Training

Rachelle’s Training Style

Rachelle trains five days per week. She often begins her workouts by warming up with cardio, then, doing several warm-up sets. After this, she proceeds onto the working sets.

During her workouts, which usually last around 90 minutes, Rachelle does around 15-25 sets; depending on the body part she trains that day. If she wants to grow a lacking body part, she’ll do more volume, aka, more sets.

Her ideal rep range also varies greatly. For example, if she wants to maintain her physique, she’ll do a higher number of reps.

If she wants to grow or shape a certain body part, she’ll stay at 8-10 rep range. According to Rachelle, this is an optimal range for muscle hypertrophy.
