MONICA ALONGI'S TRAINING

Day 1: Chest, Triceps, Biceps
Day 2: Legs
Day 3: Back, Abs
Day 4: Shoulders, Abs, Calves
Day 5: Gymnastics

For chest, I like bench press, incline db press, cable crossover and various pushups. Triceps, I love dips and cable extensions. Biceps are my favourite. I like barbell curls and incline db curls.

Legs are my weakest and not my favourite but I train hard anyway. I start out with squats or one leg press, lunges, hamstring curl, deadlifts, seated calf and standing calf.

I love Shoulders too. I do military press or db shoulder press, side raises, rear delt raise using cable or db or machine, hand stand pushups. I love Abs! My favourite are hanging leg raises, incline leg raise or reverse crunches. My shoulders and triceps get a good workout during gymnastics.

When I weight train I do 3 sets of 6-10 reps with maximum weight using good form. As I get closer to competition, I add in cardio in the mornings 3 times a week for a 45 minute session. My gymnastic training increases and becomes more intense in cardiovascular from practicing my routine. I always try to train with someone who is capable to spot me and motivate me. When I first started, I hired a trainer to ensure I use good form so I can prevent injury and maximize my results.
