Arms:
What are your 3 best go to bicep exercises?
Little secret – I hate training arms, its my worst muscle group to train. I just get really bored (laughs).
What are your 3 best go to Tricep exercises?
Do you have any not so common arm exercises that you like to incorporate?
- Commandos. (Start in a plank position; press up on right arms, back down on right arm, press up on left arm, back down on left etc)
- Rope slams.
Many girls try to work their arms in order to get rid of the ‘wobbly’ under arm fat. Does it really work to get rid of specifically the arm fat?
In my opinion, that part is the hardest to get rid of fat on the arms and if you want to incinerate that fat then you need to incorporate HIIT arm exercises such as; boxing (so damn good to tone those arms), commandos, push-ups & rope slams.
What are your top tips when training your biceps?
To focus on the concentric and eccentric phase:
- 1 second concentric phase.
- 1 second pause.
- 3 seconds eccentric phase.
What does a typical Arm workout look like for you?
- DB bicep curls superset BB curls (12 reps x 4 sets) – proper burn out
- Tricep push-downs superset DB tricep kickbacks (12 reps x 4 sets)
- DB alternating hammer curls (24 reps x 4 sets)
- Weighted tricep dips on bench (15 reps x 4 sets)
- Commandos (20 reps) superset rope slams (30 seconds) x 3 sets
Abs:
How often do you train your abs and do you train them on their own day/session?
Train them at least twice a week but aim for Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I train them after my weight training sessions such as legs (which I train 3 x per week).
What are your top tips when training your abs?
Try stick to body weighted exercises such as hanging leg raises if you don’t want to thicken your waist. But, if you are trying to build your abs, weighted exercises are good especially for obliques e.g oblique crunches.
What are some exercises that you use to target each part?
- Upper: Anything crunches.
- Lower: Leg raises/ hanging leg raises.
- Obliques: Ankle taps/ side crunches/ side hanging leg raises.
