“Animals are like children to me. They are loyal even in their most difficult times, and they keep showing love to you no matter what. Loyalty and respect are feelings that can’t be bought or found somewhere.

I love my dogs so much that if one of them would get sick, I would feel as if I was the one who became sick. They are our eternal friends who deserve our attention and love. Anyone who has a dog as a friend, has everything.”

Training

Sticking to the Schedule

Carol’s favorite muscle groups are her legs and glutes. During her leg workouts, Carol is extremely focused. Her motto is to make the most out of each rep, instead of simply counting repetitions.

No matter if Carol has a bad day or a good day, she’ll follow the planned training routine. Even though this is extremely hard, it enables Carol to stay on top of her progress with her physique.

Carol Dias’ Legs and Back Workout Routine

Instead of beginning the workout with heavy compound lifts, Carol opts for light isolation exercises. She believes this gets her muscles and joints ready for heavier movements later in the workout.

Overall, Carol’s leg and back workout is long and exhaustive. It features exercises which target her muscles from multiple angles, enabling her to get the most out of her training session. This is how it looks;

• Warm-up (either cardio or light-weight leg extensions and lying leg curls)
• Hamstring Curls, 3 sets of 12 reps
• Leg Extensions, 3 sets of 12 reps
• Heavy Leg Press, 3 sets of 8-10 reps
• Smith Machine Squats, 3 sets of 8-10 reps
• Smith Machine Deadlifts, 3 sets of 8-10 reps
• Standing Single-Leg Press Machine, 3 sets of 8-12 reps
• Pull-ups, 3 sets of 8-10 reps
• Lat Pulldowns, 3 sets of 12 reps
• Lat Row Machine, 3 sets of 12 reps
• Bent-over Dumbbell Rows, 3 sets of 12 reps

Leg Press For Muscle Hypertrophy

Alongside squats and deadlifts, leg press is Carol’s favorite movement for targeting her legs and glutes. However, in order to reap the full benefits of the exercise, Carol ensures she has the perfect form while doing it.

Before beginning the exercise, Carol makes sure her form is perfect. First, she takes a look at her leg placement, ensuring they are just about shoulder width apart. Depending on whether she wants to emphasize her glutes, quads, or hamstrings, Carol may adjust her leg placement to be wider or narrower.

Starting the exercise, Carol lowers the safety bars and presses the platform up until she almost fully extends her legs – not locking her knees completely. After this, Carol takes a slow and deep breath and lowers the platform down until she forms a 90-degree angle with her lower and upper legs.

She then pushes the platform up using her heels and exhales on the way up, before repeating the movement for reps – this is how she’s been able to create her strong, and curvy legs.

Nutrition

Carol eats several smaller meals per day. This speeds up her metabolism, making it more efficient at burning calories.

With each main meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner), Carol will have some sort of fiber-rich food. Such as beans, salads, or dark leafy green vegetables. This helps her body break down the nutrients more efficiently, making it easier for her digestive system.

Carol’s meal plan;

• Breakfast – 100 grams of sweet potatoes, 6 egg whites, blueberries (optional, dessert)
• Morning Snack (Post-workout) – Protein supplement
• Lunch – Green vegetable salad, 50 grams of sweet potatoes, 150 grams of chicken breast or grilled fish
• Afternoon Snack (1st option) – handful of cashews or other nuts, protein supplement
• Afternoon Snack (2nd option) – Omelet with lean turkey breasts.
• Dinner (1st option) – Green vegetable salad, 50 grams of sweet potatoes, 150 grams of chicken breast
• Dinner (2nd option) – Greek Yogurt, blueberries, protein supplement
