An international fitness cover model, David Morin doesn’t work out just for looks, he trains for strength, too. Each week Morin tests his one-rep max (1RM) in one of six compound lifts.
“There’s enough time in between for my body to make gains from a 1RM,” says Morin. “Even though you’re getting older, you can still maintain muscle mass and strength.”
Morin does hypertrophy-based workouts the rest of the week, and his cardio routine in one week of 3-4 steady-state sessions with three days of 10-40 yard sprints the next week.
Reminiscent of the late Greg Pitt, Morin preaches a deep fitness mantra. “Discipline is the bridge between imagination and physical attainment. If you can imagine it, you can be it.”

His Advice To Get Lean
Use Intermittent Fasting: Eat one meal a day (after 4 p.m.). To get through the day, mix a gallon of water with 30 grams of BCAAs.
Get Juiced Up: If you’re on a diet, juicing fruits and vegetables provides extra nutrients. Adding turmeric can relieve joint pain, and aloe vera aids in digestion.
Go With Your Gut: When increasing protein, increase probiotic intake, too. Probiotics help ensure you absorb protein and utilize it properly.
