Fitness models of men are a special category of people who do not have standard thin forms, but are not a pile of muscles and swollen veins. They have a athletic fit body, good proportions and generally do not repel the look.
What role do sports models play?
Men with a muscular physique do not walk on the catwalk with almost feminine grace in fashionable outfits. Often they advertise underwear, sports nutrition and clothing, gyms and everything that their perfect body can emphasize. It is with the help of muscles that they show how good a product is and what its purchase can lead to.
When agencies opt for a man’s fitness model, they primarily pay attention to external data. In addition, they look to ensure that the figure has a clear outline. Fitness models should carefully monitor their physical fitness and nutrition. Only daily training and many hours of visits to the halls give them the opportunity to be in demand. Of course, much depends on what external data they have. Among a number of models, there are those that stand out as leaders. They are very popular. Below are a few famous personalities.
Greg Plitt - Fitness Legend

He was called the No. 1 fitness trainer in the United States. For 4 years, he appeared on the covers of more than 200 magazines and 25 romance novels, starred in such famous action games as “Terminator. May the Savior Come ”,“ Downhole Rematch ”and“ False Temptation ”. He was the face of brands: Old Spice, PETA, MET-Rx, Dodge Ram Trucks, Gold's Gym and the perfume house of Thierry Mugler.

Greg Plitt also claimed that it is best to train in the morning. He woke up at 5:30 and began a daily set of exercises. It was at this time that the streets were deserted - nothing distracted from an important occupation. Food should contain as little carbohydrates as possible. For every kilogram of body weight, you need to consume 1.5 grams of protein per day. Unfortunately, on January 17, 2015, Plitt died under the train. At this time, he was working on advertising energy drinks and wanted to prove that with their help he can develop speed, like Superman.
