Smash Style

Vampire Diaries star Sean Faris graces the February 2010 cover of Men’s Health. Here are some fitness tips from the 27-year-old actor:

On not eating out too often: “Cooking at home is key to being in shape. You can order a salad in a restaurant, but not know what you’re getting.”

On lifting lighter weights but with better form: “I see so many people in the gym just slinging weight around. You can accomplish more if you squeeze the reps out in perfect form, instead of going big and trying to kill it every time.”

Cheat big or go home: “If I’m going to cheat, I do it right,” (His recent splurge: a brownie, and ice cream with hot fudge.)
