Hi Lou
 
You look like you are making great progress.  What leg exercises would you recommend for females who generally struggle with legs?

 
Hi Hazel,
 
Well originally when I started to seek advice about my training and I went to see Kim in 2007 I was most concerned about my quads/glutes. I have been so lucky to learn so much more about leg training from Kimberley. She has the best legs in the business!
 
I have problems with arthritis in both my knees... so building mass to my legs was an issue!
 
I have now learnt to squat really well, my legs have developed a lot from this.
I also enjoy the Ronnie Coleman parking lot lunges.
I have also realised that heavier isn't necessarily better when it comes to female leg training. I tend to train legs light and the emphasis is on reps!
 
I also train quads and hams seperately.

Best of luck. You have cracking aesthetics, a really good balance and flow to your physique. Be good to see the competative transformation

Lol my diet is pretty boring... chicken and rice, chicken and rice..... very basic. I don't adopt a low carb diet though - it makes me feel rough and I can't train properly lol! I'm having around 150g of carbs a day right now, I will drop this as my diet goes on.
 
I train shoulders once a fortnight because they are hugeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

My shoulders have always been quite big to be honest.. even when I was at school lol.
But I guess back when I started weight training I did a lot of heavy pressing exercises, and I used to be able to lateral raise really heavy! I don't do that anymore tho x
 
So now I just do a few exercises for shoulders.. and that's enough for me.

Looking forward to keeping up with this one.

I think you've made a few people jealous when you say you don't out fat on easily between shows. Have you always been like that?

Hey Lou,

 What sort of rep range do you use for your leg work-outs??

Well yeah - its kinda the way I am lol.
 
I did try and get my weight up in the off season this year to try and put some mass on my quads. I made 11 stone for the first time in my life, but I just couldn't hold it at all. I was eating a lot of food, but I couldn't keep up with it. As soon as I went on holiday and came back home I had instantly gone back down to 10.6.
 
I basically eat bodybuilding food all year round - just in larger quantities when i'm not competing.
Boring I know lol! :-)

Hey Lou,

Well i've worked out that heavy/low reps etc.. doesn't really work for my legs.
Kim got me into high rep training for my lower body.
 
At the moment it's around 4 X 15 - i'm not going any high reps than this just yet..
But I will do as the competition grows closer.
 
Have you ever had a leg work out with Kim Micky? It's just horrendous LOL! The intensity of the work out is just unreal.

I'm normally 10 and a half carly... thats my weight all the time.. But i've lost a few pounds, and started dieting for the worlds now. But yep, I have checked my weight over and over because I was a bit suprised.. I kinda thought I would be a bit heavier.

Actually whilst in fitness first the other day their scales weighed me in at 10 stone!! LOL. I was freaking out. But no, i'm 10.4 lol.

Fivos - yeah Mark mentioned that, nice one :) Not sure how you'd want me looking for the pictures... harder/softer?
