Tanji Johnson on her Fitness International Contest Prep

MyBodyBeats trainer, Tanji Johnson, also known as 'Stealth' from American Gladiators, is more pumped than ever about this weekend's Fitness International competition. When I caught up with Tanji a couple of weeks ago, her enthusiasm and confidence was through the roof. With Kim Klein's retirement and Adela Garcia competing in Figure, she says she feels she has a really strong chance to place high at this year's Fitness International.

Her confidence is justified. In addition to her high caliber fitness routines that we can always count on Tanji to bring, she's going to be presenting a smaller, more conditioned physique in order to stand next to and be more comparable to her fellow competitors with smaller physiques like Jen Hendershott's.


Check out this video interview by BodyBuilding.com as Tanji talks about her training, nutrition, and supplements.

Highlights from the video:

Training - Tanji has been building muscles for years, so now she doesn't need to build muscle, she focuses instead on maintaining her hardness and leanness. She trains more like an athlete these days with explosiveness, muscular endurance, and functionality for her routine.

Nutrition - All diets work differently for every body type. With support from her nutritionist, Pete Grubbs of Construction Zone until she reaches 4 weeks out, when her calories drop.

Supplementation - What does Tanji take post workout? A Gaspari MyoFusion protien shake. What does Tanji take for extra energy? Gaspari Mitotropin.
