Men’s Physique Bodybuilder Zac Aynsley Shares Physique Transformation That Led to Win at British Championships

Bodybuilder Zac Aynsley’s hard work paid off with a victory on Saturday!

British bodybuilder and Generation Iron athlete Zac Aynsley worked hard to transform his physique into one that would eventually be worth a championship. On Saturday, that came to fruition as he won gold during the 2023 Ryan Terry British Championships.

The show was a two-day event at the Manchester Central Convention Complex in Manchester. Ryan Terry, along with Phil Heath and Kai Greene, appeared at the event and enjoyed a weekend full of bodybuilding.

Aynsley took to Instagram on Saturday following his victory.

“Today, I stood on stage and held back my tears because in that moment I knew that no matter the result, I had done it. I AM BACK! I have re-fallen in love with this sport again, myself again, LIFE AGAIN.

This is only the beginning of my new chapter.
I’m so genuinely excited to take this off season seriously and become the best version of myself possible.”

About Zac Aynsley

Zac Aynsley is a renowned British bodybuilder who has taken the fitness world by storm. Born July 2, 1994, in Northumberland, England, Aynsley was always interested in sports and fitness. Initially, Anysley got his confidence after reaping some success from DJing — even releasing an EDM single. However, this music lifestyle that came with partying (indulging in alcohol and drugs) and other unhealthy habits took a toll on his body.

Aynsley wrote on Instagram about how he was able to overcome this and transform his physique.

“I was suffering and couldn’t find a way out.
I knew deep down I wanted to get back and compete again, to be my true self again but it almost seemed completely impossible to get out of the place i was in.
However, I never let go of hope.
I had faith that one day some miracle would happen that would give me the strength to come back.”

Zac saw Arnold Schwarzenegger’s photos and videos, which gave him extra inspiration to begin training and work on his health.

He got a gym membership and went to work. He was committed to the gym and his new way of life. Zac ensured his eating routine had enough calories and supplements to recoup the body, which was something new to Zac. After just half a month, Zac was at that point seeing improvement with his physical make-up, and could hardly imagine how he was getting greater and more grounded.

Now, Aynsley has built a physique that is stage ready and it showed on Saturday.
