What if the biggest threat to women’s bodybuilding… isn’t judging, politics, or prize money but entitlement?
In this powerful episode of Cylence Unlocked, Damian Segovia and I sit down with two legends of the sport, 8x Ms. Olympia Lenda Murray and 6x Ms. Olympia Andrea Shaw, for an unfiltered conversation about the business of bodybuilding, promoter realities, athlete accountability, and what it really takes to grow women’s divisions.
We talk prize money, sponsorships, IFBB Pro expectations, NPC support, Olympia history, and why some categories survive while others disappear.
This isn’t gossip. This is leadership.
If you’re a competitor, coach, promoter, or serious bodybuilding fan, this episode will challenge how you think about women’s bodybuilding, professional responsibility, and building a legacy.
The question is simple:
Are you showing up… or just showing ego?
