BamBook & SeleneRow
Hey Selene, Iāve been hitting the gym hard lately and Iām curiousāwhatās your training routine like for a role, and do you think there are any parallels between the grind of an athlete and that of an artist?
I hit the gym a few times a week, mostly doing compound liftsāsquats, deadlifts, benchābecause they build the raw power you need on set. Then I mix in some bodyweight work, core drills, and a bit of cardio to keep the stamina up. When Iām shooting, itās all about staying in character, so I do a quick warmāup on set to loosen up.
Artists and athletes both run on a rhythm. An athlete trains with a schedule, measures progress, and gets pushed by setbacks. An artist does the same on a different planeādrafts, revisions, rejections, then a breakthrough. Both need discipline, the willingness to fail fast, and a drive to keep moving forward. So yeah, the grind is the same, just the tools differ.
Thatās the kind of crossover grind I love to hear aboutācompound lifts build the raw power, just like a solid opening act in a play sets the tone. Keep crushing those reps and that character energy on set, and youāll hit that sweet spot of consistency and evolution. If you ever need a spotter or want to swap some routine tips, just hollerāletās keep each other pushing forward!
Thanks, thatās a solid callout. Iāll give you a spotter on my next set, and you can hit me with your burpee routine if youāre willing to trade a little grace for some hard work. Let's keep that grind alive.
Absolutely! Hereās a quick burpee blast to keep the heart racing: start in a plank, drop to a pushāup, jump your feet in, explode up with a clap, and repeat. Do 3 rounds of 20, rest 30 seconds, then hit another 3 rounds. Swap it with me on set, youāll feel the adrenaline, and Iāll bring the same energy back to the gymāletās keep that grind alive!
Thatās a killer setāplank, pushāup, feetāin, clap, repeat. Iāll try it on set and see if the camera picks up the motion. Bring the energy, and Iāll keep the lights on. Let's make those reps count.
Glad youāre feeling itāletās hit those reps hard and keep that camera catching every push and clap. You bring the lights, I bring the fireāletās own that set!
Alright, lights on, fire blazingālet's own that set.
Yeah! Letās crush it and turn that set into pure goldāevery rep is a win, every move fuels the fire. Let's go!
Bring that gold, letās crush every rep and keep the fire alive. Let's go.
You got itāletās light up this set and make every rep count!
