Sleep, eat, work, train six days a week. Off on Sunday. Please tell me something about your daily training routine.
The most interesting thing is I don’t lift on leg day. I only lift for hamstrings, calves. How often do you train in a week?
Three days weights, three days cardio What are the main differences when you train for a competition and in off-season?
I am so much more focused for competition and I do something everyday. I also eat better. If you don’t mind would you give me some stats (best lifts and some body measurements)?
Nothing too exciting to report. 36-28-39 Which bodypart is your best in your opinion?
My butt. What is your favorite exercise in the gym and which one you don’t like so much?
I like training all bodyparts. Favorite exercise is deadlifting. Judging in Women’s Bodybuilding has always been criticised in one or the other way. Please tell me your honest thoughts about today’s judging in Women’s Bodybuilding.
Well, I do not promote androgyny, or drug abuse. The judging criteria is too vague. Please tell me about what else you are doing when you don’t work out (profession, hobbies, etc.)
I enjoy taking care of my man and my dogs. What are your future plans for 2005?
Turn pro, add mother to my titles, make a lot of money and change the direction of women’s bodybuilding. Please note: Carolyn does not do sessions or wrestling of any kind. Please don't ask!! |
