I started training six bikini competitors all at once.

I didn't even have a gym at that time.

I trained them out of my six floor condo in Phoenix, Arizona.

I smuggled equipment up to my sixth floor when the security guards were distracted.

And I had like six pieces of equipment and they got so strong.

I think Sammy probably doubled her glute size in six months.

But I'm like every month – I only train her twice a week, Monday, Thursday back then.

And I'm like every Thursday her workouts suck.

And I'm like, oh, my God, she's gaining so much strength, but every Thursday workout sucks.

I'm going to just give her one set to failure.

And one set to failure of like – so she'd do like five or six sets on Monday, five or six sets on Thursday, and the other girls would go –

Coach, why does she only have to do one set?

And I'd go, you can do one set if you want.

I think you want to do more.

I don't think you want to do one set.

Most people want to do more volume.

But I'd say it's because she's so strong.

I remember I had this 106-pound kettlebell they were deadlifting.

160-pound kettlebell?

No, no, no, 106 pounds.
