Questions – 2/27/2012
Joseph
Hey there, mate. I am curious as to what you might suggest for gaining the cut-look underneath the pec, to help round that out. My upper pecs are full, but I would like underneath the pec to be a bit more shaped. Is this primarily a decline, press/fly movement, or is there anything else to that? Thanks!

Tyler - Dips and cable flys will target that area as well. I suggest prioritizing this into your chest workouts. Example workout I would do would be
- Decline Press
- Dips
- Decline Fly
- Flat Press
- Cable Fly

Hey Tyler this might seem like a confusing question but have you noticed your face changing as your weight changes? When I am at my leanest, my jawline is much more pronounced and i Just feel as if I look different whereas when I have put on excess weight my face is also different. I also see that bodybuilders and their faces are much different when they are dieting for a show and in the offseason. Thoughts?
27 February 2012
Tyler - Yeah it just has to do with body fat fluctuations. I remember when I was at my heaviest at 255lb my cheeks were very full and puffy looking. Now since my body fat doesn't ever get high my face stays lean.

My bad this is my first time using this and I hit return by mistake. As I was saying, I am just coming back to the gym after a back injury. I don't want to use supplements. I want to work out natutal. No store brought proteins none of that. Just fresh fruits,vegetables and nuts. No red meat fish and chicken. Now, you and I are the same height 6'3, can I achieve muscle growth naturally w/o using supplements?
27 February 2012
Tyler - You can just make sure your are eating enough protein and getting enough rest. I suggest 1.5g to 2g per body pound of protein.

Tyler, when or if you take creatine on your non training days, do you mix it with jiuce or just in your protein shakes?
27 February 2012
Tyler - The only creatine I take is what's in Cell K.E.M. and I still take it on my off days before I go to bed

Do you swim at all? Swimming is good for cutting right?

Tyler - A few years ago in 2009 when I was trying to lost a bunch of weight to try out fashion modeling I swam several times a week. It will get you into great shape and the shittier of a swimmer you are the more you will get out of it because it is HARD. What kept happening to me was that I would get swimmers ear. Even though I wore ear plugs too...so make sure to wear ear plugs because swimmers ear is very annoying

Tyler, if you are looking for suggestions to cover in the members section, I would love to see stiff-leg deadlifts. It's pretty advanced, and I would love to hear your advice on how to do it correctly.

Tyler - thanks Daniel will do!

CHEST/Biceps/Calve/Abs
My second workout at the new gym and it was INTENSE. I'm surprised that my strength is still going up considering I'm low carbs and doing extra cardio.

Tyler, i read that your taking glycocarb with evp pre-workout? Do you take them together? The EVP directions say to take it on an empty stomach, does it matter if you take your carbs with it?

Hey Tyler, have you always been vascular? Other then lowering your body fat, are there are ways to get your veins to appear thicker and more apparant? Does cardio help since it promotes the increase of blood flow?

Tyler, from my experience with web designers, I learned to expect delays and broken promises unless you go with a very high end company. Still, I'm looking forward to becoming a member. Your present site gives daily inspiration.

Tyler, When you say that you wil never put on extra body fat, does that mean you will not be doing anymore "bulking phases" in the near future with Hanny?

Do you have any recommendations for someone who may be looking into getting into fitness modeling? Where do you start? Is there any way you can submit pictures of yourself to certain companies as a way to get noticed ?

by the way - regarding your future in modeling...i think you need to play your sexy look more than your tough look. lets face it - you have a large female and also gay following and that is because of your sexy look. also your chick is always going to VERY jealous of this stuff. i think one national CK add, open some gyms and commit to a significant other. stay in shape - but your bod then is for the sig other.
