Any Fitness Models here? (not everyone wants to be HUGE)

Are there any fitness models on these forums? Not everyone wants to be the biggest guy in the gym, some just want to be the best looking haha. Anyone here a fitness model and do you train differently? Less compound movements maybe? What cycles? I know Makavelli did some fitness modeling and has a pretty ideal body type but he hasn't been on these forums in a while WHERE IS HE?
 
Id say training is the same. they would stay relatively lean year round with a strict diet, then when its time for photo shoots, cut down the carbs and calories a bit and add some cardio 6-8 weeks before the shoot. something along those lines. fitness models dont need to get to 2-3% and extremely dry like pro bodybuilders do but i believe they do have to stay pretty lean all year since im sure they will be doing more then 1 shoot and im sure they will be more then glad to take do other photo shoots when asked.

training wise, id say work out 5 days per week, chest, back, shoulders, arms, and legs, 4-5 exercises for each muscle, 3-4 sets of 6-12, concentrating more on form then the poundage. cardio 3-4 times per week.

You aren't that skinny guy who shows-up at the gym wearing an under-armor shirt that's two sizes too small, are you?
 
And see what I was thinking training for that type of physique would be different, Less compounds movements and more emphasis on certain body parts (CHEST, ABS, BICEPS)
 
Eat and juice less more cardio lift the same its not rocket science...

Here's the only kind of fitness model I'm interested in.

Actually, I did some fitness modeling in my day, but I didn't train in a specific way for it. I trained like a bodybuilder. I just wasn't naturally bulky -- always been on the thin side so that was the end result. All I had to do was eat clean for a week, lose some water and I was ready to go. It's genetics.

i was about to say that there was too much harsh banter in this thread.
But chest, abs and biceps...classic
 
Stop flaming this guy. This isn't C&C. I will happily hand out free passes to band camp
 
damn nelson. a little harsh huh? but ya dude just lift and eat right, throw in some cardio and you should be fine. you need heavy compound movements for size. theres a difference between an Abercrombie model and a FITNESS model. Abercrombie dudes are small and weak.

OP,

EF is for people who want to take the next step up when it comes to building muscle.. so I'm afraid our current stock of male fitness models don't match up to the standard we desire
but if you want to be in MuscleMag or Muscle & Fitness magazine then I think this is a good place to start and frequently refer to..

Anyone seen Bigger, Stronger and Faster DVD? bloody good documentary...
 
ya its awesome. lol i got it for christmas been watchin it religiously. makes me not so worried about the ugly side of gear. cautious yes, worried or scared.....not so much.
 
I think it would be pretty tough to get into their shape! They are taller guys, like what 6'-6'4"ish? So they are already taller which is harder to put on musle. So that means they gotta be like 220-240 with 7-10%ish ( if u do the caliper test). Christian Boeving(sp?) Is like 6'2" and 230-240 or something and very lean, and he is/was like the "cover model" for Muscletech. I would say that's quite hard for the average guy to get to, let alone try and bb at these heights! I got respect for them, because they are in better shape than me, and most ppl.
 
Not sure?

Excuse me, I meant to say its harder to fill out being tall, not harder to put on muscle. Can't edit on my bb :/
 
ya i would have to agree. im fairly tall (6 foot) right around 200 pounds with decent size but i have a hard time getting to that "full" look. i just have longer bones and more area to put muscle on than the shorter guys. not taking anything away from short guys. we all have to work hard but shorter bones i think make a difference in looking full.
