MUTANT’s Road to Glory
With five Olympia appearances (including multiple top 3 finishes) and multiple major titles under her belt, Lola Montez knows exactly what it takes to stand on the sport’s biggest stage. As part of MUTANT’s 2025 Road to Glory YouTube series, she gives an inside look at how she’s dialing in her training and nutrition in the final stretch to the Olympia. Her approach is built around focus, precision, and discipline — the same principles that have carried her to the top of women’s bodybuilding.
Our team at Generation Iron is here to break it down.
Locked In: Training With Purpose
Training is where Lola sets the tone for everything else. Each session is structured to build on the last, targeting areas that need refinement while maintaining the dense muscle and symmetry that make her physique stand out on stage. Most days, she trains alone, splitting her workouts between her garage gym and a commercial facility to balance intensity and focus.
To maximize mental clarity and performance in the gym, Lola incorporates MUTANT MIND FK before training. This nootropic-based pre-workout helps her lock into the task at hand, sustaining focus and drive through every rep and set. For Lola, the mental side of training is just as important as the physical, and having a sharper mind helps her push harder and train more efficiently.
After her workout, recovery becomes the priority. Lola follows her sessions with MUTANT Glutamine and creatine, supporting muscle repair and replenishing what her body needs to recover and grow. This combination helps her maintain strength and fullness as she continues cutting down in preparation for the Olympia stage.
Smart Nutrition: Fueling the Prep
For Lola, nutrition is the backbone of her prep — every meal is chosen with a purpose. Immediately after training, she often heads to the grocery store to restock the staples that fuel her physique.
Vegetables are a constant in her plan, and she gravitates toward versatile, nutrient-dense options like zucchini, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. These provide fiber, vitamins, and steady energy to support her training demands while helping her stay lean and full.
Protein remains the foundation of her diet, and chicken is a daily essential — especially during prep. It’s a lean, high-quality protein source that helps her meet her muscle-building and recovery needs without adding unnecessary calories. Lola relies on chicken every single day to keep her diet consistent and results predictable.
For carbohydrates, she keeps things simple and efficient. Minute rice is one of her go-to options, providing a quick and easily digestible source of fuel for both training and recovery. Sweet potatoes and regular potatoes add variety and sustained energy, while flax seed oil provides healthy fats that support hormone function and overall well-being during a demanding prep.
Structure and Consistency
What sets Lola apart is her ability to stay consistent day after day. Her meals are carefully planned, portioned, and repeated — a strategy that helps her body respond predictably as the show approaches. By sticking to clean, whole-food sources and minimizing variables, she ensures her digestion, energy, and recovery remain optimized throughout prep.
Her grocery staples — chicken, rice, sweet potatoes, zucchini, and healthy fats — may seem simple, but that simplicity is part of the formula. It allows her to control every detail of her nutrition while fueling the intense training sessions that sculpt her stage-ready physique.
Road to Olympia 2025
With the Olympia approaching, Lola Montez is leaving nothing to chance. Her training is focused, her nutrition is calculated, and her supplementation is strategic. Every decision — from the pre-workout that sharpens her focus to the post-training nutrients that speed her recovery — is part of a larger plan designed to bring her best package to the stage.
For Lola, success isn’t built on complicated methods or overnight changes. It’s the result of showing up every day, training with intent, and fueling her body with precision. As she continues her Road to Glory with MUTANT, she’s proving once again that discipline, consistency, and attention to detail are the keys to standing among the best in the world.
