How Do Fitness Models Do It

**sconroy** · 08-04-2003, 09:30 PM

What is the difference in the diet, training and routine of one of those male fitness models like you see on "Mens Health" to the diet, training and routine of a bodybuilder?

Less steroids.

i highly doubt those guys use gear since their nowhere near the size of a bber, since seeing that natural bber's are also much larger than they are. I would just say they diet and train just like the rest of us, their just pussies about it

To say that none of them use steroids is probably an over generalization. I'm sure many of them do not. I'm also sure that many of them do.

I have heard though that those guys you see on covers like that are usually pretty small.. like 150-180. Dunno how true that was.

i would agree with that, i wasnt trying to make a generalization and my bad if it came off sounding like that, but i would agree with the weight those guys arent that big, i would give the biggest guy 200 maybe, cuz of hight, some of those guys look pretty tall.

I heard that also from a documentry on BBC a few years ago.

Reagrding how they achieve their physique, they probably train like they say in the magazine, not with as much volume or intensity as BODYBUILDERS.
On the steroid issue im sure some of them do use some deca, dianabol, testosterone etc. But maybe not use such a highly difficult diet and training routine to benefit enough from them.

So far i have said how they are not like Bodybuilders, but lets admit that a bodybuilder starting an advanceed stage can look like some of them.

They reach their goal and just maintain from then on.

he's a fitness model: http://www.stanmcquay.com/

**KarateChris** · 08-04-2003, 10:13 PM

AND Stan is my idle. Now, I don't want to be a fitness model. He does model, but he also bodybuilds. He's won the middleweight division at NPC nationals before (i think 2001). He's my same height (5'7"), and I'm very confident that I can achieve that build and compete nationally. My goal is to win my division at Nationals (which will be either Middleweight or Light Heavy).... eventually obviously.

Edit: He's won first in middleweight in several national shows.

yea, that guy is hella tite, and he is not a pussy, i met him he is from socal.

I think he is natural? Right?

**anthonykent84** · 08-04-2003, 10:42 PM

heeeeelllllllllllllllllll no that guys not natural

**Striation** · 08-05-2003, 04:43 AM

I saw him on an ab swing infomercial and he looks pretty juiced up to me. He actually looked bigger than in that pic.

Yes, he's "supposedly" natural. He started out doing natural competitions, and he says that he's still natural to this day. I'm not going to be the one to judge whether he's natural or not. His last competition weight at Nationals was 176 at 5'7". Frankly, I don't care if he's natural or not. Great if he is, great if he's not. I can relate to him in certain ways since we're the same height and because he's a black belt in two types of martial arts (I wish I knew the two). And obviously from my name, I'm in martial arts.

The models dont use as much volume and instensity as body builders? Thats all these ****ers are, BBers. They are about 150-180lbs, ranging from 5'8" to 6'. They pimper and pamper about 40 different ****ing body parts a workout to hit every angle of the bicep like a bunch of ***gots. These ****s are actually weak.

The real ****ing **** is the powerlifters. Not these ***gots.

LOL.

Sure buddy. I think the majority of guys on this forum want to look like them. Deny it all you want... I respect them. Look they're in great shape, ripped, have some size and work hard for what they have.

I do respect powerlifters more though.

**HyperionGauss** · 08-05-2003, 03:04 PM

Nobody pimpers and pampers THAT many body parts. They've still built themselves considerable mass, they're not morons to over train, I'm sure many of them just reach their goal and maintain, as stated before.

Is he still an amateur, or has he turned pro now?

**NeonX** · 08-05-2003, 03:50 PM

They don't get all big and bulky because most girls don't like that. They are fitness models and must have a desirable appearance. They build up to a certain muscle mass and then they just maintain that and try to get super lean and cut.

one thing im pretty sure they do a billion ab workouts and haven't touched a big mac in 15 years

He's not IFBB pro. He's won his division several times in nationals, but you have to win overall to win your pro card (to my understanding). And he's never won overall. It's hard for a middleweight to beat out a heavy weight. Although, in the NPC Junior Nationals that just happened this year, the middleweight did win overall, which gives me some hope.

**rich0331** · 08-05-2003, 09:13 PM

Make fun of fitness models all you want. . .but they gotta be doing something right to be that lean and well cut, all the power to em

**Bramble** · 10-09-2009, 03:04 AM
