Kirk Miller is fast becoming a “household name” in the fitness industry, since he was
catapulted into the spotlight after winning the Men’s Health cover model
contest in 2010. Kirks life first hinted a change when he entered the
competition to become a Men’s health fitness model in 2009 which proved to be
unsuccessful. Not deterred by this failure Kirk reapplied the following year
and on winning the competition changed his life.
Kirk was propelled
into the fitness industry and went from being a 26 year old plumber who spent a
lot of time “watching the clock”, to a fitness model and personal trainer. “Being
a fitness model and Personal trainer is amazing”, I completely understand the
meaning of that famous saying, “when you find a job you love you’ll never work
a day in your life”.
Kirk’s
passion and energy for his job more than tells you how much enjoyment he gets
from helping others. His favourite case is a woman he trains called Nikki, who
went from a; depressed, recently divorced, unhealthy, binge drinker to a recent
competitor in the bikini classification at Birmingham.
Kirk is
currently being trained by the great Neil Hill whose two latest pupils pros James "Flex" Lewis and Zack "King" Khan
have both become huge within the industry.
Kirk has
been working closely with Neil in developing the Y3T workout which stands for
Yoda 3 Training. The principle of Y3T is to systematically keep your muscles
guessing how you are going to train so that your body has less chance to adapt.
This is done by rotating your training style over a 3-week period. In this
period all the muscle fibres are stimulated and giving the overall body a
fantastic composition.
Crucial Tips
from Kirk
- Consistency is the key to a whole body and lifestyle change.
- Don’t get hung up on heavy weights, be yourself with workouts.
- Quality over quantity cannot be said enough, the greater the muscle activation the more of the muscle can grow.
Finally, we
would all love to abdominals like Kirk, so here are some of his best exercises
to help you on your way.
- Reverse cable crunches
- Russian twists
- Hanging leg raises
- Don’t forget with lower abs, simple low kicks are a brilliant way to sculpt this area.
