Way too much smith machine work outs for me. I can't believe how big she is, I would honestly say if she was same height as me she would have the same build as me, guess I need to train harder . I am really impressed though, you don't usually see girls pushing them selves to failure in the gym. For those that decide they want to go to a gym after watching this, go to a school gym you are far more likely to see fit girls there, at least in my experience, then you are in a public gym.

At the Animal Cage she benched her body weight (130lbs at the time) 26 times in a row. Insane!

I would consider my self a bit picky when it comes to form and the fact that she keeps bringing her butt off the bench is definitely poor form, at least in power lifting, still very impressive though.

Yeah too much strain on the shoulder that is for sure!
As for those guys, Squat was impressive! But I am never impressed when I watch guys in tight suites cause that helps a ton with the lift, dude has damn good grip though!

Is that what you do Michael, CrossFit? I have heard a lot of good things, it would probably be better for me cause my endurance when it comes to lifting is not great. Also heard that it has a lot of compound lifts which are great!

Yeah I'm off and on. Gotta get back on the bandwagon. I'm only 5'9" and I'm 200lbs. All legs and stomach. It's not nice having a belly either, because I look normal except my beer belly, so it's rough buying clothes and having something to wear at the office and going out. I was going strong in August, even quit smoking, but life got the best of me. My gf's sister Crossfits, and her husband has a gym in San Diego. She got us into it. You should see the workouts or WODs (workout of the day) she does, holy smokes. Outclasses me in weights when it comes to certain motions. Lots of squats and core involved. WODs last anywhere from 10mins to over an hour. So some days are great nice short ones, others are grueling. You should definitely look into Crossfit. My gf discovered a good Crossfit gym in Thornhill area. It's purely about functional power, not body shaping/building. If you're interested you should definitely check out some videos on Youtube and look up "Crossfit Sun", lots of videos and that's the gym that my gf's sister's husband runs. The little Korean girl going buck is she.

Guillaume> Definitely look into Crossfit in your case for sports.
There is mobility training that goes hand in hand with Crossfit, so your range of motion will increase as well.
Straight weight training is great for guys who want to get huge and lift heavy, but Crossfitters lift heavy as well, but look lean, and stay nimble.

You could also look into power lifting. I spend the last two and a half year and never really put on any huge muscle only in the past 6 months have i started going for failing at 6-8 reps and I have put on more muscle then I have in the past few years.
Crossfit would probably be better for training the endurance of your muscles and such.
Also as long as you do your stretches and keep up with your flexibility stuff you should still be able to maintain it even if you get big.
Micheal, I am 5'9" as well and I weigh in just under 160ish, I am lucky I did not listen to the guys in the gym or I probably would be where you are, a lot of them always told me to put on 40 pounds and then you can start lifting big, I was always told that mass lifted mass which is why I started training the way I am, just want to make sure I keep it lean.

Good call, you definitely need to keep up with the endurance stuff. When I was doing my power lifting my endurance was terrible doing more than three reps would just destroy me. Now that I started doing high reps I find I don't tire as fast as I used to, much nicer now!

You can come watch me if you like Sven I don't have mirrors and stuff in my home gym so haveing someone watch me, even when I did have mirrors at the gym, was always greatly appreciated because I could get comments on form and how to improve and such.

I'm actually on a diet right now used to weight 55-60kg back in my martial arts days (I'm 5.7). University saw to that not staying there. I'm actually taking a shake in the morning that's working right now (lost 4kgs in the span of 5 days). Never tried weight training though, I'm more cardio/sports. Does weight training only bring in muscle mass or can it be used to keep muscles lean? I like my degree of motion, big muscles screw that up. Im about 5' 10" and use to weight 195 in April 2010, went to 170 by June 2010 with weight training, a STRICT diet and cardio 40 min a day. Kept that same weight for about a year and went from 170 to 150 this summer with a proper diet and ONLY weight training, I did absolutely NO Cardio! Its all about proper eating and you can lose weight sitting on the couch all day. With weight training you burn even more calories and gain muscle mass.

Bryan> She totally broke form, probably ended up hurting herself too. That's how she benches heavy weight all the time. If you watch any of her videos, that's how she benches. She's also not like a guy, women bench heavy weight slightly different.

She's not in for competitions for anything more than her physique. Whatever she needs to do to get the weight up and get the results, I say go for it. She definitely didn't get as big as she is from bad form! haha

It is really difficult to watch her do incline. Why are you going to do incline bench if you are going to arch huge with your ass off the bench, she might as well just do a flat bench.
Fair enough I guess it doesn't matter then, I guess for me being a stickler it is a little frustrating to watch.

I think it might have something to do with her physique. Her waist and everything is tiny. A lot of other women body builders are huge and look like men, she still has a womans physique.
Also when doing bench you are supposed to drive with your legs while pushing up, any time you push down on your feet, your back is doing to arch a little. Most guys bench pressing are so thick that you don't notice, like I said, she's like 3 inches thick since she's so tight.

Also, taken from bodybuilding.com
"A barbell bench press starting position has the weight lifter lying on a bench, with the shoulder blades pinched together to create a stable, solid base for the press, also used in powerlifting to reduce the range of motion. The lifter keeps his feet flat on the ground or at end of the bench, with the buttocks always in contact with the bench. Powerlifters will arch their back to provide greater stability and to reduce their range of motion allowing them to move more weight. Different grip widths can be used to increase or decrease the range of motion and place more or less emphasis on particular muscles. The movement begins by lifting the bar off the uprights and lowering it until the bar is motionless on the chest before being pressed under control to the start position. After the desired number of repetitions, the weight lifter returns the bar to the uprights. Because the load on the bar above the chest can be heavy, a spotting partner increases the safety of the movement.[1]"

I dunno, she's the one that benches 250lbs and is in national competitions, magazines, is asked to do guest appearances at competitions etc, and we are the ones watching her vids. She must be doing something right! I think she's hot and she can bench more than me, wtf!

My arch used to be like the first guy that went, lately I have not had such an aggressive arch but I usually try to mix it up every month or so.

Just reading about an interview she did and she is definitely killing it! I am always impressed when people get to where she does beside doing her normal day job. And the whole 8-day cycle is pretty crazy, I have done 5 days and that was enough for me I don't think I have the orginization to do an 8 day plan, maybe going back to a five day for me would be good, currently on a three day. What are your guys work outs like. I do Mon- Bench day (tricept and chest), Wed- Deadlift (back and bicepts), Fri- Squat (legs) Interview: http://www.cutandjacked.com/Interview/with-Dana-Linn-Bailey

I do: Day 1 - Bicep and Back Day 2 - Tricep and Shoulders Day 3 - Chest Day 4 - Legs
If I do a 5 day, my 5th day is usually a heavy weight, but only 2 sets of everything except legs, I don't do legs that day.

gotta like how she says "muscles do not need supplements, they need food and weight to grow"

My day yesterday got kinda messed up, didn't get to the gym late, so this will be a 5 day cycle as I only got in my biceps yesterday, so today will be only back.
45 minute bicep work out destroyed them though. Gotta love when you try and lift a water bottle to your mouth and you are shaking trying to do that!

Yeah that is always killer, I did legs today and standing between sets was extremely difficult, going downstairs after a legs day is always fun too

^^ I just finished legs right now, walking up the stairs was definitely a fun adventure afterwards lol (1.5 hours on legs, not squats though, I use my old training). I miss being my old Ninja self! I think getting back to perfect shape might take me a while . Deep, what kind of STRICT diet (I'm on a shake in the morn, some other type of shake at noon with vegetables/fruit and a very light diner)? As for the Cardio, I need it, not for weight loss though, need to be able to fight for 5-6 min rounds x 12 times or more (my categories are usually big) full out for competition so trying to get it back sooner rather than later. That and the training at my club is hardcore, so, I need to be in top normal shape to be mediocre in the training.

Yeah for sure, you basically want to eat every 3 hours, Eat smaller meals, with high protein content. You want to keep your metabolism going. You don't need any supplements besides protein shake. This was my schedule when I was eating strict. 8Am Breakfast - 3 white + 1 whole eggs, 1 wholegrain toast, protein shake. You want to make sure you get the shake 30 min withing waking up, it will get your metabolism jumping. 11-12am Lunch - Grilled chicken breast with brown rice and veggies 3PM Snack - Hand full of almonds with fat free yogurt 6-7pm Dinner - Grilled chicken breast with brown rice and veggies 8PM - Gym 930pm Post workout meal(within 30 min after working out) Protein Shake and banana. This for 2 and a half months straight with weight training and 40 minutes of cardio got me down to about 165-170. You can replace each meals with anything that is healthy, low sodium content. If you want to maintain or gain weight you add more food. I use to make wraps, pasta, sandwiches ect. and just got into a healthy living lifestyle after I lost that weight. A year later I just wanted to get ride of all my fat and I stuck to a clean but not as strict diet, no cardio at all and just weight training and dropped another 15. Basically you can workout till your face turns blue, you're results will not be satisfying unless your eating right.
