Train Like Ms. Olympia: Andrea Shaw's Leg Workout Routine
We here at MUTANT® believe that there's always more to learn in the world of hardcore lifting- and who better to learn from than 3x Olympia Champ Andrea Shaw? We caught Ms. O after her first international flight as she took on a late night gym set at West Coast Iron. With not much time left in the day Andrea gets to work the only way she knows how: doing some ruthless supersets. We asked Andrea to dish out her leg routine so that all of MUTANT nation can attain some competition ready quads, and she was happy to share the knowledge.

Andrea's Tip: Try to get 2-3 sets in at your highest weight to really challenge the muscles.
We’re a big fan of Andrea Shaw's GRUELING supersets and strategy of pushing to the max when you’re strapped for time- we all know that familiar feeling of doing reps ‘til failure before the owner kicks you out. Andrea certainly doesn’t make it look like a walk in the park, but she does manage to put her legs to the test.
