00:00I'm Max Tariot, and today I'm gonna show you what my workout looks like.

00:17I didn't really start working out in this sense until I think I was like 21.

00:24I saw Ryan Felipe on the cover of Men's Health and thought, I can look like that.

00:28And that's when I really started going to the gym all the time.

00:31My weight started going up.

00:32The amount of weight I was lifting was going up, was increasing.

00:35You know, I started to notice that my body was changing.

00:37That's what really sort of hooked me was getting to actually see a difference and see this time

00:42that you put in.

00:43I can't make a change.

00:44It just takes consistency.

00:45So my workout, I'm gonna probably try and focus more on back stuff.

00:50I'm a big incline bench press guy if I'm benching, and I finish with some more.

00:58I love like a pull down just because of the things that you can do on this machine.

01:04And I usually go to like a wider grip thing towards the end.

01:07Most of my sets are done either 15, 12, 10, 8, or 20, 15, 12, 8, like in that range.

01:14And as I'm lowering the reps, I'm upping the weight.

01:17This one kind of looks a little different.

01:20I put my feet back and like basically kind of allow my back to arch more.

01:27And this one will come down like lower.

01:29Honestly, the biggest thing for me is if I have like a really good pump and I'm tired

01:36at the end, like that's really when you're done.

01:41I hardly ever flat bench.

01:43This is usually where I come down to.

01:46And then I'll usually do like 20 or something as a warm up.

01:55So my training for Fire Country, when I started out on the show, a lot of it was I wanted to

01:58sort of change my appearance, what my character was going through.

02:01So I was trying to get that Bane, like Edward Norton, like kind of weird and scary jack thing

02:07going on with like bigger traps, bigger shoulders.

02:09On camera, if you're wider this way, you're going to look bigger than if you're wider this

02:13way.

02:14So I do a lot of that.

02:15I usually finish like every workout with arms.

02:18I mean, anything on a cable push down, pull downs, cable curls, like there's honestly a

02:26million things you can do that I find myself sort of just trying to switch up the motion

02:31a little bit.

02:32So it's not always the same.

02:33You know, it's hitting the same muscle, but you're just working it, working it out a little

02:38bit differently every time.

02:41And then to do these, sometimes I'll do them like it's a single arm instead of two.

02:45Tie that little fancy knot in there.

02:48I'll do like a sideways instead.

02:54So same thing, same like same reps, same sets.

03:02Got to get the shoulders out.

03:04Everything, same reps, same amount of sets, going up in weight.

03:09I'm a little different from when I do these, like I won't just do like a direct like shoulder

03:16fly.

03:17I kind of like having an angle because then at the end I turn it into like a trap squeeze,

03:22where you'll kind of still get that same, you know, balled up shoulder lick, but you're

03:27hitting your traps.

03:29And then a lot of times just to kind of start burning it out.

03:35Keep the weights and I'll do like different variations of like a bicep exercise while I

03:39have them.

03:40So hammer curls, or I like these, basically a hammer curl that turns into a regular curl,

03:47but reverse and standing probably the easiest way so I don't, my legs are clear, but basically

03:57I normally do like 10 in each direction.

04:02So up, hammer, down, straight, up, hammer, down, straight, and then I'll go the opposite.

04:07So I'll go up, straight, down with a hammer curl, up, straight, down with a hammer curl.

04:14And I'll do these like 20 reps, so 10 of each.

04:19And that's like one of my favorite bicep exercises by far.

04:22So that was my everyday workout.

04:24Keep hammering, get some, everybody can do it, if I can do it, you can, trust me.
