Logan Franklin has been training for nine years. He is a successful personal trainer, fitness model, IFBB Pro and to top it off… US Army Combat Veteran. Having such an impressive history of achievements, we caught up with Logan to know more about his attitude towards training and the tools he uses to succeed in the world of bodybuilding.
Why do you train?
I train in the gym to live a healthier, more aesthetic lifestyle. I want to feel good about myself everywhere I go and look good as well.
What is your training philosophy?
I love training with lots of volume! Medium to heavy weight enough to push me through the workout but still aiming for a 12-15 rep range every set. Sometimes longer rest periods however when I’m getting ready for a competition or a photo-shoot I don’t rest much between sets.
What is your current training routine?
- Chest/tris/abs
- Back/bis/calves
- Arms/abs
- Shoulders/calves
- Legs
- Repeat
I do cardio to help increase the fat burning process. I do about 40 minutes of cardio everyday when I’m in preparation for a competition or photo-shoot.
What is unique about your training?
I feel like my training is unique because I switch up my exercises a lot. I don’t necessarily follow a certain plan I just do whatever exercise I feel like will target the muscle best at the time.
What is your favorite exercise?
My favorite exercise is probably cable flys, in any variation!
How would you describe your diet? Do you follow any protocols?
I follow whatever diet my nutrition coach writes me for the time. I eat clean year round so I stay pretty conditioned year round.
What’s your favorite ‘junk’ food?
Ice cream!
What are you ultimate aspirations in the sport?
I want to be all I can be within the sport. Yes I was to win every competition I enter. But my goals go past just competing, I want to one day be a star actor in the next big movie!
