Candice Lewis-Carter

Candice Lewis-Carter (born July 27, 1984) is an American fitness model and one of the greatest figure competitors in history. Under her long list of achievements, Candice boasts over 12 Pro victories and is the 4-time Arnold Classic champion.

Career

Her journey into fitness all started at the age of 11.

It was around this point Candice first joined a gym and, unknowingly, set out on her journey to greatness.

Her passion for weightlifting was soon ignited, leading her to jump right into the competitive circuit – where she ultimately won her Pro status in 2011.

Ever since then, Candice hasn’t looked back.

“Weightlifting has changed from being a hobby that happens to help me look good in a bikini to being my passion and the reason I love to inspire others.
All from a platform I truly believe in.”

A Leap Into Bodybuilding World

Alongside weightlifting, Candice also took part in Cheerleading and Cross country during high school.

Her goals became bigger at this point, so she decided to jump into the competitive circuit as a bodybuilder.

It was a fast transition and a big new challenge, but one that Candice quickly took into her stride.

Competing as a figure athlete, Candice has found her calling and is now an athlete through and through.

She boasts over 12 victories as a Pro and silver medal at the 2018 Ms. Figure Olympia. She also won the Arnold Sports Festival Figure International the same year, beating Cydney Gillon in the process.

However, Candice is keen to point out that despite all of her success, she goes through hardships just like everyone else;

“Just know that I am human, and I have challenges and obstacles that I have to overcome on a daily basis – just like you.
The key is to find out what works and utilize that to better yourself so that you can live a long and prosperous life.”`

Training

In some online videos, Candice can be seen training with various exercises.

These include everything from tire box jumps and battle ropes, to sled push and barbell exercises.

Keeping her workouts varied is what allows Candice to work on every aspect of her health and performance – including mobility, conditioning, and physique development.

Candice’s Rules For a Great Workout

Candice’s belief is that Weightlifting isn’t just for athletes. It’s for anyone who wants to improve their bone density, reduce body fat, and boost muscle growth. By training regularly, one would be surprised by how much they can improve their body composition, according to Candice.^[14]
