Martyn Ford is a professional bodybuilder and personal trainer who’s done some pretty impressive things. He stands out with his growth of 207 cm and weighing about 150 kg, however, he was not always so huge. In his youth days, a tall guy was often pranked because he was lengthy and thin. Martyn endured this for a long time but one day he decided to change radically.  “I had been teased my whole life on account of being taller than everyone else in my class," said the 6-foot-5 man from Birmingham, England speaking "At school I would be called 'giant' or 'freak,' it really got under my skin."

Martyn Ford has been successful in his fitness journey because he never gave up. He’s one example of how you can achieve your goals if you put in the time and effort to do so. Keep at it, and start this week with The Nightmare Bodybuilder Workout.

If you’ve ever wanted to become one of the world’s strongest men, Martyn Ford can show you how. The 6'8" bodybuilder has spent years training and eating in order to keep himself at peak condition for competitions like Arnold Classic Europe 2016. His diet is strict and regimented (he eats every hour!) but he manages to stick with it because he knows that his success depends on his efforts. Whether or not this sounds challenging enough for your goals, we hope reading about Martyn's journey will inspire you to give yourself a chance! 

To some, the idea of eating every hour may sound like a nightmare. But for Martyn Ford, this is his reality. The bodybuilder consumes an average seven thousand calories per day to maintain his size and fitness level. His diet ratio consists of 40% carbs; 30% fats; 30% proteins which are divided into six meals each containing 25-35 grams of protein, 40-60 grams of carbohydrates or 10 teaspoons of sugar (his favorite), and ten tablespoons oil/fat with varying amounts depending on what he needs that particular meal time. What do you think? Would you be willing to try out Martyn's diet if it worked wonders for him?

Martyn Ford is a large man at 207 cm and 150 kg, but he was not always so huge. In his Diet Plan for the last 3 years, he has been eating 2 meals per day with 7 ½ ounces of chicken breast each time. Meal 1 includes 2 tablespoons Udo’s oil and green vegetables; meal 2 consists of 5 ounces chicken breast and egg whites or oats (3-4 servings). Post workout shakes contain protein powder mixed in water, banana, apple juice if desired. For dinner there are 7-8 ounces of meat – usually beef or lamb – as well as up to 8 portions of vegetables including potatoes and cauliflower.

This is a sample diet to help you lose weight. All meals are between 7 ½ ounces and 15 eggs whites with the exception of meal 4 which includes 5 egg whites. Meal 1 contains 2 tablespoons Udo’s oil, 3 ½ ounces green vegetables, and 3 ½ ounces brown rice. Meal 2 contains 5 oz chicken breast, 5 oz egg whites, and 3 dry measurement ounce oats. Meal 3 contains 7 ¼ oz chicken breast or fish, 7 ¼ vegetable servings including leafy greens like spinach or kale as well as other veggies such as carrots or broccoli that have been steamed until just al dente then drizzled with olive oil for taste along with two tablespoons (dry measure) brown rice and an additional tablespoon.
