Okay, so I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz about Rhea Ripley’s physique, and honestly, I was curious too. I mean, she’s ripped! So, I decided to do a little experiment and try to figure out her “weight” – not in a creepy way, but like, what kind of weight training does she do to get that strong?
Digging for Clues
First, I hit up the internet. I figured there’d be tons of articles or interviews, but it was surprisingly tricky. It’s mostly fan pages and, you know, not super reliable info.
I watched some of her matches, paying close attention to the moves she does. You can tell a lot about someone’s strength by how they handle other wrestlers. Lots of power slams, deadlifts… you get the idea.
My Own Gym Time
Then, I decided to go to my own gym and, well, experiment. I wasn’t trying to become Rhea Ripley overnight, but I wanted to get a feel for the kind of weight she might be moving.
- Deadlifts: Started light, obviously. I gradually added weight, trying to imagine what it would feel like to lift, say, another human being. (Spoiler: it’s hard!)
- Squats: Focused on really good form, going deep. I figure she has to have incredibly strong legs for all those jumps and power moves.
- Overhead Press: This one was tough! I could really feel it in my shoulders and upper back. Gave me a new appreciation for her strength.
The “Results” (Not Really Numbers)
I did get stronger and improve a bit, but I also gained a lot of respect and realized how hard it is to train.
Look, I’m not going to pretend I figured out exactly what Rhea Ripley’s weight training routine is, or the exact kgs/lbs she lifts. That’s her business, and frankly, it probably changes all the time. But what I did get was a much better sense of the kind of dedication and power it takes to build that kind of physique. It’s not just about the numbers; it’s about the consistent hard work, day in and day out. Mad respect!
