The process to success - with Jeffrey Rose

"Who said progress was a slow process, wasn't talking about me."

This sentimental quote, echoed by model Jeffrey Rose, chronicles his personal and professional drive towards success.

He's a natural on the catwalk and mirthlessly hilarious when describing what he does.

"Now I am really happy with my body. It comes with age," Rose said.

His career is greatly dependent on appearances. Because of this, he maintains a healthy lifestyle, hitting the gym all of six days per week.

When you think about how to get a professional fitness model body, many

people are super intimidated because they automatically imagine the athletes who are featured in bodybuilding magazines with veins popping out their forehead, who look completely out of their minds.

"In reality, most companies are looking for 'average fit' people. No bulging biceps or bursting blood vessels required, just regular people who look like they might have played sports in college, but they aren't massive football linebackers, or giants on the basketball court," he said.

Over the last year, Rose has undergone major weight loss, trimming his much bigger physique, to a lean, muscular-looking dude.

"What I want persons to understand is that to get this physique, you don't have to kill yourself, you just have to really focus on carving out the leanness that you are looking for," Rose said.
