For a 1st of March treat we thought we’d give you a brief snapshot into the training regime and 2011 transformation of one of our excellent personal trainers, Tyrone London.
Standing over 6 foot, weighing nearly 100kg at 8% body fat, Tyone is well known in The City of London as a top notch personal trainer who not only gets great results with his clients but walks the walk when it comes to his own training and diet.
These photos from a recent fitness photoshoot by the photographer Phil Young demonstrate what great shape he’s in; so Ty wanted to share some inside knowledge into what works for him and some of his clients.
Tyrone spent the last part of 2010 reducing his body fat so that this year he could focus on adding lean mass and getting even stronger.
In January he was 92kg and we’ve just weighed him at 99.4kg. 7.5kg in 2 months – not too shabby!
So, for those wondering what it takes to get strong and lean, firstly make sure the words determination and committment are in your vocabulary:
Tyrone’s Split routine:
5 day German Volume Training cycles split into chest/back, arms/shoulders, quads and hamstrings with additional calves exercises twice a week.
For the uninitiated, beginner GVT cycles involve a huge amount of volume (10 sets of 10 reps), slow tempo and only one main exercise per bodypart. Hard work yes, but a very effective way to add mass quickly due to the extraordinary stress on the targetted muscle fibres.
Tyrone’s nutritional tips for adding lean mass includes:
Lean cuts of Turkey, Chicken and 8 Eggs for breakfast.
Good carbs post workout (for those who can handle them) in the shape of brown rice
Add forest sized amounts of greens with every meal.
He supplements with Pro Greens, Whey Better and Omega First from our own range here at The Training Shop, the City of London’s first and only specialist health and fitness shop.
If you want to ask Tyrone a question about your own training or are interested in personal training with an excellent conditioner who will never give you a programme he hasn’t done himself you can email him at tyrone@foundryfit.com
