Three weeks out and still working on that glute-hamstring tie in and building rounder glutes! The work is almost done, I was counting down the number of workouts I have left until the Olympia today and I can’t believe it is almost here.
I hope you all have enjoyed the 30 Days, 30 Workouts. We will be posting a few tips regarding “Where To Go From Here” once the 31 days are up. Keep training hard!

Log in to replyThanks so much for this!! Love the variety of workouts. Do you still have a cheat meal this close to showtime? Can you give an example of a low carb/high carb day?
Log in to replyThe last cheat meal was a while ago but I do have higher carb days and refeeds. You can see an example of my diet here:

My diet changes almost daily.
Log in to replyHi Nicole,
During alternate jump lunges your right foot is pronate (bending inward) after leaving the platform.
Watch it in slow motion. Maybe this is why your shin has been hurting?
You demonstrate excellent form, thank you for teaching us the right way of performing these exercises.
Log in to replyYou sure do have stamina!
Thanks for pointing that out- possible that could be contributing to it… there are so many factors. The good news is, it is getting better 🙂
Log in to replyThank you…I really like this video format …where each exercise set is broken down in there own video . Its very easy to navigate through.
Log in to replyThank you Denise! We have many ‘journal’ formats of workouts on the website. All of the ones that say ‘workout journal’ are formatted this way 🙂
Log in to replyThank you for posting and explaining we know how busy you are right now! Stay focused, stay strong keep smiling!
The warm up is super helpful and practical in a crowded gym/when you don’t have as much time as you’d like to warm up! The flute cable kick back…what’s the best alternative if need be!
Log in to replyYou can do butt blasters instead 🙂 Thanks Lisa!
Log in to replyNicole, have you ever heard of the DARD shin splint exerciser? It’s fantastic for strengthening and stretching your shins. If you sit on the bench cross-ways and hang your butt off, you can keep your legs somewhat straight and really get isolation of the tibialis anterior. https://www.spri.com/product/dynamic-axial-resistance-device-combo/07-70169.html
You look amazing!
Log in to replyGave the single leg D/B stiff leg deadlift a go last night with donkey squat super sets. After falling sideways a couple of times I succumbed to getting my phone from my locker to double check the video only to realise I had the D/B in the wrong hand 🙁 Numpty! Once I finally got it right and after 4 super sets, man my bootie is burning today. It’s actually better if you go with a heavier D/B otherwise there’s not much resistance when you lower to the ground. Awesome exercise! Thanks Nicole! Let’s see if I start a trend in my gym 🙂
Log in to replyThanks for splitting the videos by exercise, this looks like a good one!
