Skinny Geek Transformed Himself Into a 323-Pound “Monster”!
No way you gonna mess with this dude.
Trying to build muscles when you’re tall and lanky is a torturous process, something that requires balls of steel to accomplish. It’s definitely a Herculean task, but Martyn Ford is proof that if you really set your mind on something, you can definitely get it. Standing 6’8 inches tall, this former lanky guy was all skin and bones. Now check out what he looks like now in this amazing before and after picture on his Instagram account.
You’re looking at 323 pounds of pure muscle.
He owns a gym (big surprise!)
He has got himself into movies because of his dominating physique.
He plays a dude named Koshmar in the movie Undisputed 4, alongside martial arts actor Scott Adkins.
Ford’s mammoth size and charisma has landed him a role in a film called Undisputed 4, which he will play the role of ‘The Nightmare.’
As Goliath in a new series ‘of kings and prophets’.
Not bad for a former skinny guy.
So what’s his secret, you may ask.
He credits it all to hard work and going all beast mode at the gym.
“We have all been there, no one accidentally grows muscle. However it often seems impossible to get good advice on how they did it!” he wrote on his Instagram account.
“After being in that place, so desperate to grow and feel better about myself, I know how frustrating it can be.”
According to Martyn, it’s not just about working out and eating right.
He also stresses the importance of having the right mindset.
“Mental preparation and success, in my opinion are far more important to success than any drug, supplement or food source.”
“If your mind is not in the game, you may as well just give up and go home.”
“This is what makes champions, the ability to get up, day after day, prep there food, hit the fasted cardio, do the mind blowing resistance sessions, push yourself to limits you didn’t know were there.”
If you’re thinking of following in his massive footsteps, he has this to say to people like you:
“Think of your goals and the feeling when you achieve. Self satisfaction is an incredible feeling, visualise and try your hardest to feel that before you even start the lift.”
“Think about what you DON’T want to become. Negative reinforcement is a great tool to kick start the body into action! The fear of been a failure is almost like the ‘fight or flight’ this will either crush or push you!”
“Staying focused is key for success! You need to be clear and adamant on your goals.”
