Martyn Ford is returning to his beastly form.

A few months back it was reported that Martyn Ford was in pretty bad condition, having to undergo surgery. The bodybuilding personality, actor, and 5% Nutrition head found himself in dire straits, losing a considerable amount of weight due to his stomach ailment.

But while things appeared grim, it looks like Martyn Ford is bouncing back. A recent Instagram post shows a before and after of Martyn Ford post surgery and how he’s been able to pack on the muscle within several weeks of dedicated training.

first picture (321lb) was taken today and second one 7 weeks ago (263lb). After having 12 inches of small intestine removed and part of my bowel, I don’t think I’m doing to bad….. yes I was shattered and devastated when I fell ill, losing so much weight was crushing, and looking back I suffered some depression, but only way is up when you hit rock bottom, I’m still a few steps away from where I was, but a hell of a way in front where I started 7 wks back. No matter what life throws at you, take it one step, one breathe, one day at a time. Small little goals will eventually add up to huge milestones. Success doesn’t happen overnight, but a drive to succeed day, after day, after day. Until eventually you start to get somewhere. Focus on your dreams and never stop believing #martynford #ignite
