I will quickly share some short info and fun facts about Taylor Lautner before getting into the workout he used for New Moon.
Lautner is young at the ripe age of only 18, since he was born in 1992, on February 12th. When Hollywood got a hold of Lautner for filming his role in Twilight: New Moon he was only 17 years old. Lautner had a thing for martial arts and used to train this long before adding muscle for this movie. He got a few black belt wins just to name a few other credentials. He’s a young actor, but started at the ripe age of 9 with classes.
The Director didn’t see Taylor Lautner as the natural choice for Jacob Black initially, but he changed his mind.
The problem was that he wasn’t muscular enough to become the warewolf role they had in mind. He was well suited for other parts of the film, but he needed more muscle to impose credibility to the audience.
Taylor had to quickly add serious amounts of muscle to his small frame, fast in order not to get kicked off his role.
But as we all see Taylor Lautner gained serious amounts of muscle before his role for New Moon as the warewolf Jacob Black. He made it… The sequel Eclipse is also out, but the interesting part of the Taylor Lautner workout routine was for the movie New Moon.
With the movie geared at girls and mostly all of them falling in love with his ripped abs and shredded muscle Taylor’s workout is probably one of the most sought after workout plans in hollywood, and will be for a long time. What you have to understand about Taylor Lautners routine is that he was slim to start off with and was going to have to do serious muscle building program to even get and keep the role…
He managed to gain an impressive 30 lbs of muscle in one year!
Since Lautner is a young guy in his 20’s he hadn’d yet maxed out his potential muscle gain and would still get “genetic benefit” from his young age. The age is a serious factor in release of testosterone and other “muscle growth” hormones.
He needed to lift for muscle GAIN, rather than fat loss, but the question remains…
What needs to be done isn’t the most complicated part of looking like Taylor Lautner. We all know that you need to train with weights and do your cardio as well as plan out a healthy diet. That’s nothing new, but what exactly did he do? If we look closer to Taylor Lautner’s training program we find that he had a special muscle building routine and diet.
The diet is extremely important when gaining or losing weight. Muscle for gaining and fat for losing.
How did he manage to gain 30 lbs of lean muscle in such short period of time? And more specifically, how can YOU do the same?
1. By eating EXCESS calories he was able to fuel the muscles with the extra calories and protein needed for muscle growth.
2. Between every “large meal” he probably ate a protein shake, protein snack and cottage cheese or slow acting protein right before bed.
Breakfast: Egg whites, a few whole eggs, and some oatmeal. With some orange juice.
Lunch: Albacore tuna or chicken with veggies and brown rice. You can replace those with turkey or ground beef.
Dinner: Broiled fish or chicken, brown rice, vegetables, and a salad.
This is an awesome muscle building diet… It is clean and well made.
From other sources I hear that this was what he was doing, more specifically…
Taylor has put out in an interview that he likes to begin his workouts with a light warm up, usually by running on the treadmill. He likes to use a lot of compound and body weight exercises such as push-ups, squats, dips, pull-ups, and lunges.
Do you want to know the secret to getting those lean ripped six pack abs Jacob Black shows in his warewolf persona? Well, here’s the trick!
You need to have a really strong core, ie, big and tight abdominal muscles, as well as low body fat in order for them to show beneath the fat. With a background in martial arts the ab strength was already there, but if you don’t have it, here’s a video I made that will show you how to build your strength up:
Even though this sounds like a good workout there are great ways to look like Taylor Lautner if you are skinny now and need to add some mass. I’ve got 2 recommendations with emphasis on Visual Impact Muscle Building, the program I am currently working with!
