The 360lb HULK, Martyn Ford | Bodybuilding, Bulking & Blockbusters

On this week’s episode of the Escape Your Limits Podcast, our guest is known as the “real life hulk” due to his ability to go from a 6’6 310lb athlete to a 360lb mass monster. At a young age, Martyn Ford started out as an emerging cricketer, but his professional athlete dream was cut short when he faced a devastating injury. Little did he know that this would be his steppingstone to a successful career in the fitness industry.
His work ethic and mindset in training carried over to other pursuits that led him to be an internet sensation, a fitness influencer with over 4 million followers worldwide, an online fitness coach, and a successful actor. He has starred in Hollywood Blockbuster films such as: Fast & Furious 9, Kingsman: The Golden Circle, and The Machine. He also signed a professional MMA contract with KSW.
Today, Martyn Ford shares all about:
• How he transforms his body for each role in the film industry using what he learned as a PT
• His methodology for bulking his body with a “eat 8x a day” program
• How he’s adapted his training routine to train the strongest and weakest parts of his body

Dang man, I got a whole new level of respect for Martyn after this interview. Great, deep diving questions, and I appreciate the interviewer letting Martyn talk and fully explain himself. Sounds like a good guy...not flawless (who is!?), but definitely a good guy.

[@panagenesis2695]

He's right about children. They want your time, love and attention and not excessive material gifts or luxuries.

[@adamwallace985]

Wish he would tell my Mrs that lol

[@panagenesis2695]

He's also right about modern education. It's become about memorization and rote learning and not about the Classical Liberal Arts, creativity and critical thinking.

[@cnwil4594]

I agree, and I compare my education with my younger cousins, it's scary.

[@cnwil4594]

Cool dude, would like to see him in more movie roles. I am not impressed with most bodybuilders, but Martyn is a favorite. Hope to meet him sometime, standup guy.

[@hardlines2635]

You do know he’s married with kids.

Amazing he still claims he's not on anything.

[@hardlines2635]

😂🤣😂 same as the Rock. They say they are not on steroids while taking growth hormone.

[@brodieallard6638]

Roids changed his life in a positive way opening doors for him.. They will once again change his life when he comes off them, this time in a negative way.
