    Fitness Modeling Question

    Although I'm nowhere near able to do this now my ultimate goal is to one day do this, atleast one shoot you know? I know for regular modeling you need an agent, portfolio, etc because I did a few shots several years ago....is fitness modeling the same deal? Any good agencies?

    Yeah, it's rough and it's a serious business if you are trying to do anything worth being noticed. It's like 10 times harder than getting totally ripped, and it takes a lot of dedication/persistence to get ripped.

    look into the lyons group. mike lyons owns the agency. tops for models with great physiques. you can google them. they do have open calls if you have a book. that's where i would start and work you're way down if that doesn't work out.best advice you will get as far as city agencies for physiques models

    i know a photographer from the lyons group, shooting w/ him very soon(i canceled last yr, it was too much stress!) my good friend belongs to that agency.. once you get to that level you decide where you want to take it... and attitude is just as important as looks, if you act like an ahole, and are 3% bf it means nothing... thats what every photographer emphasises.. to be very nice and gay,,,,lol no joke

    Mike Lyons is a liar and a fat piece of garbage. It's not even his agency and he leads you to believe it is, he was the owner at one time, but then got bought out and just worked for them as a scout. He doesnt even have anything to do with them anymore as of like last month, he's with Arnell now. This guy fed me nothing but B.S. for 2 years straight, **** TLG

    oh yeah, and you have to act completely gay and and vulnerable for them to like you, the agency and the photographers. I'm sorry, but acting like a queer isnt what got my body to where it is now, nor where it will be. And as much as people would like to pump it up, your not going to get rich just fitness modeling. If anything, ripped off and you'll dump far more into your physique than you'll get out of the shoots. This is the real deal.

    Strength.net is basically a gay porn site with no nudes. It's for men who like to "admire" ripped young guys. I would stay away from that site if I were you. Unless you like oiling u, wrestling and posing with other guys for money.

    Gay place or not, I'm sending off my portfolio just to see what they say.



    I want them to view the website, etc.

    I'll make sure to say "my wife encouraged me to do this, as she saw your site", but once they learn that I don't like to play in the mud, they'll probably ditch my application.
