One Nation Magazine gets the Bare-Cheek truth of Scott Herman
One Nation Magazine’s Editor caught up with Fitness adviser and model Scott Herman to talk how it all started, commitment, sexy body parts and the future.
Now Scott tell us a little about yourself an how you got into fitness?
It all started when I was 12. I was very introverted at the time and was constantly picked on by my older brother and his friends. Kids at school didn’t help either. Being a quiet kid made me an easy target. I just didn’t know how to respond to people making fun of me. I didn’t want to be like them. I just wanted them to leave me alone. Growing up I idolized the morals and values of the superheroes my comics I would read. I guess I just wanted to be like them. They were respected and had the strength to fight for what was right. I thought that if I went to the gym and grew muscle people would leave me alone and I would have the strength to help others. However it wasn’t that easy. Once I started working out in my basement my brother told all his friends and “Are you going to get muscles and beat us up” was the constant phrase used I heard each day. But my anger was never the fuel.. it was to be a better person that drove me each day. Some people are put on this Earth to help and be an inspiration to others. As I got older I realized that and made it my goal to do what I could to reach out. I guess telling you how I got started with fitness training also tells you a bit about my personality.
You have two choices in life. You can go with the grain or against it. Usually going against the grain is the hardest but if you are strong with both body and soul, you can make a difference.
Tell us a little about your website and what it offers for members?
ScottHermanFitness.com offers more in-depth advice on how to perform various exercises with photos and documentation as well as a state of the art meal plan that will show you exactly how to eat to reach your goals.
The main difference between the exercises on SHF.com and the free advice offered on YouTube is that you can utilize the “Body Diagram”( http://scotthermanfitness.com/exercise.php) on the site that allows you to click the muscle you would like to workout and a whole array of exercises will pop up. YouTube doesn’t allow this kind of organization and as I continue to post videos I do not want them to be lost in the masses. Also, with a new recent site update I have been able to link the videos on YouTube to the exercises posted on SHF.com. There are a couple hundred exercises on SHF.com that are not yet posted on YouTube, however I plan to have everything synced up very soon. I just hope my subscribers don’t mind the FLOOD of videos to come!
How committed to fitness do you have to be in your line of work, and are supplements something you would recommend?
Practice what you preach. If you want people to listen to you, you need to show them that you follow your own advice. Fitness has to be your lifestyle in my line of work. As far as supplements. It is all about a clean meal plan and supplementing protein when needed. Also, health bars are great for when on the go or traveling. I definitely recommend bars and whey protein to help you get the caloric intake you need to reach your goals each day.
If a reader wants a body like yours what would you advise?
All you need to do is eat clean, train hard, and stay focused. Consistency is key here. I have been training since I was 12 and never stopped. No vacations, no months off, even when I didn’t want to go, I went. If you don’t stay consistent a day off could easily turn to a week, a month, then a year! So stay focused!!!
If you had the choice of sport guru or supermodel potential which would you pick?
Well to be honest the goal is to work both avenues (acting too) as ways to reach out to a larger audience to bring more viewers to my YouTube channel and SHF.com.
If you could choose any designer underwear/sports brand to be the ‘face of’ which would it be?
I want to be the face of Calvin Klein. It has been a goal of mine for some time now. I got a good feeling I will be able to cross that off very soon!
You seem very confident in your photo-shoots – How risqué would you actually go in a shoot?
Well I’ve done some pretty risqué things already, I guess the next thing would be porn hahaha but I am not going to be doing that.
You have done some amazing photo-shoots. Who has been your favorite photographer and what was the best shoot location?
One of my favorites was Rob Deaton: http://scotthermanfitness.com/portfolio.php?Rid=13 I enjoyed these photos because they were different from any shoot I have ever done before. Check them out!
Reality Model shows, what’s your feeling? Love them or hate them? And would you do it?
I don’t think that would be for me. Some of those people are just too “pretty” haha.. and I would feel short.
What do you think is the sexiest part of your body?
I would like to think my mind. But if we had to pick a part I would say my abs. I have spent a lot of time sculpting them over the years and take pride when people ask me how to get them. I love showing people my ab routines, they are so fun!
So how does the future look for Scott Herman?
Very good! SHF and YouTube has allowed me to create a platform where I can really grow. I have a few really great opportunities in the mix which I will talk about soon on my SHF Weekly Update on my YouTube channel. Be sure to check in!
Our readers are going to want to know are you single or attached, gay or straight, and how does it feel being adorned by so many gay fans?
I am a single straight male. I have tried several times to do the whole dating thing but it’s hard with the amount of time I have committed to growing my business and career. I want to be able to support a family of my own one day so I am taking the time now to really build a good foundation.
As for my fans, I love you guys! In fact, the majority of the comments left on my videos are from my gay fans and they are hilarious. Also, when some douche posts a negative comment on my videos, my gay fans tear them to pieces!!!!! (I know some of the ladies do too!)
Tell us something people would never guess about you that you have never told anyone before?
I can’t think of anything I “haven’t said” but what throws a lot of people off is that I am HUGE into Anime a.k.a Japanimation. I love that stuff and I am actually a pretty damn good artist myself!
What’s your ideal night out or in?
My ideal night in is playing xBox with my friends, drinking soda, playing cards, and just relaxing. If it is nice out, working on the car is fun too.
For a night out.. I love just doing stuff. I have wanted to go roller-skating for like a month.. Not rollerblading… roller-skating.. I am awesome at it.. seriously.. who wants to go, we can do the limbo and jump over small children who fall in front of you when you are speed skating.. so fun!!
Oh wise one… If you could give ‘all us guys’ one piece of advice on any subject what would it be?
If it is 11pm and you are about to go for a late night run… don’t wear all black because you will get pulled over by the police and they will call you an idiot… not speaking from experience… (THE ONLY CLOTHES I HAD THAT WERE WARM WERE BLACK! It was too cold for the blue shorts!)
