He recently competed at this year’s Mr. America in Atlantic City, hoping to become the first out gay Black man to win the title.

While only the top three finishers are confirmed at the show, Collins believes he finished in the top five — providing him with plenty of momentum entering his next competition in November.Queerty recently caught up with Collins to talk about his love for bodybuilding, whether he ever rewards himself with a cheat day and his favorite parts of a well-built man. Here’s what he had to say…A post shared by Jamal Collins WNBF Pro (@skinnyboyvegangains)A post shared by Jamal Collins WNBF Pro (@skinnyboyvegangains)A post shared by Jamal Collins WNBF Pro (@skinnyboyvegangains)QUEERTY: What do you enjoy the most about bodybuilding?JAMAL COLLINS: There’s something about the stage that freaks me out, but also excites me. I was a performer in my former life.

I used to sing with a jazz chorus, and then I’ve done some things outside of that as well, performing through college. I didn’t have a lot of that in my later life, and this was something that allowed me to perform. You do a routine, it’s easily choreographed in some sort of way.

It gave me that, and married that with the physical fitness part of it, which I really enjoy.What’s your workout routine?Over the last five years, I’ve really been able to balance that well. Part of that is making sure I go to bed on time, getting up early enough. I weight train six times a week.

Donald Trump to serve as the director of national intelligence, but she has faced suggestions from those close to her that her political ambitions stem from the Science of Identity Foundation, a group founded in Hawaii that has been labeled by some, including former members, as a cult.Gabbard, a former Democratic member of Congress who ran for president in 2020, grew up attending schools run by followers of the group's leader, Chris Butler, and has described her religious practices as "transcendental Hinduism," a term recommended to her by Butler according to a piece in The New Yorker in 2017.Former members who don't speak so fondly of the Foundation and others close to Gabbard have said the group's influence could be affecting her political motives, according to the report. People have said the Science of Identity Foundation forbids people to speak publicly about the group, requires people to lie face down when Butler enters a room and even sometimes eat his nail clippings or "spoonfuls" of the sand he walked on, The New Yorker reported."I know what an abusive, misogynistic, homophobic, germophobic, narcissistic nightmare Chris Butler is.

Alex Consani on being the first trans model to walk the Victoria’s Secret runway: “It’s really impactful”
A post shared by Alex Consani (@alexconsani)That was a really impactful moment. It’s crazy, though, because I didn’t even realize I was the first [trans model] to walk until after I walked the show. I thought that Valentina [Sampaio, who also walked in the show] had already walked a while ago, so having that in my mind took the pressure away.It’s really impactful to be [among] the first [to walk for Victoria’s Secret] because I’m able to take the hate.
