During her recent chat with Sports Illustrated, former two-time Impact Knockouts World Champion Jordynne Grace discussed her dream of competing in the Arnold Classic, ahead of her participation in this weekends Tri-City Classic in Georgia.
Check out the highlights below.
On her bodybuilding goals:
“I want to be the first pro wrestler to ever go to The Arnold [Classic]. That’s my dream.”
On those critical of her appearance:
“I’ve gotten relentless hate about the way I look on social media. I’ve heard I was too big or that I was too short—now I hear that I’m too muscular and I look like a man. I am here to prove that you can do whatever you want to, especially if you use those negative comments as fuel.”
On the world of bodybuilding:
“When I was competing in powerlifting, people would ask if I’d ever try bodybuilding, but I thought there was never a chance this would happen because of all the cardio and dieting. But look at me now—I’m on the stairs every day for 90 minutes, and I’m eating chicken and rice every day. This is exactly what I needed. I can’t wait to compete.”
On the Tri-City Classic:
“I feel like the same person, then I look in the mirror and say, ‘Whoa.’ The weight loss has become noticeable in my face, and I never thought I’d have a six-pack in my life. It’s been insane to see my body change.”
