BIOGRAPHY
Regan is a professional bodybuilder that has been training since he was 17. When Regan first started working out, he just wanted to get stronger and bigger for motocross races. After seeing the results from his training, he became hooked. Regan looked up to Antonie Valliant during his journey. He watched all of Antonie’s training videos and took notes. His love for building his body grew and he decided to begin competing.
Regan made his first appearance in a bodybuilding show at 18 years old and is now an IFBB pro bodybuilder, fitness entrepreneur, and owns his own gym.
TRAINING
Regan’s main goal while working out is getting as much blood flowing to his muscles as much as possible.
His favorite thing about training is ‘the pump’. The pump is warming up to get your blood flowing and to get your joints ready for heavy sets. Proceed to heavy compound exercises to work on your strength and hypertrophy will ensure serious growth.
After the pump, Regan moves on to isolation exercises, but will utilize lighter weights.
