One of the most memorable people we’ve had the pleasure of interviewing on the show is bodybuilder Chris Tina Bruce, who, after transitioning, went from competing in men’s bodybuilding to women’s bodybuilding.

Since we first interviewed Chris, she moved to San Diego, started a career as a fitness instructor, got on a reality TV show and is now living the nomadic life, but today, we have her in the home studio.

Listen as Chris Tina Bruce talks about her experience competing in both men’s and women’s bodybuilding, her appearance on the National Geographic television series Taboo and what are some of the most overlooked or overrated muscle building trends.

Plus, Chris talks about her intense training regime and for the first time ever, she’s shows us photos that no one has ever seen before that were taken right after her surgery in Thailand.
