People talk a lot about Rob...I admire Rob A LOT! But this video is dedicated to YOU! You have an awesome physique and train extremely hard! I admire you so much for your work and dedication! Makes me want to push myself harder and harder!
@jmcguire6783 I respect Rob, This video was the first year I ever competed, In August I won the Muscle Model Category World Championships which is a bigger fitness model, Fitness model was never going to be a place I won, My body always wanted to come in bigger and that hurt me
@mmlacerte I've had injuries as well, and that can really put a damper on success as well! But it looks like you are doing great! Shhh! I'm thinking about going into the same stuff later :) I train as hard as I can, but trying to focus on the form and technique, not the weight itself. Would love to get to your level and compete with you!!! Keep up the awesome work! I will keep looking forward to watching your videos every day!!!
@mmlacerte I am a fan of Rob as well as you, but I can't stand the people that come on this video and advocate for Rob. That's what his channel is for. More motivation to you tho i guess :) looking forward to this years competition! I have watched quite a few different people's videos of training and you are certainly one of the hardest working, good luck to you!
@mbsports05 Thank you so much.. It doesnt bother me. Rob has his fans that are loyal.. we are in different categories now.. Im about 25 lbs bigger on stage then him now..
@3L3CTR0static It was a open class 2 years ago.. so the pros rob, obi and I were mixed in with others.. Ryan is a amazing guy and trains his butt off, Never disrespect for anyone who steps on that stage..
@tricksta1965 getting ripped does not take a long time unless your over weight.. putting lots of muscle on and being ripped takes a very long time, i have trained now for 11 years
@mmlacerte C'mon son, you're forgetting a key thing in the equation of putting muscle on: Height.
Someone who is 6'+ is going to be waiting a long time to fill out his frame, but someone who is sub 6' isn't going to have to wait as long. The most muscle you can put on per month is 2lbs, meaning 24lbs on muscle in your first year of training (even though you'd have to have ridiculous genetics, flawless diet and regimen). Someone dedicated could put 30lbs of muscle on in 3 years easily.
@tricksta1965 12 weeks. of intense training, dieting, supplementation, ect. Most of all Determination, visit robriches.co.uk he will have alot of info for you
Tyler Davin before Tyler Mcpeack did grace the covers of Men's Workout and DNA magazine. Some men can combine both fitness as well runway modeling. Good luck to your new gym.
I hear you Micah. Maurice Townsell was on The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency but she closed her Miami office and decided possibly to move to New York she let go most of the models and Maurice was one of them. They are some fitness models who can make the transition, Tyler Davin is one of them since he went to fashion modeling he now goes by the name Tyler Mcpeak. Research him on the internet and you the difference he made in loosing his muscle size.
That was a great move for him.. he is a much stronger fashion guy then he was fitness model. You get into fitness side of things you have to have a long term idea of where you want to be at. You need products to sell when you hit covers.. You get the 2 working together and you do very very well. I opened a gym and a online training site and the fitness publication feeds to it. Great mixture for myself and many others in the industry
On Bravo Manhunt Jon Jonsson was the Icelandic born winner and Rob Williams the openly gay runner up. Paulo Rodriguez is the South African born he was in a Tyra Banks Show episode in 2006. Maybe Paulo left because male modeling is very highly competitive with only a few making a breakthrough and partial longevity think of Markus Schenkenberg, Tyson Beckford and Mark Vanderloo.
Mayena, this is Micah, i know the guys and keep in contact with a few of them, tate was a guy i actually went to college with he never pursued anything after the show, maurice has done quite a bit, he moved to la and was later on the show janice dickenson. The fashion side just liek the fitness side are very competitive, I prefered working out very hard and carrying more muscle rather then shirking to fit in designer clothes. paulo is now selling sports supplements and doing well
Micah Lacerte was on that Bravo series Manhunt in 2004. I don't what happened to the winner and runner up but the only former contestant who is having success is Matt Lanter who is doing mainly television acting.
I havnt heard about any of the other guys in a very long time. I knew Matt was doing well and from time to time i chat with paulo but he is no longer doing the modeling stuff. I knew I was more of a fitness model when i was on that show. It hurt me a ton
Thank you so much, as you know in comps there is a ton of politics involved but i was happy to be able to even compete this go around. I agree with you though the fitness lifestyle is much healthier and easier to maintain.
I was a heavy lifting, bigger is better bodybuilder for years, and got smart in '03 and made the switch to fitness training/look. I feel better, and needless to say, the girls love it much more! You look great dude, all the best!
also fitness models can run, jump, very athletic, many of the bodybuilders hyes they are huge but many cannot even run.. fitness models are far more appealing to women too.. thats enough for me to stay a fitness model :)
There is no weight restriction but being bigger hurts you.. Its judged on head to toe including face which in bodybuilding means nothing.. its who looks best on a cover of a magazine not who is the biggest.. Best fitness model going right now is greg plitt as far as success
Rob came in great shape.. my upper body was in decent shape it was my legs that were my strong point but im thinking legs were not apart of the judging..
you should have placed much higher than 8th. You're easily as good as Mr Riches. Your chest is bigger. His shoulders are slightly bulkier relative to his frame, but yours are more square. And your abs are more cut than his. You deserve a better placing.
what is that kid with the black karate pants there?

was your body type a ectomorph, endomorph, or mesomorph? I think the factors would vary right from there right?
