Bodybuilder Helle Trevino in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Best Lifts Today"

She shares her fitness journey, from leg day progress to disciplined dieting.

Helle Trevino is squatting at the gym in her exercise clothes. In a new social media post the bodybuilder flaunts her impressive physique while squatting on a machine. "It was a fantastic leg day today! Since I've had stemcells in my knees from @bioxcellerator my knees has continued to improve and my strength has exploded up from not being able to squat in January to squatting over 330lbs / 145kg," she captioned the post. Her workout included squats, hack squats, leg press, and RDLs. "Besides being strong today, I was feeling cute in my outfit from @officialbetterbodies 💜," she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits. 

1

Discipline with Diet

When it comes to diet, it's all about discipline, says Helle.  "Discipline is something I believe can be learned, It takes time to get disciplined, but I believe everyone can learn it," she told Muscle & Fitness. "You can have that diet plan and then you need that discipline."

Clear Goal Setting

Goal setting is also key. "Try to remember why you really want to do this," Trevino says. "Why do you want to lose weight or gain weight? Remember your goal."

Meal Prep

Trevino is a fan of meal prepping. "I cook a big box of rice, big box of veggies and a lot of chicken," she says. "Instead of cooking one chicken breast every single meal, I cook 10 and have enough for 3 or 4 days." While she mainly sticks to chicken, she enjoys other sources of protein. "Right now i'll still have a sirloin steak a day. I feel like steak works really well with my body," she said. "I don't eat so much fish. I eat sushi for refeeds but my body works better on carbs and protein."

Two to Six Hours a Day of Lifting

Helle lifts weights for two hours six days a week. In the off-season she'll do a little more cardio. "I don't do much barbell bench," Trevino added. "I do a lot of dumbbell bench because I feel it's not so hard on my shoulders … the other day was chest day and I did 75-pound dumbbells in each hand for 10 reps. Incline."

5

Low Carbs

When she wants to blast belly fat, she modifies her diet. "Keep your carbs low," she says. "Belly fat is usually too much sugar, too much fats, too much sweets. Cut out all the sweets. Of course you can have your favorite meal once in a while, maybe once a week but the other six days you must be disciplined."
