Martyn Ford is a 320 lbs, 6’8″ bodybuilder with an inspirational story. He was a talented cricket player in his youth, on his way to building a successful career. However, during one of his training sessions, an injury struck him. After the injury, Martyn got a severe case of glandular fever (infectious mononucleosis), which left him sidelined for around 12 months; a period which was crucial for his career development. As a result, Martyn had to abandon his dreams of becoming a professional cricket player, and look for something else to build his career upon.
It was during this time he decided to “enter the world” of fitness and bodybuilding; seeing it as an ideal way to channel his frustrations that built up inside of him throughout the months he was unable to play cricket. But, soon, this frustration was replaced with a passion for lifting “the iron” – he became “captivated” by his progress in the gym. Martyn hasn’t looked back since then – through years of hard work inside, and outside of the gym, he’s become a famous fitness model, actor, and online sensation.
