“I did a push-pull split with three days on and one day off. This was a popular split in the ’80s. Day one was pushing exercises: chest, shoulders, and triceps. Day two was legs: quads, hamstrings, calves. Day three was pulling movements: back and biceps. Day four was an off-day. And then I started over with Day one again. I trained abs three or fo...
“I used what Jeff [Everson, then her husband and trainer] called guide lifts. These were the lifts in any workout that you could use the most weight, so usually squats for legs, bench presses for chest, and barbell rows for back. We always had goals for the guide lifts, to get more reps or use more weight. When I was really growing in the early to ...
“I was known for having good calves. Partly, that came from my track background. My lower body was always muscular. But I also worked calves hard. I did three exercises for calves. A lot of people just do seated and standing [calf raises], but I also liked the donkey calf machine. I thinkcalvesrespond best to 15-25 reps, higher than other bodyparts...
“Squats were the key to my leg development. Early in my Ms. Olympia years, I did eight sets of squats every leg workout, including three warmup sets. I’d pyramid from 15 reps to 8 reps, increasing the weights over the five working sets. And I was always trying to get a little stronger on this key lower body guide lift.”
“If you’re a competitor, you will probably overtrain. You can tell when you’ve pushed yourself too much. It’s when you become an insomniac or you get no more gains out of your workouts. You’re lethargic, and your body does not respond, no matter how much training you do. Oftentimes blood pressure goes up and your resting heart rate rises, so there ...
“People sometimes think that women bodybuilders use more machines than free weights. They think free weights are for the guys. I never thought that, maybe because my husband then [the late Jeff Everson] was a powerlifter and bodybuilder who loved to lift heavy. I liked to get stronger, too, and in the free-weight basics. I’m an old-school trainer. ...
“When I was training for the Ms. Olympia, my rep range was usually 15 to 8. I say it that way instead of 8 to 15 because I’d pyramidup from my lightest set of an exercise, which was 15 reps, to my heaviest set, which was 8 reps. Sometimes I could only get 6-7 reps on my heaviest set, but I was aiming for a minimum of 8 reps. Calves and abs I traine...
“I did giant sets for abs. I’d pick three exercises. The important thing was to pick three different exercises, one for upper abs, like kneeling rope crunches, one for lower abs, like hanging knees raises, and maybe one for all of the abs—upper, lower, and sides—like a twisting crunch on a decline bench. I did high reps for each, 20-30, and I’d go ...
“Focus your exercises on the places you most want to gain. So, for deltoids, yes, I wanted front and rear delts, but the most important area was the middle delts, because that’s what gives you shoulder width, which was important to my winning look. So, in addition to side laterals, I’d do upright rows, which work the middle delts with the traps, an...
“Because I came from a track background, I like functional training. I’d rather be outside jogging or briskly walking than inside on a treadmill. And I’d rather be bounding up real stairs than on a stepmill. Stairs are cardio, but they also shaped my glutes and legs. I’m not saying there’s a right or wrong way to to do cardio. As long as you’re ele...
