- Good afternoon, gentlemen.
I'm Ollie, it's Make Me That Guy.
And today's video is The Basics of the Model Physique,
the Model Body.
I'm also a professional model,
and thus I train my ass off to stay in shape.
Okay, these are the seven easy simple tips
which guys like me abide by religiously
to make sure they're in shape,
and thus this is the tricks of the model physique.
All right, number one.
Okay, number one is to stick to a low carbohydrate diet.
Google paleolithic diet.
It's a caveman diet.
It means if you can't pull it out of the ground,
like a vegetable, you can't hunt it, like an animal,
you can't fish it or you can't take it off a tree
or forage it, nuts and fruits, you can't eat it.
So paleolithic diet, basically the caveman diet.
Eat like a caveman.
If everything is natural,
you cut out all the unnatural crap, you will stay slimmer,
and your metabolism will work for you.
Paleolithic diet, number one.
Number two is to ignore conventional meal times.
If you wake up and you have a massive breakfast,
okay fair enough.
The breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
For me, it's not.
I wake up, I have a glass of water,
a coffee, and a very small snack.
I might get more hungry and have another snack mid-morning.
I eat when I'm hungry.
Always small portions and usually high in protein,
and low carbs again, following that paleolithic model.
So eat when you're hungry, not when you're meant to,
and especially in the evenings.
That brings me onto our next point, number three.
The times when you eat are very important.
So do not eat in the evening, especially not carbohydrates.
Try to eat less in the evening.
So give yourself a cutoff point.
No more food after eight o'clock at night.
It's when you sit in front of the TV eating carbs,
that's when you pile on the pounds.
So have your last meal of the day early
and try to hack it, grin and bear it,
until the next morning when you're gonna be super hungry.
The evening is the most dormant time.
Night time, your body is burning no calories at all
and will store all of that into that belly you wanna lose.
Number four, is to plan
when you're gonna take on your carbs.
If you hit the gym every day,
then the best time is to eat your carbs
directly before the gym.
You're gonna burn that off,
and it's gonna maximize your workout.
Whereas if you eat a load of carbs at nighttime,
like I said just now, you're gonna store that.
Or if you've got a long day ahead of you,
then you might think, you know what?
I'll have a decent breakfast this morning,
and then genuinely wind my carbs down as it's ending.
So plan your carbohydrate intake
for when your body most needs the energy,
not when your mind most desires to pig out and watch TV.
Okay, another great tip, number five,
is to plan your carbohydrate sources.
If you're trying to keep to a low carb diet,
you are much more likely to mess up and pig out
and eat a load of shit and bread and cakes and biscuits
if you have the wrong stuff around you at home.
So one, keep your house barren.
We want it to be a spartan diet.
No good stuff in there.
If I have a cake in my house, I will mess up,
and I will eat that whole motherfucker
at one in the morning or some ridiculous time
because I'm craving carbs and sugar and all the good stuff.
I have to punish myself, not eating.
So the best way to plan your carb intake
is to say, cook up a vat,
a massive great big cauldron full of brown rice
at the start of the week and then simply take out
small portions when you need it
to support your meal plan throughout the week.
So cook up carb sources in advance
and make sure none of that good stuff is around you,
so you don't get tempted.
Other good carb sources, sweet potatoes,
general beans, stuff like this.
Cook them in bulk.
Then when you need those carbs,
you can simply add a little bit
to your protein, and you're good.
And it's gonna take the edge off that craving
for all the bad stuff and those bad simple carbs.
Okay, our next point is legs.
You wanna lose weight,
you wanna stay ripped, work your legs.
A lot of guys neglect that.
They're like, I wanna get buffed
and get a big, good upper body.
Work legs, they're gonna burn the most fat,
squats, especially, and dead lifts.
That is gonna burn calories.
It's also very close to your abdomen,
and thus has a great effect on losing belly fat.
We've got another great video which we're gonna flash up now
on how to lose those love handles,
the stubborn back bits, so check that one out.
But definitely concentrate on working legs
and big compound movements like squats,
power cleans, and dead lifts.
Our final point, number seven,
is about abdominal muscles, abs, right?
All models have good abs, right?
Good models have good abs,
especially guys who are a bit fitness model-y like myself.
All right, check that picture out.
I worked like a motherfucker for that, I'm telling ya.
The key to abs is all of the points I've just put together
done to an extreme and plus your workouts.
So check out this ab video we made recently
which shows my super sets which I use to make sure
the abs are toned, popping off, and on point.
And that is a combination of all the other factors
we've been through plus a decent workout.
So check out the video and watch that.
So that is how I get that model, sleek, ripped, toned body.
It's punishing, and you've got to stick with it.
Remember, the key to the gym
is consistency above everything.
And another great slogan is abs are made in the kitchen.
Legends are made in the gym.
It's the church of gains, it's the gym.
It's the model body.
