Thank you for the complement. I will take any training tips you have for QL and quad development. I am a big fan of Thib for my quad routines (power extensions, bulgarians, hack, single leg squats, lunges). My ab development is rectus and internal oblique strong but I could use more transverse and external oblique to QL development. Soooooo whatcha got?

ok well when it comes to training my clients…my approach is very basic but effective…its hard to judge by your pics…one other thing if i was training you i would base the workout around your body structure and mechanics…thats why your doing all these exercises and they might not be effetive for you…most of my clients for example on legg day do squats(hyperterphy phase) 6 sets to complete muscular failure, exstentions, and legg curls and calf work…and i might throw in some modified lunges…PM me and i’ll give you some more details
What an amazing physique!
Congrats on making it to Powerful Images!
Thanks! I feel totally honored. Long time T-Nation fan.
I would be interested in knowing what your diet is like. I know you said you follow Berardi type principles, but do you carb cycle at all or just low carb until workout time? Your BF has to be one of the lowest I’ve ever seen. You are minus fat and ripped like a movie ticket! Excellent work!!
hope you don’t mide OP but i adjusted the brightness of your pictures slightly
Oops, here is the one i ment to put up
.
Yohmbine cream Through Poliquin’s website.
Ephedra, should stimulate those stubborn areas!
wowee wowee
break me off a piece of that.
You should post a back shot and maybe a quad shot. Obviously your abs are in great shape, but none of the other areas are showing much.
well done for such a toned body!!! Dont take this to offense but i find your abs scary. ive never seen such developed abs on a woman…
When I saw the pictures for the first time my abs freaked me out too!

And me.
It’s hard to tell exactly in the pictures you posted, but your quads don’t seem near as developed as I would expect, given the amount of work you say you’ve put into them. What kind of weights can you handle in back squats?
From what I can see of your upper body it doesn’t get much better. Can’t see much of your lower body though
What’s your number? I can teach you the ins and outs of flash video encoding…especially the INs
I would single hand dumbbell squats. I saw these in an article on here and they destroyed my stomach. Simply take a 30, 50, 120lb (what which allows you to keep really tight form for sets of 4-8) in one hand and do deep squats. To be honest they feel a lot like deads but they were reference as squats. The core stability it takes is huge and attacks the oblique muscles. Going really deep (bottoming out) will help with that quad development too. You might try something like this.
8 X 4
Alternating hands so that left and right make one set. Also, I find that alternating the hand that I start each set with helps to keep my form from breaking down when I get to sets 7 and 8.
You’ve obviously trained enough to know your body well enough to mix up the sets and reps but that’s a pretty good starting point.
For quads I personally like deep front squats (again bottom out - I always feel like these hit where my hams and glutes meet too). In fact, I don’t think anything else compares. For hams run sprints. I’d start in the 40 yd range. Make sure that it’s far enough that you actually get to stride and it’s not all driving acceleration (actually hit your top end acceleration) or you’ll mainly be on the quad. But don’t make it so far that you can’t go 100%. A really good combo is to add the Nebraska drill to suicides.
Mark point “A” at 10 yards and point “B” at 30 or 40.
Accelerate and decelerate as possible at every turn. Reaching down to touch the ground beside the mark will help keep your hips low in the acceleration and deceleration phases.
Start and go to point A then return to the starting point and then go to point B. Walk back and take about 40 seconds and then hit it again.
As they become easier (which doesn’t really happen b/c you learn to run harder and gain the ability to truly sprint throughout) run back to the start or make two stops at point A before you continue to point B. It’s easy to manipulate to increase the difficulty.
Try to get 10 sets in and work your way up to around 20. I run these once a week and wouldn’t recommend anymore than twice weekly.
There’s a good article on here http://www.T-Nation.com/readArticle.do?id=499987 by Waterbury about day after recovery low weight high rep. I recommend that and a recovery drink for the sprints… you’ll need it!
Hope this helps!
Best,
Austin
