraged any of her followers to join her on the journey. She plans to award a male and female participant with $10K each.
“It’s a total body transformation. It’s not just a weight loss challenge. We’re going to get leaner. We’re going to have more muscles. And we’re just going to be super confident in your bathing suits. So, it’s summer right now, so if you’re not feeling like your best. You got a vacation coming up to the beach, you got to wear this tiny little bikini or swim shorts and you want to feel more confident come join me summer shredded 4.0,” said Dana Linn Bailey.
“If getting shredded for summer wasn’t enough for you, not motivating enough to get abs and look really good, I’m giving away 10 grand to one guy and one girl. That’s 20 thousand dollars in cash and prizes. Prizes are coming from Trifecta, RedCon1, and you’re getting cash.”
After the posing session, Dana shared one of her daily meals, consisting of bison and Basmati rice.
“Today, first meal of the day, you know, it happens to be in the afternoon, we are doing just lean bison and Basmati rice,” said Dana Linn. “I don’t actually like cooking fish but when I go to a restaurant that’s all I order. When I went to Mexico, that’s all I ordered was fish. We’re landlocked. If I’m in Montana, it will be chicken, beef, fish. If I’m on the coast somewhere, it will go fish, chicken, beef. I know, it changes.”
Dana Bailey isn’t the only Olympia winner amid a physique transformation. Four-time Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler announced he was getting in the best shape possible since 2013. Even though he has no plans of making it to a bodybuilding stage, Cutler is excited about the process. He’s offered consistent workouts, physique updates, and training sessions geared toward his ‘Fit-for-50’ goal.
Dana Linn Bailey is an open book to her fans and followers. In addition to an inside look at her gym life, Bailey has revealed a detailed daily supplement stack, which she uses to maintain her energy levels and wellness.
Always pushing the realms of her physical fitness, Dana Linn Bailey is a bodybuilding trailblazer who uses her platform to promote positivity. She encourages anyone to tag along with her while she once again transforms her physique.
