I literally said that I will be Mr. Olympia as a small kid. And there were many, many people who told me that\u2019s stupid, that it\u2019s not achievable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot for a small guy from a village somewhere in Germany. But there was something inside me that just kept me going, just in a true deep belief that it is possible.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4 id=\"cable-lat-pulldowns\">Cable Lat Pulldowns\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p>He warmed up his lats with pullovers and explained why he uses wrist wraps for better grip strength.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s always the same thing. When people train back or hamstrings, for example, when they lift, their grip strength is just not good enough, especially not when you do high reps on high weights.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4 id=\"iso-lateral-front-pulldown-machine\">Iso Lateral Front Pulldown Machine\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p>Sommerfeld moved on with the front pulldown machine, targeting his lats for growth.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"single-arm-row-machine-alternating\">Single-Arm Row Machine (Alternating)\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p>For better stability, the Classic Physique star twists his body, which he said has also helped him boost his calorie deficit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cTwist to sit stable, and this arm is doing the work, but all the rest needs to be stabilized. This is how I create a deeper calorie deficit because I have to work so much harder in order to stabilize my entire body and do the exercise at the repetitions [I want].\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4 id=\"standing-cable-reverse-fly\">Standing Cable Reverse Fly\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p>Between cable reverse fly sets, Sommerfeld discussed learning from his mistakes as he sets his sights on his first Olympia title.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cW-O-R-K, it\u2019s work. So that\u2019s what I did. I wouldn\u2019t say that I started perfectly. I\u2019ve made many mistakes, and I always encourage people to do as many mistakes as they can as long as they learn.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4 id=\"alternating-standing-dumbbell-curl\">Alternating Standing Dumbbell Curl\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p>He built his biceps with standing dumbbell curls, and maintained intensity with strong contractions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"fv-inline-newsletter-5\" class=\"fv-newsletter\" style=\"background:#fff;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;border-radius:8px;padding:30px 35px;margin:30px 0;box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,.06);\">\n<h3 style=\"margin:0 0 15px;font-size:1.5em;font-weight:700;color:#222;\">Get Fitter, <em>Faster<\/em><\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 20px;font-size:1em;color:#444;line-height:1.6;\">Level Up Your Fitness: Join our \ud83d\udcaa strong community in Fitness Volt Newsletter.
