MARNIE AL SARAF; Rebuilding Confidence, Get the It Factor, Leave Comparison to the Judges, Your Process

Confessions of a Bikini Pro

Today I speak with IFBB Pro Marnie Al-Saraf, from the UK who recently won her pro card at the Ben Weider in April this year, and then placed 4th in her pro debut at the 1 Bro Pro show the same day! Marnie did her first show back in 2015 so has grown up in the sport. She is a full time posing coach and runs her own business, Rockit Posing. She also has a bachelors degree in Biomedical Science which she got from the University of Liverpool. Marnie shares how her life path switched form pursuing a career in medicine to shifting to the sport of bodybuilding.

This was such an in-depth conversation that I know all competitors will appreciate. You do not want to miss this episode!
