Rebecca Jade wakes up religiously at 4am every day to work on her physique and is now considered a pro athlete in her field but hit a wobble when she was told she is too muscly
A bodybuilding “goddess” says she will never give up her training – despite being told by her own coach that she is too muscly now. Rebecca Jade wakes up religiously at 4am every day to work on her physique and is now considered a pro athlete in her field.
But the 43-year-old hit a snag in the road of her work recently when her coach told her that she has developed too much muscle and conditioning for the category she wants to compete in.
Rebecca, from Llanelli, Wales, was stunned when she finished sixth in her first professional bodybuilding comp, and insists her “alpha female” figure must be to blame.
But while her coach believes she has developed too much muscle and conditioning for Pro Masters Bikini, viewers of one of the biggest international webcam platforms, Babestation, can’t get enough of her “muscle goddess” physique.
The 43-year-old, who used to be more of a “blonde Barbie bombshell”, says her coach believes she has developed too much muscle and conditioning to continue fitting the Pro Masters Bikini criteria.
Rebecca, who has 19,000 followers on Instagram, @rebecca_jade_pcapro, and more than 126,000 followers on X, said: “My coach thinks I’ve now grown too much muscle and conditioning for Pro Masters Bikini.
“I might need to find a different category because my body is not within the guidelines for bikini anymore.
“I’ve become bigger and more muscular. But that isn’t a bad thing – I’d rather lose points for having too much than not enough.
“I don’t want to shrink and undo all my hard work.”
Before taking up bodybuilding, Rebecca did gruelling long-distance races around the world.
She had been due to compete in a major race through the Amazon jungle in 2021, but the event was postponed twice due to Covid travel restrictions.
Rather than stop training in the meantime, Rebecca decided to enter a bodybuilding competition.
She said: “I found a coach and told him I wanted to do one bikini preparation season before going back to running.
“I didn’t build any muscle specifically for it. I came second in my first amateur show and won my second. I also earned a pro card, so I started thinking I was quite good at it.”
Rebecca eventually completed the Amazon run in 2022, winning the first two stages and finishing in the top 10 for both genders, despite suffering several injuries.
She said: “The Amazon is one of the most hostile environments in the world, with things that want to eat you.
“You have to run carrying your backpack. I was in the top 10 alongside the men, but I got very injured. When I came home, I knew I needed a break from running, so I decided to give bodybuilding a proper go.”
Rebecca has been a regular at bikini comps since 2023, winning in her native Wales and at NFM UK, before finishing fourth in Great Britain and at a world event in M laga.
Believing she needed more muscle to win again, Rebecca spent 18 months training hard with a new coach. This summer, she got two class wins, two overall victories and two professional cards.
Rebecca said: “I also went to the British finals for my first pro show and finished sixth. It wasn’t the result I wanted because I hoped to finish in the top three, but I did my very best. The feedback is that I’m now too developed for bikini.”
But Rebecca has no intention of losing the muscle she has spent years building simply to remain within the Pro Masters Bikini criteria, particularly when her physique has proved so popular with viewers on Babestation.
Instead, she is now growing into the Figure division and plans to return to the stage in late 2027.
Currently, Rebecca wakes at 4am every day to train.
She said: “I get up at four, go to the gym and sometimes take selfies there to use on social media.
“Then I come home, eat, get ready and spend the day working. My body has become conditioned to that routine. Even on a rest day, I wake up at four and have to remind myself I don’t need to get up.
“I’ve worked extremely hard to build this body. I’m not going to undo all that work just because the judges don’t like it.”
Rebecca also defended actress Sydney Sweeney following criticism of her recent advert for sports prediction platform Novig.
The campaign, which shows the actress posing scantily clad with sporting equipment, sparked backlash from female athletes who accused it of sexualising women in sport.
But Rebecca believes women should be free to showcase their bodies however they choose.
She said: “I believe women have a right to their own bodies and how they wish to showcase all their hard work. If Sydney wishes to make money from it, then good for her.
“Sex has always sold. Male athletes also do it, so I don’t see what the problem is. We should live and let live.
“For years, women fought for their rights-our bodies, our choices. But now, all of a sudden, it becomes a problem if people don’t agree with their choices or if those choices don’t align with their own.
“Athletic bodies are works of art. They show hard work, discipline, blood, sweat and tears, and years of consistency. They should be shown off and celebrated if the athlete chooses to. Her body, her business.”
For her career, Rebecca works as a model on Babestation, which she first joined as a 23-year-old in 2006.
After nearly 20 years away, she returned to the adult channel in November 2025 and says it pairs extremely well with her bodybuilding hobby.
She said: “Some of my callers just want to flirt and talk, while others want me to be horrible to them.
“They like the dominating, alpha female side of me. They call me a muscle goddess.
“Muscle worship is really popular, particularly when I’m ripped and veiny and my body fat is extremely low. When I’m shredded and at my most muscular, that’s when I’m busiest. My viewers love the muscles, even if they mean I no longer fit the criteria for Pro Masters Bikini.”
