6ft 6 Bodybuilder with An Inspirational Story
Matty Campbell had an interest in sports from a young age, starting off as a sprinter and getting to County level.
As a teenager he got into football, reaching Academy Level. He had hoped to go Pro but he was involved in a life changing car crash where he had to learn to walk again. It was his rehabilitation that led him to finding the gym.
Despite having never previously been a gym-goer, he found that he had a natural ability and he started gaining muscle at a rapid rate. He fell in love with it and subsequently started bodybuilding. He’s competed in bodybuilding shows in a professional federation (IFBB) and is known among peers as “The Mountain.”
Matty considers himself a rare find – standing at a huge 6ft 6 and able to deadlift over 600kg, making his power and strength almost impossible to match!
Matty will be starring in BBC One’s Gladiators as ‘Bionic’.
