Happy Friday!

I always wanted hamstrings. Never really trained them.

I spent years chasing bigger hamstrings, but I trained on my own terms instead of training what I actually needed. Looking back, my injuries forced me to change my approach. Thankfully they did, because today I train smarter, my hamstrings are growing, and I am still learning.

The learning never ends and that is why I always check my form so I don't let my ego get in the way or avoid training like a professional because I refuse to evolve, adapt and come back better!

Discipline & Dedication

Hello Superstars!

Flex Friday isn’t about showing off your physique. It’s about honoring the work behind it.

In this little clip from today, I share why I’ve documented my physique every Friday since 2007, how those photos became a lifelong record of discipline, and why I believe the strongest reason to take a progress photo isn’t for social media—it’s for yourself.

Document today. Appreciate tomorrow. Discipline your dedication.

20 min of Superset training with focus on Glutes, Core & the PELVIC FLOOR!

This workout trains your stamina where you truly need it.

My sister is an opera singer, she needs endurance in her body, especially in maintaining muscle strength in her core muscles.

I use a little 'learn how to bridge' wood half circle to help check if the belly contraction loosens up and to avoid losing the stiffness in the spine.

Then we do banded glute bridges followed by isometric wide stance squats where the focus is on contracting the 'pee muscles'.

The pelvic floor muscles will atrophy with age if you don't train them consciously and having given birth to children increases the need for training these muscles every day.
