The days of working out at the gym as a “guy thing” are long over. We know that women can lift iron just as well as men—even better in some cases. This is especially true of the female competitors preparing to step on the Mr. Olympia stage very soon.
Clearly, she leaves nothing on the gym floor and makes sure each rep is calculated and performed with intensity. Her 308,000-plus Instagram followers will verify this, and you can see some of her posts here for yourself.

Another part of her back training is one-arm cable rows. There is constant tension on cable exercises and going one side at a time helps her with balance and symmetry.
If you’re not doing Nordic hamstring curls, you should be. They work very well for the back of the thighs. Pay attention to her execution: No unnecessary momentum, and she isn’t just dropping. She lowers herself under control.
The athletes in her division have to focus on a V-taper, which means well-developed shoulders. She pays attention to detail on everything including the rear delts as demonstrated here.
