What Rigorous Workout Routine and Diet Does 266lb Rhea Ripley Follow to Maintain Her Ripped Physique?

Rhea Ripley is not just the top female wrestler right now, but also one of the biggest stars in the WWE. That’s evident from the fact that she is the 5th highest merchandise seller in the WWE for the month of September. Her legion of fans is growing every day by leaps and bounds. But being at the top of the wrestling food chain also demands being in prime shape. And ‘Mami’ goes through a strict workout and diet plan to maintain that Greek Goddess physique of hers.

So let’s do a deep dive into ‘Mami’s’ workout and diet plan.

Rhea Ripley’s rigorous arm workout

Rhea Ripley reminds most wrestling fans of WWE legend Chyna. And this is not just because of her dominant position in The Judgment Day but also because of her ripped physique. Ripley is here to prove those people wrong who think that female wrestlers don’t spend as much time in the gym as their male counterparts do. Yes, an LA Knight, for example, will put in the extra hours at the gym as can be seen in his workout schedule. But what Ripley does is also supremely commendable. To maintain this jacked body, Ripley puts herself through a grueling workout 6 days a week. Her workout mainly consists of 20 minutes of cardio, followed by 2-3 hours of weight lifting.

In her 2022 appearance on Sheamus’s Celtic Warrior Workouts, she detailed the arm workout that makes her the strongest woman in the WWE. Ripley’s workout majorly follows a pyramid-style training with descending reps and ascending weights throughout. This style of workout is perfect for increasing the strength, size, and endurance of a specific muscle group. Below is the detailed set breakup of her workout.

Warm-Up:

Seated Biceps Curls + Triceps Pushdowns + Overhead Cable Triceps Extensions: 5 x 15, 15, 12, 12, 10

Workout:

EZ Curl Bar Skull Crushers + Horizontal Dumbbell Triceps Presses + Rope Hammer Curls: 3 x 15

Reverse Cable Triceps Pulldown + Reverse Cable Biceps Curls: 3 x 15, 12, 12

The Finisher:

Hammer Curls + Bodyweight Triceps Dips + Cable Preacher Curls: 3 x 30

Rhea Ripley’s diet plan and her favorite cheat meal

Ripley gets her healthy meals sent to her every Sunday by a meal prep company. They tailor the meals as per her calorie requirements at a macro level. She is currently following a new program where she has all her meals written out by her trainer. She strictly consumes a meal every 2-3 hours.

But on Sheamus’s Celtic Warrior Workouts, Ripley revealed that her favorite cheat meal is pizza. She loves cheese pizzas, but Provolone and Mozzarella are her absolute favorites. She even mentioned that she is a big fan of Hawaiian pizza, which includes pineapple.
