Training

Like many Pro Bodybuilders, Jeff would usually focus on supersets in the gym, where you train to failure with no rest in between each exercise. Similarly, he likes to play around with his reps and sets weekly, where he might increase the weight for each set or drop set until muscle failure has been achieved.

Jeff usually devotes certain days to certain muscle groups, for instance, he would train shoulders and triceps one day then back and chest the next.

 

“Do what scares you until it doesn’t.”

Chest Training

Chest is one of Jeff’s most developed body parts. However, his pecs weren’t always so impressive as they are now. According to Jeff, he wasn’t genetically gifted in his upper body area, and had to train his chest 2-3 times per week in order to bring out the best of it.

Some of his favorite exercises for pectoralis include bench press, machine flys, and incline dumbbell press.

Jeff’s philosophy on training the chest is to hit it from all the possible angles, from 25-85 degrees. That’s one of the best ways to build an even chest, Jeff advises.

A typical chest, shoulders and triceps workout for Jeff might look like this:

8-12 reps of each exercise for 3-4 supersets:

• Bench press
• Incline dumbbell press
• High-to-low cable fly
• Upright row
• Reverse dumbbell fly
• Dumbbell overhead press
• Cable face pull
• Cable overhead extension
• Decline close-grip press
• Cable press-down

Nutrition

A bodybuilding diet like Jeff’s involves healthy whole foods, including lean proteins, oatmeal, wholegrains, vegetables and some healthy fats. To build extra muscle, Jeff will likely eat in a bulking and cutting cycle to prepare himself for competition. The bulking stage of any bodybuilders’ diet concentrates on packing on as much mass as possible. For the cutting stage, this would involve cutting your energy intake to strip off the fat, leaving the muscle for display.

Jeff’s macronutrients would look something like the below:

Bulking phase

Protein: 15% to 20%

Fat: 20% to 30%

Carbohydrate: 50% to 60%

Cutting phase

Protein: 20% to 25%

Fat: 15% to 20%

Carbohydrate: 55% to 60%

Jeff also pays particular attention to his supplements, specifically pre-workouts and protein powders.

Jeff is a big believer in making it for yourself and being your own hero. If we had to attribute Jeff’s physique goals to anything it would be this powerful way of thinking. To him, it’s all about putting yourself out of the comfort zone.

What you can take away from Jeff Dingo’s story is this: it’s all about believing in yourself, being humble, being hungry and being the hardest worker in the room. Don’t be discouraged by the time and effort it takes, but instead, learn to enjoy the entire process of your transformation!
