If one thing is clear, it is that achieving evolution and reaching the best version of yourself requires being constant, disciplined and resilient. Things are not always easy and it is in the greatest challenges where we find the most valuable lessons. Today we speak with Jimmy Atienza , one of our great athletes, passionate, determined and focused on his goals. Aspects that inevitably lead to great success: “I will return presenting my best version of all time.”
Jimmy Atienza shows us with his words that we must face both victory and failure on the path and only then will we achieve the version we want. As he explains, it is necessary to have that “training focused on “failing” over and over again, returning the next day to overcome that failure.” Jimmy is a great inspiration that leaves a valuable mark on our minds, which points out that “we must never give up.”
Getting to know Jimmy Atienza better…
When did you get into bodybuilding?
Well, my curiosity about bodybuilding was sparked after seeing an exhibition by an American bodybuilder named Vince Taylor, although due to life circumstances, I didn't start competing until years later.
What does bodybuilding bring to your life?
Well, I always say that bodybuilding is a wonderful school of life. Values like discipline, perseverance, perseverance, improvement, not giving up… are the standards of this sport and without them it is impossible to make progress. That training focused on “failing” over and over again, returning the next day to overcome that failure… As I say, a wonderful school of life that has made me much stronger, physically, mentally and spiritually.

Jimmy Atienza: “I will return with the decision to present my best version”
Which competition do you remember most fondly?
Open Iron Baby 2008. All the factors were in place to present, perhaps, my best version. An optimal physical, mental and emotional state, surrounded by great companions and champions.
What are your plans for 2021?
Well, there are still “things in the basement”… So this year I will return with the firm decision, and I dare say promise, to present my best version of all time.
Any quirks before going up on stage?
It's not always possible, but I like to enter the stage on the right side, perhaps because my best results have come from entering on that side!
