In this episode of Knowledge and Mileage, Kris talks to first IFBB physique pro in history, Dana Linn Bailey.

Until the Physique category came along there were only two other female categories: Figure and Bodybuilding. When Dana stepped on the competition stage all that changed and she championed a stronger, more muscular physique for females. Now, she owns a gym, a clothing line, and a supplement line.

Tune in to hear Dana’s story and why she thinks no matter your gender or size you should train your face off.
