How did Taylor Lautner get ripped? He did it simply by having a good diet and the right workout plan.?
The second Twilight movie was going to see Taylor replaced with another actor unless he could bulk up enough. He had 9 months to build more muscle before the new movie. As you now know, he managed it with flying colors, putting on 30 pounds of pure muscle and looking exceptional.?
When asked in interviews about his journey from scrawny to ripped, Taylor claimed that working out was easy. It was eating correctly that he found hard. He had to eat a meal every 2 hours and the meals were quite large. For example, he would have 6 egg whites, bacon and toast for breakfast.?
Jordan Yuam - Taylors Personal Trainer?
As you may know Taylor had Jordan Yaum as his personal trainer. In an interval Jordan told how the diet Taylor followed was created specifically for him. He explained that Taylor was a 'hardgainer' which means he was somebody who had trouble putting on weight, so it was designed to do just this and not worry about losing fat.?
During an interval for 'Mens Health Magazine' Jordan went through some of Taylor's workout routines. Here are some tips from that interview.?
Pushing Yourself To Your limits?
If you want to get big and strong you need your body to get used to big loads. Yuam says that he had Taylor get used to a heavier weight than he was used to, stacking a bar with 40% more of Lautner's normal 10 lift set to get his muscles used to bigger weight. For example if you can lift 12 pounds 10 times then use 170 pounds. Then, using a spotter, perform only the lowering half of lifts. Your spotter must be strong enough to be able to lift the 170 pound weight back up to the rack by himself, as you should not assist beyond the lower half of the lift. With this technique your body adapts to the new weight before you actually are able to lift it yourself. Make sure you limit this "taste" of this excess weight to just 2-3 sets and 5 reps only every other week - this should not be an every day thing.?
Adjust Your Volume?
It isn't always the right approach to just go with heavy weights. Taylor would regularly mix up his routines by doing different amounts of reps at different weights. You really need to do these variations if you want to have a truly balanced-looking body. The more your muscles are forced to adapt to a new routine, the more they grow. Instead of always doing 3 sets of 8 to 10 reps, for example, occasionally reduce the weight and shoot for 4 sets of 15 reps. In fact this is a known method that works very well, recent research in the journal of strength and conditioning concluded that men who follow this routine will increase their leg press strength by 43% while increasing their bench strength by 28%.
Taylor Lautner has great muscle definition, almost as if his skin was 'Shrink Wrapped' around his muscles. This was not covered in the interview because it was by a complete accident.
