FLEXONLINE.COM.AU | FLEX 103“I’ve become very creative
on the lying hamstring curl
machine. I focus on the
stretch at the very bottom as
much as I do the contraction
at the top. And I do all ranges
of motion. I could do a
conventional full range and
do a slight squeeze at the top
— I may do three to four sets
there. And then I’ll focus on
the bottom part of the range
of motion and do flutter
kicks. So when the legs are
fully extended at the bottom,
I’ll move the weight only a
couple of inches, but I’ll move
it up and down in that tiny
range of motion very fast.
I’m not even counting reps
at this point. It’s more just
to finish things off, and
I’m going for feel instead
of reps.”“It really is a very unique
situation I’m in. I use my
off-season diet to not get
too heavy and feed my body
the calories it needs to
make improvements but
not too much. For example,
I give my body a lot of
calories on chest day to
build muscle there and make
improvements, since chest
is a weak area for me. But
I also give my body a lot of
calories on leg days because
I know I’m going to burn
those calories. To some
people that doesn’t make
sense, but I’ve been fighting
to make this 212 class for
the past four years and this
approach has worked for me.”GET
