When is the body at its best?

- Angelo R Amirez De Cartagena

More than the one-two punch of a strenuous workout routine and strict diet, as well as optimizing the process with necessary supplements, these men at their veritable peak and prime prove that all it takes is a repurposed mindset and recalibrated lifestyle. Really, the ripped, chiselled muscles are just a bonus, they insist. Meet the diverse and beast of a group behind the first ever MEGA Man and Euphoria-Maxx Best Bodies. Trust us, you will want to put that slice of pizza down now.

Tanner Mata is no stranger to fitness. Active growing up and always on the move, Tanner began proper training in his first year of high school, joining a strength training program. It was just natural for him to be around and doing exercise. “I guess it was always on my mind. I never really thought, ‘Oh, I should take care of my bod.’ It was more that I like working out. I like being fit, pushing my body to the limit and seeing what I can do with myself. With my friends, I was always active—we were outside running around doing parkour.”

As an international model, and now a regular personality on TV, he continues to strive for a body to be proud of, taking fitness seriously. His training is well-organized and holistic, focusing his attention on different muscle groups every day of the week to get a full-body workout with ample rests in between days. “I do chest and arms on Mondays. Back and legs on Tuesdays. Wednesdays, it’s just arms and cardio—then repeat.” Without missing a beat, Tanner remarks about how pull-ups are what he enjoys best. “You can deal with a variety of different types of pull-ups and work with so many different types of muscles, depending on which way you do it.”
