The Acne Curse

Pimples. Pustules. Blackheads. Cystic monsters. neutrogena-deep-clean-invigorating-foaming-scrub It seems ridiculous that these little lumps can cause so much anguish in people, yet they do. Men have the additional curse of generally having higher oil production as a result of higher testosterone levels. The best thing to do is to have a skincare regimen in place so that the bacteria that cause acne and excess oil are controlled.

The essential anti-acne skincare components are:...

How to negotiate with the photographer to agree on photo shoot terms

I’ll be the first to admit it, photographers are a IMG_4763taggedstrange breed. It is completely understandable why fitness models might find it frustrating to communicate with us. Many photographers only use the right side (the artistic and creative side) of their brain and often keep the left side (the well structured and organized side) turned off. The result is you may not get the photos you need, which is problematic particularly when you are paying for something you cannot use.

 

So, how do you (as a fitness talent and model) get what you need from us quirky photographers?

 

I think there are a few very simple steps which you can do upfront to ensure that you get the most out of each photo shoot.

One Week Prep for Photoshoot

A short while ago, I had the honor of workingJamin Thompson Powertec2 with Powertec Fitness
as a model for their 2011 ad campaign. It was one of the coolest
projects I’ve worked on this year FOR SURE and everyone on set was
great.


We
filmed a bunch of workout videos…did some video demonstrations…and took
a bunch of still shots for the catalog, poster, and website.


The
shoot lasted for about 10 hours but it was a great time. I REALLY had a
lot of fun even though I was CRAZY sore afterward from doing hundreds
of reps demonstrating how to use the equipment!

IN THE KITCHEN: “DAIRY: Is it REALLY necessary?”

I don’t know about all of you, but when I wamilks younger we always had milk or some sort of dairy in the house. “Milk is good for bones and teeth etc etc” mom used to say. Well, as I’ve gotten older and wiser, milk, at least in my opinion has been WORSE for my body than good for it. Milk and dairy from my experience has caused me bloating and sometimes an upset stomach, along with an unnecessary amount of sugar or “lactose.” I still am amazed when talking to someone when they tell me what they are eating during the day and they are drinking tons of milk, wondering why they aren’t dropping a significant amount more weight than they have been. People are often so misconstrued about milk and how we need it to fight osteoporosis and have strong healthy bones. HERE’S SOME NEWS. Asian countries, who drink little to NO milk at all, have less osteoporosis rates than Americans who drink a TON of milk. Amazed? Don’t be. Asian countries load up on their green veggies like Kale, packing a ton of calcium and other nutrients that are much better than the ol’ milk and dairy. So to keep it simple, try making small changes in regards to dairy products. Your body and gut will thank you in the long run.

Splitting Up Your Ab Routine

I think we can relate to getting in an awesomeAbs2 pump at the gym. Training those delts and tris. Nailing those legs. Hitting all those big body parts that look so good in the mirrors. Now, we all know the importance of abs, their structural relevance to our bodies, and the way they make us look. We also know that, oftentimes, by the end of our lift, we don't want to spend that 10 minutes doing crunches and twists. This may not be true for everyone, but it is for me. One can achieve stellar abs by just doing cardio and losing the pounds. However, to properly tighten the core and strengthen that midsection, you need to make sure to incorporate those many ab exercises we read about on a daily basis. My suggestion, is to super set abs between your exercises. It gives the athlete an opportunity to nail out his/her abdominals without saving it for the bitter end when it gets boring and tedious. So, try a leg press set and go right to hanging straight leg raises on a chin up bar. Or any exercise for that matter. By the end of your workout, you'll have completed everything and won't even remember that you did 10 sets of abs. You'll be ready to shower up and go pound that protein. Try it! You'll like it.
