This is actually one of the workouts from my 2015 pre-contest season, and I can attest for the major kick azz feeling you’ll have after completing […]

  • Legs Plyo + Brute Strength 2

    I absolutely LOVE this workout! Great push for the legs, will have you sweating, and working really hard throughout. This is part 2 of our series. Be sure to start with part 1 before progressing to this workout. We’ll begin the workout with some plyos, which will pre-exhaust the legs a little bit. Afterwards we’ll move into some strength work, and although you may not be able to go super heavy with all of your sets after the plyos, you can focus on the mind/muscle connection instead. If you cannot perform jumps, then simply move to the strength portion of the program.

  • Roxie’s REAL Workout: Olympia Basketball Glutes, Hams and Calves

    Let me start this off with, I LOVE this workout. In fact, not only did I use this one during my prep for the 2014 Olympia, I also used this workout off season to build my glutes, and find myself going back to it during contest prep time to keep the shape, fullness, and strength of my legs as I diet down.

    My advice to you, train hard and REALLY PUSH YOURSELF. Change comes with CHALLENGE, so don’t be afraid to take yourself out of your comfort zone in the gym.

  • Hamstrings and Calves – Strength and Development

    This workout is bringing some front center focus to the hamstrings and calves.

    It’s a relatively quick workout, albeit very effective if you really give it your all. Keep the weights on the heavy side, so when you reach the final rep of the set, you are within 1-2 reps short of failure. If you want to work to failure for the final set, you can, but just do so intelligently.
