Who Is Aspen Rae?

Aspen Rae is a renowned adult model, fitness enthusiast, and social media influencer known for her exceptionally toned and muscular physique. In addition to her successful modeling career, she has made her mark as a Figure competitor in NPC competitions.

Aspen Rae, hailing from Northern California, discovered her athletic spirit early on. With a natural affinity for long-distance running and swimming, she thrived and developed a deep passion for these sports. However, like many young adults, she sought new challenges post-high school. Seeking to enhance her strength and physique, Aspen embraced weightlifting and explored various exercises that pushed her limits and delivered the results she desired.

Her newfound passion for lifting led her to compete in NPC shows, where she quickly excelled. Initially entering the Bikini division, Aspen soon found her stride in the Figure division. 

Simultaneously, Aspen ventured into modeling through adult acting — a path she was apprehensive about sharing with her religious parents. Yet, with their unwavering support, she embarked on her modeling career, dedicating herself to perfecting her physique and earning a living through her endeavors. 

Nowadays, she enjoys spending most of her time traveling, which you can check out on her YouTube channel below:

Aspen Rae’s Workout Routine 

Aspen Rae’s workout regimen is as disciplined as it is intense. She follows a structured five-day training split, focusing on different muscle groups daily. This balanced approach ensures comprehensive muscle development and adequate recovery time — a crucial element in bodybuilding.

Aspen Rae starts her training week by targeting her lagging muscle groups, which she believes are her lower body. Beginning with the weaker muscle groups while fresh allows them to catch up to the more dominant muscle groups since you’ll have more energy at the beginning of the week to push the weight and handle more workload. Moreover, she hits these muscle groups twice as much to aid her lagging muscles, which also helps them catch up to the rest of your physique. 

Aspen Rae’s favorite exercises fall on a back day — assisted pull-ups and upright rows. Assisted pull-ups are great for targeting your back while allowing you to do more reps than bodyweight pull-ups because they take away some of your pulled weight. Upright rows develop the traps and delts

She saves the end of the week for cardio to burn additional calories, improve her heart health, and burn fat. Her preferred form of cardio is HIIT (high-intensity interval training) workouts. She also likes to target her shoulders at the end of the week and uses Sunday as a complete rest day to enable her muscles, bones, and joints a day of complete rest from lifting.
