Woman with Muscles, Second to None in Asia, Takes You Through Two Exercises
When it comes to Asian Barbie Steel, we must mention Korea's Cheeyon-yeom, who has a delicate face, but her muscular lines can kill most men. 'Steel Barbie' is not derogatory, but rather a compliment, as it not only praises her beauty but also praises the muscles she gained through years of hard training.
Many people are curious about how Cheeyon-yeom started fitness and why she became so strong. Cheeyon-yeom's husband is a famous bodybuilder, and after marrying him, she often followed him to train, and she fell in love with the feeling of muscle and full power.
Cheeyon-yeom's muscles are among the best in Asia, and she has participated in bodybuilding competitions multiple times, achieving good results. However, she is not enthusiastic about bodybuilding competitions, and after participating a few times, she stopped. She finds it a very troublesome thing to participate in competitions, and she just wants to train and maintain her muscle mass every day. Participating in competitions disrupts her daily training plan.
Many people are concerned that women's muscles will become too large and become masculine. In fact, most female bodybuilders are very good-looking outside of the season. Cheeyon-yeom hasn't participated in competitions for a long time, and her training volume is not as much as before, and her figure looks very feminine, and you can't feel she was once one of the best Asian 'Steel Barbies'.
Currently, Cheeyon-yeom is a coach at a gym, and as a well-known Asian 'Steel Barbie', she naturally doesn't lack students. At first, many women were worried that training with her would make their muscles too big, but after a period of training, they realized that it was very difficult to build muscles.
Regarding women's fitness, Cheeyon-yeom believes that aerobic exercise is still necessary, but it's not just running that counts as aerobic exercise. Cheeyon-yeom prefers boxing as a way to reduce fat, because it can reduce fat and cultivate body coordination and explosiveness, which is very helpful for maintaining female muscles. In terms of strength training, she recommends that women do squats and deadlifts.
1Squats
When squatting, you must keep your back straight and don't bend. If you only squat to the position where your thighs and the ground are parallel, don't let your knees go beyond your toes. If you squat to a larger depth, where your knees extend beyond your toes, it depends on the depth of your squat, and our focus when squatting should be more on the contraction of the gluteal muscles.
2Deadlifts
Deadlifts is a compound movement that can stimulate multiple muscle groups, and the effect is far better than isolated movements. Two times per week of deadlift training can strengthen the hamstring muscles, gluteal muscles, lower back, and upper back. For women, deadlifts can effectively shape the gluteal muscles and a straight posture. During deadlifts, the core should be activated to stabilize the body. Practicing deadlifts often can increase metabolism and burn excess fat.
