Must Always Be Ready for Photo Shoots
In the super competitive modeling field, a fitness model like Rusty Joiner needs to be ready to fly out of town on short notice. To do this, your lean condition needs to be maintained year-round. For a career in fitness modeling, being in consistently lean condition is a necessity.
While at times it may be helpful to “bulk up” to pack on some extra muscle mass, rest assured that no photographer will want to shoot a soft, bloated, and undefined physique. Not only do you need to be “on” for a shoot, you must maintain this condition, as often times fitness modeling opportunities spring up at a moments notice. In an extremely competitive business, a photographer will always go with the guy who is ready to fly out of town on a few days notice, rather than a model who needs 10 weeks to lean up.
