"Cameron Brink is on a mission to get jacked. Sure, she's is already a pro athlete for the WNBA. But the Los Angeles Sparks forward has become "kind of a snob" about building muscle. "I'm stronger than I've ever been, and that's because I've tried to be genuinely intentional about what I'm putting in my body and my routine," she told me for Business Insider."
"Brink recently gushed over Zoom with me about her favorite strength training exercises (Bulgarian split squats) and equipment (a Keiser leg extension machine at her trainer's house), laughing a little at herself. It's a level of gym nerdiness that would have been unheard of for her a few years ago. But "that's what ACL recovery does to you," Brink said. Last season marked her return from a 2024 injury, and since then, she's been all about lifting weights."
Cameron Brink has focused on increasing strength through intentional weight training since returning from ACL recovery. She emphasizes Bulgarian split squats and uses specialized equipment like a Keiser leg extension machine. Brink increased dietary protein and uses MyFitnessPal to track protein and macros. She eats high-protein overnight oats or chia pudding with fiber for breakfast and relies on PB&Js for game-day energy. Brink highlights the challenge of fueling a 6'4" frame and says tracking intake made a huge difference. She follows a flexible, low-stress approach to diet to avoid pressure while supporting muscle growth.
