My Workout

Adkins focuses a lot on volume training and simple weight training.

Adkins makes sure to hit the gym five to six days each week and train intensely. He mostly focuses on compound lifts to gain functional strength and gain muscle.

He mixes up his workouts, training three days with weights and two days with cardio mixed with martial arts. Aside from explosive movements, he performs plyometrics for his lower body.
