Ryan Terry is the first British athlete in the Men's Physique category

The young British bodybuilder and fitness model, Ryan Terry, whose Instagram now has over one million followers, will celebrate his 30th anniversary this year. Ryan Terry, whose anthropometric data causes real delight among his fans and bodybuilding professionals, is actively gaining popularity on the Internet. His training programs are in incredible demand because they are aimed at people with different physical fitness levels, from beginners who are just getting acquainted with fitness aesthetics to experts in this field. The British athlete has repeatedly won various competitions in the Men's Physique categories, and is also a multiple winner of pro tournaments, won the Arnold Classic competition and took second position at Olympia. Most of his fans have no doubt that the young Briton will be a triumph at the next Olympia.

It seems like you two grew up to be little rivals. Does this apply to the gym?

Owen: There's a little bit of competition at times, which we think is good. It helps us push each other to achieve our goals. When representing a twin brand, we both need to look very similar; such is the brand. Therefore, we need the same workout plan and the same diet throughout the year to maintain our shape and look similar to each other.

Lewis: The rivalry between us comes up when we train together. This attitude: “I won’t let my brother defeat me,” comes from our youth.

I remember back in school, Owen always ran the 100m in competitions for our school; he was considered the fastest boy of our age at that time. I always avoided the 100m and ran the 400m for our school. Last year I wanted to run the 100m. I'm tired of the 400m. I beat Owen in the 100m by 5 milliseconds, which drove him crazy. As you can see, this little rivalry has been present in training since we were young teenagers and is present in our weight training today.

There is nothing wrong. It's always good when someone stimulates you.

How did you get started in bodybuilding?

Owen: We were both born in a small town called Kendal, England. As boys we were always involved in sports, so I guess you could say we were born to do it.

Lewis: We didn't really get along with each other when we were younger, we always fought like brothers, you know? We played together for the same football teams here in the UK at a high professional level.

We played in different positions and always shouted at each other during the match if one of us made a mistake or did something wrong. After finishing school, I continued to play football professionally, although I felt that my life’s passion lay elsewhere. When my contract with the club ended, I started individual training.

Owen: I left school and joined the Royal Marines, one of the best military units in the world. At the age of 17, I completed the toughest military course in the world.

I left the infantry in 2012 after serving for four years and then became an individual instructor. We transitioned into fitness modeling three years ago after doing our first photo shoot together. Shortly after our first session, Muscle and Fitness contacted us to see if we would be interested in filming for them under our own unique brand. Since then we have been featured in national newspapers, celebrity magazines, fitness websites and even more fitness magazines in the UK and around the globe.

Lewis: Building the Harrison Twin brand wasn't easy, but we worked our butts off to get to where we are today in the industry.

Movies

Geri moves to Los Angeles, where he finds a permanent job. She made her screen debut in the television series “Who’s the Boss?”, then she appeared in short roles in the films “Melrose Place”, “Matlock”, “The Sentinel”, etc. She took part in television shows.

Ryan received his first significant role in 1996 in the TV series “Dark Skies”, where he plays the alien Juliet Stewart. According to the plot, inhabitants from other planets live together with people. The action takes place in the 60s of the last century. After the release of the 1st season, the creators decide to close the project, and the ending remained undisclosed.

Jeri Ryan as Juliet Stewart (still from Star Trek: Voyager)

In 1997, the actress received an important role in her career - Seven of Nine in the science fiction series Star Trek: Voyager. This is already the 4th season of the legendary film. Jeri Ryan plays a representative of the Borg race, who in the very end becomes a human Annika Hansen.

Jeri Ryan and Kate Mulgrew (still from Star Trek: Voyager)

Mulgrew believed that with the addition of Ryan's character, the writers' attention from the storyline switched from her to Jeri's appearance. The actresses often starred together on camera

Geri later said that it was difficult for her and if there was an opportunity, Kate Mulgrew would generally avoid even looking at her partner. The tension eased only after Geri began dating series producer Brannon Braga.

Jeri Ryan (still from the TV series “Body Investigation”)

After the space adventures of Voyager, Geri was invited to the series Boston School in 2001. Producer David Kelly writes the role of Ronnie Cook, who gets a job as a teacher, specifically for Ryan.

The actress is becoming in demand and is filming a lot. She participates in such popular TV series as “Two and a Half Men”, “Shark”, “Body Investigation”, “Warehouse 13”, “Spiral”, “Bosch”. In addition, her filmography includes the films “Dracula”, “Fuck Love!”, “Mortal Kombat: Rebirth”.

Petsch quickly found an agent who immediately assigned her to the annual Coca-Cola advertisement. This happened in 2014. Madeline’s manager considered that appearing in a commercial for a famous brand was a good decision, since in this case the aspiring actress would be seen by the largest possible audience, which means there was a chance to show herself off to the big bosses from the world of cinema and television.

This is partly what happened - already in 2015, Madeline appeared in the episodic role of a mermaid in the family comedy series “Stepmom” with Tia Mowry and Michael Botman.

The series was followed by a debut in feature films - Petsch starred in the fantastic horror film "The Swarm" by David Yarovsky, a director who had previously only directed short films. In the story, a plane carrying a dangerous virus that can affect people’s brains crashes near a children’s summer camp. Yarovsky wanted to make a film in the spirit of George Romero's Mad Men and Philip Kaufman's Invasion of the Body Snatchers. And he succeeded.

Madelaine Petsch in The Curse of Sleeping Beauty

The next film with the participation of the young actress was also shot in the horror genre, but this time the focus shifted from the fantastic subgenre to fantasy. The new film was called “The Curse of Sleeping Beauty.” The director was Theo Pirri (Generation Generation, Necromancy, Witchville: City of Witches), and among the actors you could see Ethan Peck, Natalie Holly and Bruce Davison. The film was released in 2016.

Madelaine Petsch in the series "Riverdale"

After the release of Theo Pirri's horror film, Madeline received an offer to star in the TV series Riverdale. At first the girl wanted to refuse, but after figuring out what kind of project it was, she changed her mind.

Essentially, Riverdale is a film adaptation of a comic book line about a guy named Archie and his friends living in the town of Riverdale. These comics began to appear back in the forties of the last century, so over their long journey, the style and genres have changed more than once. So, during one of the experiments, a separate line of comics appeared, telling the story of Sabrina Spellman. These comics were later adapted into the TV series Sabrina the Teenage Witch starring Melissa Joan Hart.

Madelaine Petsch and Cole Sprouse

There were other film adaptations dedicated directly to Archie, but they were released as an animated series. It was decided to film the new project with real, not cartoon actors. The role of Archie Andrews is played by KJ Apa, Betty Cooper by Lili Reinhart, Jughead Jones by Cole Sprouse, Veronica Lodge by Camilla Mendes, and Cheryl Blossom by Madelaine Petsch.

This photo reminds me a little of the movie Mad Max: Fury Road starring Tom Hardy. Every time I watch it, I am delighted with absolutely everything in this masterpiece of modern cinema. The plot is so captivating that you can’t take your eyes off it, and the action simply doesn’t let you exhale or take a breath. You find yourself in a shocking world of the post-apocalyptic period, which exists according to its own rules. According to the rules that you must understand and accept in order to be completely immersed in the atmosphere of what is happening. If I describe the visual component of the film, then I simply do not have enough words to describe how brilliant it is in terms of effects and compositional shots. Every detail in Fury Road is a delight for the imagination. I don’t even want to talk about the acting, because the main cast includes such masters of their craft, whose names are already a guarantee of quality, and under the leadership of director George Miller, each of their characters is simply ingrained in the memory. Crap. I didn’t notice how the post turned into a mini-review. In general, I advise you to watch this film!)

Obviously, when engaging in fitness, people pursue different goals. But there is one thing that all who train hard have in common - the drive to develop a body that is as functional as it is beautiful. IFBB Men's Physique pro Ryan Terry has made this principle the core of his training, and it gives him an edge both on stage and as a fitness model. After he stopped modeling in 2012 (Terry advertised for Calvin Klein underwear, but his workout style didn't give him the look that modeling agencies were looking for), he devoted himself to preparing for stage performances. In 2013, Ryan Terry competed in his first Men's Physique competition. That same year he became the overall champion of the Arnold Classic Europe and the British Championship, thus receiving a professional card.

“I’ve gained about 20 pounds in the last five years,” says Ryan. “I have a good base. In my youth, I did gymnastics, swimming, football, and when I took up the iron, my body responded well to it.”

By 2015, the figure Ryan Terry brought to the stage became bigger and more defined, and the judges took notice. He won the Pittsburgh Pro and Eastern Seaboard Pro, as well as a respectable fourth place finish at the 2015 Olympia. While preparing for the Miami and Pittsburgh shows, Terry experimented with his training in a quest to get a deeper muscle cut without sacrificing at the same time aesthetics. One of the methods he used was replacing monotonous cardio with ultra-intense, hour-long full-body workouts on Sundays.

While the idea of ​​increasing cardio volume or intensity makes many competitive beachgoers afraid of burning muscle instead of fat, it clearly works for Ryan Terry.

“I still do my usual bodybuilding workouts and cardio during the week, but Sunday's workout gives me something extra,” explains Terry. “In addition, this activity allows you to break the monotony of training. Competition training can be quite boring and doing something different helps me stay motivated. This is a great way to add variety to my fat loss program."

Age: 26 years old.
Height: 178 cm. Weight: 85 kg. How did you get into bodybuilding?

I started bodybuilding to gain more self-confidence and generally improve my overall health. I got into the fitness world at a very young age when my stepdad had an old school iron gym called Spit and Saw Dust.

“The moment I first entered the hall, I realized - this is what I have to do! Where does your motivation come from?

Growing up, I took part in all sorts of sporting events that were competitive. I really love challenging myself and working to the limit in any form of sport, and in everyday life I try to get the most out of myself. So it's all about competition. I find this very inspiring and I see myself and my great goals in this.


“I also Love Watching My Body Get Better with Hard Work in the Gym and Discipline in the Kitchen.”

If you were asked to choose only 3 exercises, which ones would you choose and why?

Wide-grip pull-ups - this exercise works great for the core muscles of the back, and the biceps work just as well in this exercise. In order to perform this exercise correctly, you must have well-developed core muscles, which in turn will allow you to pull yourself up without swaying. Squats primarily work the quadriceps, but they are also great for working the legs in general. Shoulder press - develops strength well, and perfectly engages all three shoulder bundles.

Below is the diet I generally follow all year round. Based on this diet, I can slightly adjust it when preparing for a competition or a photo shoot.

Daily diet:

1st Meal (I cook like a pancake: dry oatmeal, 40 g blueberries, 15 g almond flakes, 10 egg whites, 1 teaspoon flaxseed powder, 1 teaspoon coconut oil.

When trying to achieve maximum definition and burn fat, do you prefer to use Hiit workouts or stick to regular cardio?

I've experienced both during my diet. And I have to admit, while I love high-intensity cardio, I have found a better option for fat loss in the form of low-intensity (Liss) cardio.

In addition, I realized that my level of activity and well-being can be low immediately before a competition if I practice high-intensity cardio in preparation for it.

Who are your idols and sources of inspiration?

Flex Lewis is my all-time idol. He not only achieved great results on stage, but also off it. In his personal life, he has found the perfect balance between his family and bodybuilding. I also think that his physique is ideal and worthy of world class. His aesthetic is inspiring! What's your favorite saying? “Failure to Prepare means Failure in Life”

Ryan talks about Riches, saying that “He has a very attainable physique. It has aesthetic looks and is not at all about getting big. He has a great mid-section.”

As seen from Ryan's shape, we can see that his physique is based around the aesthetic bodybuilders of today such as Rob Riches, Greg Plitt and Shaun Stafford.

Biography

Building Inner Strength

Like so many of us, Ryan Terry at the age of 14 first started going to the gym to build his confidence. After many years of hard work, Ryan's progress was starting to show. Things started to get serious when he took the step and decided to compete in his first bodybuilding competition. At this time he was working as a plumber and modeling part time, but Ryan felt that this was the right way to go.

“I started training for fitness and to gain in confidence. I kept getting aggressive, set new goals and that's how I started competing. I actually started as a model and moved on to bodybuilding.”

Things soon started to change when Ryan won the Mr Great Britain pageant in 2010 at the age of 21. His conditioning was at his best so he decided to represent Great Britain again in the Mr International competition in Indonesia. Ryan came away with a 1st beating his competitors from over 40 nations around the globe, he also came away with the Best Body Award.

Step It Up A Gear

Calls soon started to jam up his phone line as the UK plumber turned fitness model was being hounded to represent leading nutrition and fitness brands. This is where Ryan knew that he needed to step it up a notch, and focus on competitive bodybuilding as a career full time.

In April 2013 at UK Nationals as he secured first place and was crowned the UKBFF National Champion. The very same year Ryan became the European Arnold Classic Men's Physique Champion.

Ryan Terry personal life

Although I am originally from London, I grew up in the USA from an early age. I traveled a lot around the country, it was not easy to find my way, to understand what I want to achieve in my life. Everything changed when I returned to London and started training in the gym. There, watching others, I gradually learned new things and put them into practice.

I still train in the same gym where I entered the top nine “stone guys” in 2009. Since I competed at BodyPower in April 2013, my aspirations and enthusiasm to be part of the fitness industry have found a new direction as my energy has increased and my motivation has increased.

I realized that I could share my experience and demonstrate how, through commitment and determination, anyone can dramatically improve their level and change their outlook on life.

Ryan calls bodybuilder Flex Lewis his hero and all-time idol. According to Terry, his idol not only has a great work ethic on stage, but also off it. In addition, Lewis also managed to find the optimal balance between his competitions, family life and bodybuilding.

True, his heart has not been free for a long time. Ryan Terry and his girlfriend Emily have been dating for quite a long time; they go to the gym together, travel often, and regularly post romantic pictures together online. However, for some reason the bodybuilder is in no hurry to propose marriage to his chosen one. Today, Terry lives in London, where the guy continues to train diligently every day.

Ryan Terry, biography

The future athlete and bodybuilder was born in the small town of Worksop, in the county of Nottinghamshire, in Foggy Albion, in 1988, on November 17th. From early childhood, Ryan was a very active and restless child, he always showed a keen interest in sports. During his school years, he willingly participated in gymnastics, football, swam well, and even enjoyed playing golf. As the athlete later recalled in one of his interviews, even in those young years he accumulated a lot of various awards, cups and medals for regular victories in various competitions among juniors. Note that Terry was raised by his mother and stepfather, who ran his own old-style gym for bodybuilding. The guy admits that even in his youth, when he saw these trainings with his own eyes, he realized that he also wanted to improve his body and was ready to devote his whole life to this. The boy began his first training in bodybuilding when he was barely 14 years old, and from the age of 15 Ryan began to engage in this systematically and professionally. According to the young man, the main source of motivation for him has always been high competition in competitions, because he strived to surpass everyone and become the best.

Also, a significant role in his active self-improvement was played by the numerous complexes that haunted the boy in his youth, and, of course, the desire to please the opposite sex. Ryan Terry, whose height, weight is 177 centimeters and 88 kilograms, has the following body parameters: chest volume - 129 centimeters, waist circumference - 75 centimeters, biceps circumference - 43 centimeters. The young athlete was delighted when he realized that his body responded quite easily to physical activity and changed, acquiring beautiful relief contours. Soon Ryan begins to earn extra money as a fitness model, and receives many tempting offers with substantial fees. He is one of those bright representatives of modern bodybuilding culture who, thanks to their systematic training and outstanding successes, practically never leave the covers of various popular glossy publications, and also advertise clothes, accessories, and always willingly agree to interviews. In particular, Ryan advertised a line of underwear from the Calvin Klein brand. In 2010, the 22-year-old guy performed on the professional stage for the first time and won the prestigious title “Mr. Great Britain” and then “Mr. International”. And this was just the beginning, some modeling competitions, where physical fitness was assessed to a greater extent. After that, he decided to take a short break from the competition and get serious about himself.

Two years later, the young man returned to the professional arena, performing at the British National Competitions where he managed to win a landslide victory. A few months later, he took part in the amateur competitive tournament "Arnold ClassicEuropa", where he took first place and also received a PRO card. Let's add that Ryan thus became the first professional in the field of “Men'sPhysique” from the UK. The next year turned out to be even more successful for the young Briton, because he managed to win two prestigious competitions at once: “IFBB PittsburghPro”, as well as “IFBB AtlantaPro”. As a result, Terry received qualifications and the opportunity to participate in the most prestigious tournament, Mr. Olympia, however, he only managed to take fourth position, which, in general, is also not bad at all. In 2017, at the next Olympia, the Briton almost took first place. The young man was separated from his cherished dream and the title “Mr. Olympia” by just two points.

By 2015, the figure Ryan Terry brought to the stage became bigger and more defined, and the judges took notice. He won the Pittsburgh Pro and Eastern Seaboard Pro and finished a respectable fourth at the 2015 Olympia.

While preparing for shows in Miami and Pittsburgh, Terry experimented with his workouts in an effort to get deeper muscle definition without sacrificing aesthetics.

One of the methods he used was replacing monotonous cardio with ultra-intense, hour-long full-body workouts on Sundays.

While the idea of ​​increasing cardio volume or intensity makes many competitive beachgoers afraid of burning muscle instead of fat, it clearly works for Ryan Terry.

“I still do my usual bodybuilding workouts and cardio during the week, but Sunday's workout gives me something extra,” explains Terry.

“In addition, this activity allows you to break the monotony of training. Competition training can be quite boring and doing something different helps me stay motivated.

This is a great way to add variety to my fat loss program."

Ryan Terry's Full Body Fat Loss Program

Ryan Terry's full body workout is a combination of standard bodybuilding exercises (barbell curls), old-school bodyweight exercises (pull-ups), metabolism-boosting moves (tire flips), and strongman exercises. (barrel lifts) and even from CrossFit (lunges with a barbell overhead).

“This is functional training that will strengthen your core and shock your body,” says Ryan Terry.

If at first this workout seems difficult to you, then you made the right choice. “It was unusual for me, it was hard, but after 3-4 times I began to notice improvements,” notes Terry.

ATTENTION: You have to fight! Don't let yourself give up when you're huffing and puffing and you can barely complete the required reps.

This is not hypertrophy training. Sets are performed to failure with the goal of keeping your heart rate high while working your entire body. This will help increase muscle endurance and, if you eat the right diet, will give you more definition. Use moderate weights and precise movement technique. Maximum rest between sets is 30-60 seconds.

Wide and narrow grip pull-ups:

3 sets to failure in each option.

Ryan Terry says, “Focus on keeping your body as straight as possible and keeping your lats out to the sides during wide-grip pull-ups. Consistent muscle contraction is much more important than the number of repetitions performed.

Use a belt with a chain and additional weights to increase the load. It's a good idea to have someone help you when you add weight. At the end, concentrate on the form of the exercise.”

Overhead barrel press:

4 sets to failure.

Ryan Terry says: “If the gym doesn't have a barrel, use a barbell. Lift the weight from the floor, press it overhead, and then lower it back to the floor. By doing this, and not just doing the bench press, you will work, incl. and core muscles. If you do everything right, by the end of the set your shoulders will just fall off.”

Biceps curl with barbell.

Warm-up set for 15-20 repetitions, then 3 working sets of 10-12 repetitions, the final set is performed with a drop set until complete failure.

Ryan Terry says: “I bet most beachgoers want bigger arms. I know this from myself, and that’s why I included this exercise in this program. Keep your back straight, your elbows firmly pressed to your sides, and the downward movement of the barbell slow to prevent swaying.”

Ring push-ups.

4 sets to failure.

Ryan Terry says: “An unstable position on the rings makes push-ups much more difficult. This is difficult, but works the triceps perfectly. Keep your entire core engaged to keep the rings in position. If you don’t have rings in your gym, then do push-ups on parallel bars or a machine, or improvise and do bench presses.”

Lunges with a barbell overhead.

4*10 each leg.

Ryan Terry advises: “This exercise works the entire body and increases core strength. The importance of proper technique cannot be overemphasized in this case. Don't try to use heavy weights.

Lift the barbell off the floor, press it overhead, then lower it to the trapezius. Extend your grip slightly and press the barbell overhead again. Do 10 lunges with each leg, keeping your arms fixed in one position. The head should be kept straight, you need to look forward so as not to strain your neck.”

Hanging twists on the bar.

4*10-12 on each side.

Ryan Terry advises: “Focus on working your obliques and core, keeping your upper body straight as you lift your legs to one side. Then pause and twist in the other direction. Lower your legs and repeat the movement again."

Tire flipping.

4*60 seconds.

Ryan Terry says: “The tire roll is a good finishing exercise that works every muscle in the body, making it an excellent option for fat loss.

People who have never done this exercise usually, after trying it, deviate from the tire when lifting.

But the key is to stay close to the tire, performing a movement similar to a sumo deadlift (with a wide stance) with your toes pointed outward without arching your back - this is how you want to lift the tire."

Obviously, when engaging in fitness, people pursue different goals. But there is one thing that all who train hard have in common - the drive to develop a body that is as functional as it is beautiful. IFBB Men's Physique pro Ryan Terry has made this principle the core of his training, and it gives him an edge both on stage and as a fitness model.

After he stopped modeling in 2012 (Terry advertised for Calvin Klein underwear, but his workout style didn't give him the look that modeling agencies were looking for), he devoted himself to preparing for stage performances. In 2013, Ryan Terry competed in his first Men's Physique competition. That same year he became the overall champion of the Arnold Classic Europe and the British Championship, thus receiving a professional card.

“I’ve gained about 20 pounds in the last five years,” Ryan says. “I have a good base. In my youth, I did gymnastics, swimming, football, and when I took up the iron, my body responded well to it.”

While the idea of ​​increasing cardio volume or intensity makes many competitive beachgoers afraid of burning muscle instead of fat, it clearly works for Ryan Terry.

“I still do my usual bodybuilding workouts and cardio during the week, but Sunday's workout gives me something extra,” explains Terry. “In addition, this activity allows you to break the monotony of training. Competition training can be quite boring and doing something different helps me stay motivated. This is a great way to add variety to my fat loss program."

The complex includes:

  • multi-joint techniques;
  • old school bodyweight;
  • strongman and crossfit practices: barrel lifts, lunges with a barbell at the top, exercise with tires.

The athlete trains in an active mode, without fear of “burning” muscles. He believes that this is the only way to develop endurance and have an ideal body. Tip for newbies:

“Experimentally determine for yourself which exercises work best and stick to consistency in your training and nutrition.”

If you had to choose only three exercises, which would you choose and why?

  1. Wide Grip Pull-Ups – This exercise will do a great job of activating the primary muscles, which are the back muscles, but it will also target the secondary muscles (biceps). In order to perform this exercise correctly, you need to have a lot of core strength to prevent swaying, etc.
  2. Squats – Squats focus primarily on the quadriceps muscles, but they are also a well-rounded leg exercise.
  3. Shoulder Press – An excellent general strength exercise that also targets all three shoulder muscles.

Ryan Terry is a bodybuilder. Rising star Ryan Terry

I started getting into bodybuilding to increase my self-confidence and improve my overall health. And I got there at a very young age, and my dad at that time owned an old school bodybuilding gym.

Growing up, I took part in a lot of sporting events that were very competitive. I had to push myself to my absolute limits in sports and in everyday life, so there was a competing goal for me to work towards that goal. I also loved seeing how my body could change and improve over time with hard work in the gym and discipline in my diet.

Three main benefits:

  1. Wide girth pull-up - to activate your primary muscles, which are the back muscles, but the secondary muscles (biceps) will also increase. In order to perform the exercise correctly you will need to have a lot of strength to prevent swinging etc.
  2. Squats – While primarily focusing on the quadriceps, squats are also an all-around great leg exercise.
  3. Shoulder Press – A great overall muscle workout and it also develops all the muscles in your shoulders.

My diet that I follow all year round, in which I can stay relatively lean and at the same time I only need to change a few things to be ready for a photo shoot or to be ready for competition:

  • Meal 1: Oats – 120g, Blueberries – 30g, Almonds – 10g and 30g whey protein
  • Meal 2: 3 eggs and 2 slices of wheat bread
  • Meal 3: tuna fillet, 300 g white potatoes and fresh vegetable salad
  • Meal 4: Chicken breast – 200g and 80g dry white rice
  • Meal 5: Steak – 300g and 200g sweet potatoes mixed with vegetables
  • Meal 6: 200 g – salmon and salad

I've tried a lot of dieting methods, and I have to admit that although I love HITT cardio, I've found that I can control my fat loss through LISS a little easier.

I take a variety of supplements, but the majority of my intake is focused on BCAAs and glutamine. I just want to protect my muscles at all costs during training so that I can use my fat stores as my source of energy.

Diet

Ryan follows this system all year round. It allows you to stay at the same weight and have a lean figure that looks impressive in photos from different angles.

  1. Oatmeal + berries + 30 g almonds + protein.
  2. 3 eggs with bread.
  3. Fish or poultry fillet + potatoes + salad.
  4. Chicken with brown rice.
  5. Steak + side dish, avocado.
  6. Salmon + vegetable or asparagus stew.

“I protect my muscles from destruction at all costs and use sports nutrition for this.”

Terry takes sports supplements with an emphasis on BCAAs and glutamine.

Today he is preparing for the annual Olympia and continues to polish his muscles, matching the figure of his idol Flex Lewis.

When cutting, do you use HIIT or just normal cardio?

I tried these two methods when I was on a diet, and I have to admit, although I love HIIT cardio, I found that I was able to control my fat loss through LISS a little easier.

Additionally, I found that my energy level before the competition was quite low, so the high load would be too much for me.

Who are your heroes and sources of inspiration?

Flex Lewis is my all-time hero. Not only does he have a great work ethic on and off stage, he has also found a great balance between his family life and bodybuilding/competition.

Where did you get your motivation from?

Growing up, I participated in many activities and sports that were highly competitive. I also pushed myself to my absolute limits in sports and everyday life, so for me being competitive was the biggest goal that helped me move forward.

I also love seeing how my body can change and improve after long and hard work in the gym and subsequently good discipline in the kitchen
