Here he goes in depth on how he mirrored Evan’s build, what he ate, how much he trained and his daily routines. See below for images of just how good an effect this regime had on his build.

'In order to match Luke’s impressive physique I had to study images of his build and workout how to get myself to his level. In this instance, due to being in a hotel for four months with no kitchen and cooking facilities, prepping six meals a day was not an option.

He introduced me to intermittent fasting and helped me to come up with a diet plan to follow':
