Year 12 Student, Community Leader, Track Superstar... Meet Chelsea!

North West Coaster Chelsea Scolyer is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to the track.

Holding the state record from the under 13's to the opens, she is the fastest woman in Tasmania over 100 metres.

A keen interest in all types of activity since she was younger, her dedication to training is paying off.

We think she's one to keep an eye on in the years to come!

Bulk Nutrients Ambassador Chelsea Scolyer

Hi, I'm Chelsea Scolyer!

I was born a racer on the North West Coast of Tasmania and have been doing athletics all my life.

Alongside athletics, I grew up playing multiple sports including football, soccer, gymnastics, netball and dance - but I knew that my true passion was being a sprinter over the 100m and 200m distances.

Now at 18 years old I am the fastest ever woman in Tasmania over 100 metres, holding the state record from the under 13s through to open.

I have been an active leader in my community, coaching and mentoring young children at Little Athletics, as well as being the captain of two state teams.

As a full-time Year 12 student and a Tasmanian Institute of Sport athlete I compete all over Australia, holding 7 junior national titles and 3 Australian records. I have just come back from New Zealand where I was a part of the U20 Australian 4x100m relay team, breaking the national record.

I began my journey with Bulk Nutrients in late 2023 and can confidently say that it has assisted in pre, during, and post training and competition.

I have many favourite products, but my essentials are the Pre Workout 101, Creatine Monohydrate and Protein Water!

Recommendations

Here are some of the Bulk Products I love...

Pre Workout 101

Why I love it: I use the Pre Workout 101 mainly before competition. It not only makes me feel energised, but it assists in helping my muscles stimulate and be ready to go.

How I use it: I take my Pre Workout 101 with the Creatine Monohydrate, mixed in through 300mls of water.

Protein Water

Why I love it: This is great for after my trainings and competition, assisting in my recovery. The protein water is easier to consume after exercise, as it is not milky and thick.

How I use it: I have my protein water in a glass, roughly with 300mls of water at dinner time.

Creatine Monohydrate

Why I love it: As a power-based athlete, my main source of energy is through the ATP-PC system. Creatine Monohydrate essentially aids in my energy throughout competition and training.

How I use it: I mix my Creatine Monohydrate with the Pre Workout 101 in 300mls of water.

Bulk Nutrients' HASTA Certified Whey Protein Isolate is our same great tasting WPI and comes with the added security of each batch being tested

HASTA Whey Protein Isolate

Why I love it: The Whey Protein Isolate is also something that assists in my recovery.

How I use it: I love adding the whey protein isolate to my recovery snacks like protein balls.

Electrolyte Plus

Why I love it: The electrolytes predominately assist during training or competition, ensuring that I am hydrated throughout and maintaining my energy sources.

How I use it: I take my tropical electrolytes with 600mls of water

My Approach to Nutrition

As an athlete, my approach to eating consists of fuel (carbs) and recovery (protein). Typically, I will meal prep on a Sunday for my lunch, and since I still live at home with my parents, my Mum cooks dinner.

My Day on a Plate

Breakfast: Two weetbix, two pieces of toast, protein yogurt, apple juice, coffee - with HCP Cold Brew.

Morning snack: Protein balls (WPI), fruit bun, orange/apple.

Lunch: Chicken pesto with extra cheese.

Afternoon snack: Weetbix, orange/apple, LCM bar, Pre Workout 101 + Creatine Monohydrate if training.

Dinner: Usually a traditional meat and three vegetables. Always half a plate of carbs, and Protein Water.

Any foods you avoid? As an athlete, I tend to eat anything, anywhere at anytime.

Foods I crave...As weird as it is, I crave weetbix. It is my favourite pre training snack and always gives me the energy needed.

Go to cheat meal: Fast food burgers, always tasty when extremely hungry or after a big competition.
