Its almost frightening how tough, precise, professional and also reflected you are regarding your mentality. So it's not just on stage. Truly one of the most dominant athletes of the sport ever.
Thank you Cyd🫶🏼 watching you retire has been the most graceful and motivating experience as a female in bodybuilding. I pray you grow in all aspects of life, and enjoy everything God has to offer you❤️ you are truly an inspiration, i hope one day i can thank you on that O stage for giving me the mindset a champion needs.
You explain everything so well. And I like the see that you’re equally data-driven and calculated but also continued to try new things to show up better. That’s surprising to me-I thought you’d be super strictly calculated with everything but shows how much of this sport is a science + an art. You & Damian make a great team. Thanks for sharing!
Heyyyyyyyy❤❤❤❤❤❤ you are amazing. Just started following you.... Yesterday i was watching your videos allllll yesterday...... This is amazing 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. You are really the best
I am 47 yrs old and I got my 1st hormone panel on 10/18/24 and I am excited to get my results to see what had “tanked” as I am currently premenopausal. Do your labs people and do your hormone panel sooner than later, sooner than you think you need it.
Your presentation on stage this year was PHE NOM ENAL. An absolute other level. Can't wait to see everything going forward ❤ appreciate sharing all of this. 🐐
Honestly you looked so charismatic and flawless on stage , Cyd . I literally gasped when I saw your pics . I strive for your level of discipline and also balance ❤❤❤
Yes! You definitely need to write a book! 📕 I too am an empathic claircognizant person and have a higher awareness of how things will result. Coming from a less fortunate background always knew that I would be successful, abundant and have a house on the hill! Guess what? I am successful, abundant and have a house on the hill.😂🎉 your visualization was key!
....I don't think it's fair. ...Cyndey, an *EIGHT TIME OLYMPIA CHAMPION* , I just found about last WEEK, yet Chris Bumstead gets all the notoriety & accolades! ...I just want to give Lady Cyndey props for setting a WORLD RECORD standard, and retiring knowing that she will stand with Chris, as the Last, of the *GREATS* .....
I probably would have if it existed at the time. I spent sooooo many years running them down and trying to keep them as small as possible so it would have definitely been a bit easier for me to manage but eventually I got used to it.
Very mixed feelings, happy for you but so sad you won't be competing....I just see your whole physique and presentation as "The Gold Standard" next Olympia will be very different.
Thank you! And I’ve competed with every style on stage, natural, short, long, curly, color, etc. . I also think it’s important for people, especially black women to do what they want on stage. For me, I don’t want to have anything that I wear everyday on stage. My look is a costume that I’ve developed. With that being said, there are sooooooo many black women competing now with fades, locs, braids, etc. and that is their stage look. I’ve seen so many people turning hair into a “playing the game” thing when there’s actually more to it than that, that most people never consider in when creating a stage look. Do I see where the comment stems from, absolutely! But, for me, it’s a bit different.
I would LOvE more info about who you get blood work thru. I can't wait until that episode! I'm 45 and would love to know what type of blood work do I get?

Thank you!! And yesss! I’m good at tapping into both sides of my brain. It’s definitely been crucial for me
Thank you Cyd for sharing! I’m interested in learning more about the ashwaganda, how much, when and how it impacts your body.
So I do one pill BUT close to show, I’ll throw in a stress relief tea that also has ashwaganda in it
Thank you Cydney for sharing. 🙏🏽

How long were you in prep for?
Technically 12 full weeks this year. 😮💨 BUT diet changes start about 27 to 30 weeks out. Just very small and slow
The GOAT!
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Justtttt in time for cardio
🥰🥰
Hey Cyd got a question, seeing that your legs grow so fast, did you ever considered doing wellness? Think you would’ve been great at it.
I probably would have if it existed at the time. I spent sooooo many years running them down and trying to keep them as small as possible so it would have definitely been a bit easier for me to manage but eventually I got used to it.
@@CYDGillon gotcha, I forgot for a moment that wellness was a new division.
hey babe have a wonderful weekend
You too!!
am sorry you retired i love you very much
😘😘😘🙏🏾
20 minutes on the assault bike 😮😮😮 I did that. Literally 1 time 😅😅
😂😂😂 It’s a staple in my prep so I had to keep it in year round so I wasn’t gassed in prep 😂
You're looking absolutely amazing and so gorgeous, Very beautiful dark skin african woman 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰🔥🔥🔥
Funky people 😂😂😂

Very mixed feelings, happy for you but so sad you won't be competing....I just see your whole physique and presentation as "The Gold Standard" next Olympia will be very different.
Thank you! It will definitely be an adjustment for us all 🥹🙏🏾

I love your natural hair. I wish you would have competed with your natural hair. Why don’t the sista’s compete with their locs?
For years women could not show natural hair on the news, or interviews..
. Now it's acceptable.... Bodybuilding hasn't caught up yet unfortunately....
Thank you! And I’ve competed with every style on stage, natural, short, long, curly, color, etc. . I also think it’s important for people, especially black women to do what they want on stage.
