How Did Taylor Go From Scrawny To Brawny

Copyright (c) 2011 Joe Maldonado

We first saw him as the superhero Shark Boy and later as a love interest for Steve Martins daughter in Cheaper by the Dozen .His Career began in Grand Rapids Michigan as a world-class athlete. He won 3 gold medals at the World Karate Championships by age 12 and then came Twilight.

Although Taylor Lautner is not what anyone would call a strong guy he had landed a role that called for him to make a startling transformation in less than a year's time. This kid was no stranger to discipline and hard work. How else could he have become a champion.

To reprise his role as Jacob Black in the "Twilight Saga" he had to transform from a 5' 10" scrawny looking kid to a beefed up hunk who incidentally could become a very large wolf. To do this he had to add 30 pounds of pure muscle. He accomplished this goal with remarkable results.

His trainer, Jordan Yuam remarked that Taylor's lack of experience with bodybuilding might be what made the difference. The less you start with the easier and quicker it is to add on mass. Jordan Yuam owns Jordan's Virtual Fitness club and is a leader in his field.

Jordan believes in exploiting the person's own genetic potential to get maximum results. His strategy for Taylor Lautner began with his diet. Here is a brief look at how Taylor became the Werewolf/Jacob Black.

Strive beyond Your Limits
To get large the body has to become accustomed to more weight, says Yuam. With this in mind he would pile on 40 pounds more than the boy was capable of lifting 10 times. It did not matter since he would only be doing the lowering portion of the lift or press. This exercise was a way to tell the muscles they were needed and the muscle responded by growing to the occasion. This should be kept to a minimum of only 2-3 sets for five reps.

Variety in the Weight
Sometimes less is more and the body will respond better when you ply it with variety. This means if you are doing 3 sets 8-10 reps with 125 lbs then switch it up, more reps less weight. You will be amazed at the actual growth.

Finally there is tension. Adding tension to the weight lifting will cause more of the muscles to become engaged in the exercise. Tension bands can be purchased at most gyms or stores that sell gym equipment. They are also available at lots of places online. The tension makes takes the same weight to a whole other level.

Find your way to a workout that will give you the bulk you have always wanted. Taylor Lautner's complete workout can be found online as well as many others. Once you get started it will take a certain level of commitment and dedication. Plan to win by keeping a workout log so you do not duplicate exercises and risk overworking any muscle group.
