When it comes to training for a show there's a different style for each competitor out there. Every competitor has big plans and high hopes in presenting themselves as best as possible on stage. Due to this; there are many training variations among competitors within the same division. In a recent interview on the radio show Sports After Dark with NPC Competitors Allison Moyer and Erin Strickland; IFBB Pro Andrea Watson shared a few of her secrets about her training for the Arnold Classic.
When she was asked by the radio host duo how her training was going Andrea admitted she did not train with weights for eight weeks. Andrea is 4'11", competes around 103 lbs and gains muscle very easily so her trainer decided weights would not be the way to train for her pro debut as a figure competitor at the Arnold. Instead she replaced weights with cardio; three hours of cardio a day. Only in the past two weeks has Andrea including weight training; mainly "hitting" her shoulders and glutes. She also admitted to Alli and Eryn she realized her body has changed since her first show and she doesn't notice the weight coming off as easily as the first time.
Training and prepping for one of the biggest expos in bodybuilding has added a bit of stress to Andrea's pro debut because she has been reminded she will be competing against the most elite athletes in the industry. The Arnold expo is going to add an entirely new dimension to IFBB Pro Andrea Watson's dossier. Although Andrea is still relatively new to the sport, she has high standards such as winning the Olympia or The Arnold one day. So far, her competition record is flawless with four wins in a row and receiving her pro-card on the fourth win. Perhaps, this weekend will also prove to be another victory for IFBB Pro Andrea Watson or a great learning experience.

If I could change one thing it would be... my father's health.
The most memorable moment in my career thus far is... really think winning her first show. Couldn't believe it.

Three hours of cardio at once? Wow! I can't go more than 30 minutes at a time. She's very lucky she gains muscle quickly. She obviously looks fantastic so her hard work has paid off.
You couldn't pay me to three hours of cardio!
She's beautiful. I love exercising, but I could never keep going for three hours.
