Klaudia Larson is turning heads with her impressive muscles and fitness routine. In a recent social media post, the bodybuilder and influencer flexes her biceps, showing off her incredible physique. “Throwing in yet another one of them famous biceps peak flexes. 💪 Just because I still can,” she playfully captioned her Instagram post. How does she stay in such incredible shape? From following a high-protein, low-carb diet to tackling intense workouts, Klaudia maintains a disciplined approach to fitness. She candidly admits to having a sweet tooth, but her commitment to consistency keeps her on track. Let’s take a look at how she balances her fitness goals, diet, and mindset for peak performance.
1. Healthy Diet
Klaudia doesn’t look the way she does by winging it with her diet. “I planned my whole diet and workout,” she told Bodybuilding. She keeps her meals consistent, noting making any “dramatic changes” in between competitions. “I will stick to pretty much the same diet and workout plan as I did for the Tampa and Dallas shows,” she said when discussing an upcoming show.
2. Sweet Tooth
“I really don't feel comfortable gaining too much weight in the off season. I try to stay in fairly good shape all year around, even in between shows, but it is a constant struggle because I am very fond of eating! Unfortunately I am also very weak for sweets and candy!” Klaudia told Bodybuilding. “I just love ice-cream, chocolate, cakes and... the Cinnamon buns! The struggle is constant between wanting to eat and the fear of putting on body fat! (The thing is once I got the taste of that junk stuff there is no stopping! I have a problem of overeating which I can't control very well).”
3. Self-Critical
Klaudia is her biggest critic. “I am extremely self critical!!!! Almost too much sometimes. I have a tendency of downgrading myself (I hear that a lot..) some times. But on the other hand this is what makes me keep on going, always trying to improve myself, to become better and better. And this makes me never be even close of being satisfied until I am really good!” she told the Hard Fitness.
4. High Protein, Low Carb Diet
“I keep my pre contest diet very simple. And very strict! Basically I stick to very high protein and very low on carbs for 4 days, and then have some more carbs for 2 days. In the beginning of my diet I give myself one cheating day every Saturday, but the last weeks I cut those out,” Klaudia told Hard Fitness about her diet. “My protein sources are chicken breasts, lean beef, white fish, tuna, salmon, some egg whites and protein shakes ( very low on carbs and fat!). During my low carb days I only eat green salad, broccoli and some beans. On the carb days I eat some oatmeal and rice or potatoes. I am always very careful to eat extra supplements such as vitamins and minerals, Omega 3, 6 and 9 and also my newest Nutritional supplement made of Sea weed!”
5. She Trains Hard
“I usually workout 3 days, rest for 1 day and continue like this. It is hard to specify how each and every workout looks. I always change exercises and the order of them to keep variation. I choose 3-4 exercises for each muscle group, and I do 4-5 sets of each exercise. The reps varies from 6-15 depending on if I am doing a heavy workout or using lighter weights and focus on high reps instead. Whether I use heavy low rep or light high rep depends on how I feel that specific day. I believe there is no use of trying to force yourself to stick to a bloody heavy low rep workout if you feel your body is absolutely not up to it that very day. It is always better to listen to your body and adjust your workout after how it feels. That way you get variation naturally,” she told Hard Fitness, revealing her workout schedule.
