The Director determined Casting someone Else to Play Jacob Black in New Moon

The Director of New Moon, Catherine Hardwicke, determined casting someone else to replace Taylor Lautner. She wanted someone with more muscle and more believable to play Jacob Black. You see, Jacob turns into a werewolf in this movie and she wanted someone with a stronger physical nearnessy than Taylor Lautner.

Taylor Had to Gain Muscle fast or possibly Lose His Role in New Moon

Luckily Taylor had the strong martial arts background which aided him in getting this ripped look. If this was just a 17 year-old with a less athletic background, there is no way he would have been able to display the same degree of muscle tone in such a short duration of time.

The private to Jacob Black's Six Pack Abs

Taylor Lautner's abs were not just a corollary of the 9 months of training prominent up to the shooting of New Moon. His years of martial arts training created muscle density and muscle maturity commonly not seen until someone reaches their mid-20's. Habitancy who compete in martial arts gain power from tightening their core...this tightening over time builds hard and defined muscles in the abs. The way to communicate the abs is dieitng down to a low body fat percentage, but the presume Taylor Lautner had an excpetional six pack was due to his martial arts experience.

The Gaining Muscle Part for Taylor Was Easy

Taylor fast put on 20 pounds of mass due to his age. The thing that fitness magazines never tell you is that you are easily able to gain mass when you first workout. The number of muscle Taylor put on his body was the natural number of muscle he was suppose to have. He isn't big by any stretch of the imagination, which is good. Like just about any young guy I've worked with, Taylor was able to fast fill in and get close to his genetic potential quickly. He did it in 9 months, since he had so much time he could devote to this...this typically takes 12-24 months for most guys.

When Interviewed About How He Got in Shape for New Moon...

If you see any of Taylor Lautner's interviews, you will consideration he is pretty vague about his workouts...he says things like "I worked out a lot and ate a lot". Honestly, this is all it takes for a young guy in his late teens to early 20's to gain those 15-25 pounds. The trick is to then get lean and ripped. This is where I come in and help men and women get that lean "Hollywood" look...
