Bodybuilding philosophy

Hendershott's training consists of a combination of simple compound movements with free weights and body weight excersises such as push-ups and bodyweight squats (she will sometimes will use machines and cables). She typically trains 5 days a week in the off-season and on-season focusing on her chest, Back, and Arms as primary muscle groups in order to make them match her strong legs and shoulders. Jen usually trains two body parts per day on the off-season, and performs one or two cardio sessions a day (one with her weight training and another one at night). She also trains abs three times a week.
