Biography

From Sports to Acting

Born in 1986, from New Zealand, Tyrone Bell played many sports as a child. Growing up, he played volleyball and baseball for his high school team and also excelled in sprinting.

“I’ve always been into fitness, but initially it was all in the form of sports.”

Later on, Tyrone developed an interest in stunt performing and acting alongside weightlifting, this is when he decided to move to Australia to pursue his career.

Coaching The Stars

By the age of 30, Tyrone gained worldwide popularity for his roles in different movies and TV series, establishing himself among other television stars as an actor, stuntman, and personal trainer to the stars.

Physique Competing

Tyrone was always fascinated with physique competitors, so he decided to give it a try. In 2012, Tyrone took part in 2 competitions, the 2012 NZIFBB Auckland Show, and the 2012 NZIFBB Waikato, and after the competitions were over, he decided to leave it behind to continue with his acting career. Even though Tyrone gave up on competing, he made his place as one of the world’s leading fitness icons, and TV stars.

“One of the most powerful training skills you can develop is a strong mind/muscle connection. Strengthening the neuromuscular pathways between your mind and the targeted muscle. This gives you the ability to focus the load and recruit more available muscle fibers into each and every rep. Which ends up being a far more powerful hypertrophy mechanism than just shifting a heavy ass load from point A to point B.”

Nutrition

Cutting

When it comes to losing fat, Tyrone believes in staying lean all year round, and not having to work too much in order to lose that extra bit of body fat.

According to Tyrone, he stays at around 10% body fat throughout the whole year. The reason for is, Tyrone says, is his constant photo shoots and movie roles. So by being at a lower percentage of body fat percentage, he doesn’t need to aggressively cut back when the time for a movie comes.

Supplementation

When he was preparing for his roles in various movies and TV series, Tyrone was consuming several supplements. They were glutamine, BCAAs, pre-workout supplements, creatine, and occasionally, a whey protein.
