Banks began competing professionally in 2019 and has since gone on to win the Men’s Physique Olympia as well as the highly esteemed Arnold Classic.
However, his success didn’t come from sheer luck – it came down to dedication.
Most days, Banks starts his day at 4.30am where he knocks out some fasted cardio.
He then balances family life with a weights program for the rest of the day and calls it quits by 8pm at the latest.
He told BarBend: “When I’m really locked in for these shows and prep, I’m in bed by 7pm.
“I don’t like to push past that because recovery is key.
“Routine is so vital.
“I believe a lot of my success is built on what I do on a daily basis – adapt and stay focused.”
Banks, however, is most notable for his incredible V-taper physique that is made obvious through his huge back muscles.
And he has now let fans in on his secret workout, which he performs twice a week.
It includes:
- Straight-Arm Lat Pulldowns: 4 x 20 reps (moderate weight to warm up)
- Chest-Supported T-Bar Rows: 4 x 12 reps (heavy)
- Seated Lat Pulldowns: 4 x 12 reps (heavy)
- Rack Pulls: 3 x 10 reps (super heavy)
- Hperextended rows: 4 x ten reps (super heavy)

Prior to competing professionally, Banks was a gifted athlete in high school and then went on to study kinesiology in college.
Despite his inclination for fitness, he admitted he never wanted to be a bodybuilder.
But in 2017, trainer Terry Reeves “begged” Banks to give it a shot.
Ever since, the 33-year-old has perfected his craft to be the best in the world.
He said: “We tried to maintain every other body part, but once you start working out to the extreme, everything grows.
“In those months, we became more polished.”
During a cut, Banks consumed about 2,700 calories a day.
At ten weeks out from competition, he increased it to 3,200 calories.
Most of his nutritional gains come from chicken breast, rice and broccoli.
He said: “At that ten to 12 week mark, we push that stuff to the side.
“It’s based on being the best.
“I’ve never gotten bored of food, which is why I’ve prepped for the last three years, eating the same things.”
According to his Instagram, Banks teased he would take a shot at the Classic Physique division when he retired.
