most of the clothing that’s fashion-
able now is tightly fitted to enable
people to display their hard work.
Modelling gives me another voice
and a different angle through which
I can show the world that being a
bodybuilder can also provide a great
lifestyle if you’re willing to put the
work in.”
Max believes every opportunity
should be explored.
“Having suffered so many injuries,
I always say you should never take
for granted what you have now or
what may happen in future,” he
says. “Having every door open
and gaining new experience
as well as new muscle means
that I can be versatile and enables
me to maintain a career in fitness.
It’s great to do something you
love and have a passion for. This
makes work feel as if it isn’t work
at all. Try to keep the hobby or
passion as something you can
still enjoy outside of work too.
And finally, don’t lose sight of
your normal job, because one
day you may want to return to it.
Always keep your options open!”
