Samantha Stosur


I watched the women's tennis finals yesterday, Sunday. The Australian, Samantha Stosur, beat Serena Williams.

Both Serena and Samantha have biceps to die for, but Samantha's definition is a bit more ....defined ; ).

Her biceps are about as big as a woman's can get without taking HGH or steroids, and it just goes to show that you can work out and look muscular and sexy at the same time.

Now..according to an article, Samantha doesn't do bicep curls. I find that very difficult to believe. But according to her trainer, Giselle Martin, this is what she does;
Giselle Martin, the physical trainer of Sam Stosur, says: “Sam’s preseason training consists of Swimming, Sand Dune running, Stairs/Hill sprints, Boxing/Kickboxing, Sprints using resistant bands/Parachutes, Core Strengthening using Bossu/Fitball, Strength sessions using weights/Straps/Kettle Bells/Vibroplate.
'With only one weeks rest, from a gruelling year on the women’s tennis circuit, Sam was back into her pre-season training.

'We started with cross training (doing exercises she doesn't normally do e.g sand dune running, swimming etc) it's refreshing and she responds well to training diversity. The variety in her training ensures each session is new and exciting. I like to train with Sam or have someone train with her. This keeps that competitive edge, whilst challenging her and pushing Sam to her limits.

'As we get closer to the Aussie circuit we introduce more tennis specific exercises. It’s a building process, each week the training changes, it's all calculated and everything we aim to do, is for a reason, purpose!!!

'It’s imperative that we use pre-season training in Australia to our advantage. Whilst other players around the world are training in cold climates, we have the advantage of training in the heat etc, we become acclimatised to these harsh conditions (35-40’ heat) prior to the Australian Open.'

  1. Fantastic body. She is my preferred women's player right now. Lacks still a bit consistency though.
