by Joy Victoria -

There's nothing sexier than a fit, confident, strong woman. Here's how to turn your cardio queen into a T Vixen.

The Athlete: Have a body type very similar to Derrick Rose, Russell Westbrook, and John Wall. Would you consider these guys ectomorphs?

DylanPizzacalla: i realize this is a late post but could you do a 5/3/1 like periodization plan focus in the morning and then a tempo related or md training in the evening for strength and hypertrophy?

MytchBucanan: I think he makes a good point about tension especially considering the leverage difference. I tried some kettlebell curls for biceps a while back and it turned it into more of a swinging exercise. It felt like my biceps were actually accelerating or "launching" the weight instead of just lifting it. I put a lot of size on my hamstrings from kettlebell swings.....so I think there is something to say about lifting lighter wieghts with LESS leverage.

Barachiel: @Sergio - solid article. I like to mix in the KB squats with clients periodically. Especially when the rack is occupied and it works within their strength level. I'll have to try the cue "screw your feet into the ground," I think that's where a client of mine is breaking down. :)

Barachiel: @MiketheBear - Good point by the way. I think there is some beneficial transference for these and goblet squats. I've heard Dan John talk about it, but one can't get too caught up in one approach over the other, have to use the tools as they are needed :)

Barachiel: @cold_summer: My guess would be, and I think Mahler would agree, that no one can really claim to be the originator of anything related to exercise, including him. Go back far enough and it has all been done and taught before. Therefore it is more accurate to reference the obscure textbook then a specific coach.
