I Hate My Body: Skinny Boys and Muscle Men

Nick thinks he's puny, Scott's afraid he has overdone it in the

gym. Matt hates his body. Martin crave as new ripped physique.

Four men, four very different shapes and sizes. But one abiding

hatred, their bodies. I feel like I'm being compared to

the people in the magazines. I think that's what people want.

You are a freak, you get stairs and the whist pering behind your back -

- stares and the whispering behind your back. I'm shunned by society.

80% of British men hate the way they look, as they pursue their

ideal shape, they are splashing out more than a billion on gyms and

health supplements. Now with expert help. I don't think my cuff will

fit around your arm. Two skinny blokes and two pumped up body

builders want to transform themselves in just 12 weeks.

Temptation is all over the place, it is not easy to give up by any

means, nobody can understand unless you have done it. A gym is a gym,

you are going to get fit, not show off. It is a regime of no pain, no

gain. I'm going to be sick. (reching)

Hard facts. It is also known as man boobs. And uncomfortable truths.

need him to up his game and show me what he wants from life. Can they

achieve the perfect physique in 12 weeks. Let's cut the bullshit, if

we miss a session, he will tell me and I will come back down here.

What will they learn about themselves outside and in. He envys

minusles and outside, if I could find someone to swap this with, I

would do it in a heart beat. Four men have come to London on a

mission. To try to achieve the body of their

dreams in just 12-weeks. Two are bulging body builders.

Two are skin and bone. Before they can start their rapid

transformation, they need to have their health and fitness checked

out. Right, I don't think my cuff is

going to fit round your arm. Just pop yourself on the couch for

In charge of their well being is elite sports doctor, Kay Brennan,

who has come fresh from looking after Team GB's Olympic winners.

These guys will have to adopt almost that elite athlete mentality.

They will have to be focused and driven, and take knocks on the chin

and get up the next day and carry on. Fitness guru, Mark Anthony, who

has worked with Jordan, and the stars of TOWIE, will be creating

mens' personal training programmes. I hope all the guys will be

motivated and do whatever they can to achieve the goals.

If they want to do it, they want to make a commitment and go for it.

At six foot two t and weighing nearly 17-stone, Bristol-based body

builder, Scott Francis, has spent the last decade pumping iron. He

now has a massive 45-inch chest, and 18-inch biceps. When you are

pushing heavyweights the feeling going through your head is a nice

panic. Drive, go, come on Scott. You can

feel the weights tearing at your limbs, joints and muscles. Yeah,

mate, that is what I'm talking about, the last few. You really

feel excited, you only finish when you really finish, that is the kind

of mentality you need lifting weight. For 30-year-old entrepeneur

Scott, keeping a big frame means eating big meals. There is

breakfast, cereal, banana, six bacon, ten eggs, two toast, four

sasauges, milk. Perfect breakfast for me. It is not just breakfast,

he has six full meals daily, and has eaten 15,000 calories in a

single day, six-times the recommended average. If I don't eat

regularly I get terrible sickness, nausea, dizziness, it is nearly

linked to diabetes, it is closely linked. The pursuit of the body

beautiful has other unexpected side-effects. You are hot all the

time. In the middle of the night I get shortness of breath. Your heart

has almost a palpitation, it beats so hard all day, you wake yourself

up. Scott's passion for the gym led to him taking part in competitive

body building. He was a lovely little boy. But his

physique has been hard for his mum to accept.

That is not my son. To me, it looks like one of his Transformers that

he had when I was little. This is what I don't like to look at.

Scott's now a parent himself. Ska # I got muscles.

Uhhh. He sees three-year-old Olivia several times a week, although he's

no longer with her mum. You're fast!

Too fast for me! I love kids, I love to do the other fathers do,

run around all day, it would be nice to have that level of fitness.

I feel bad sometimes when she has run up and down the hill and I have

to say, hang on a minute, daddy is out of breath. Or daddy, I would

love to be fitter than her. I want to do more now, if shedding

some muscle and bulk is the only way I can be more productive in my

daughter's life, that is what I have to do. While Scott wants to

shrink down his Hulking frame, at only half his weight, eight-and-a-

half stone Nick Sinnitt is desperate to beef up. After a year-

and-a-half trying to bulk up on his own, student Nick, only has a 28-

inch waist. If I could change now, starting from the bottom, I would

tone up the abs, have the normal six pack, broaden my chest, and

make it more toned. It is not at the moment, it is narrow. And

broaden my shoulders and it makes you look bigger in every way, and

arms being a bit bigger. When not at uni, 20-year-old Nick lives in

Devon with his parents. He's so worried about how he looks

all the time. Not all the time. even get dress today take the dog

out for a walk, just in case he comes across someone he knows. You

dress really well, just seems to me a little bit effeminate! He even

borrows my jeans sometimes! I see these people in the magazines with

the good bodies, I see that's what the girls want. I feel like I'm

being compared to the people in the magazines, and I think that's what

people want. So when they see me, they will be like, that looks

pretty shit. I feel less manly than my bigger

friends having a smaller frame. They are all big, muscley guys.

13.8! 12.5! I have got quite a few friends who are into the whole

rugby thing. I need to be a lot more drunk to be doing that. Don't

be shy. He gets a lot of attention, but he doesn't have the confidence

to return it. He sats at the bar. His size stops him being the person

I know he can be. All four men will follow a strict

diet and workout programme, designed to change their bodies in

a safe way. But first the experts need to see what their muscles can

cope with. About to have a body fat test is

21-year-old, call centre worker, Matt Morley. Your body fat is

really low. Is it really? Have you ever had it done before? No, I

don't think so. It is really low, at the moment it is 4.5%. What

should it be? Between 12-18%. As a healthy range.

Despite being nearly six feet tall, Matt weighs in at just nine-and-a-

half stone. With a 30-inch waist and ten-and-a-half-inch biceps.

would describe myself as very slim, and to myself, a bit of an

embarrassment. Although Norfolk boy Matt has a stick-thin body, it

hasn't held him back with the ladies. He's living with his

glamour model girlfriend, Carley. There is blatantly a lot better

people out there than me. The one day she may find one of them and

not bother coming home. He says walking around with me makes him

feel more insecure, because people are looking at him thinking he's

not very muscley, and skiny. He wants to be the man that holds girl

on his arm all strong, and be able to pick me up and carry me around,

that kind of thing. I don't think he should be under pressure because

I like him just the way he is. Are you going swimming. Are you

coming in? Not today. When not at work, all of their time is spent

looking after their one-year-old daughter, Alana.

I'm not too keen on going swimming, when I take off my top I'm little,

there is nothing much to me, everybody else swimming there is

something to them. I would be a bit wary about that one. It has caused

a lot of arguments about me not spending enough time with her at

the pool. I want to turn it all around and start again.

Matt may dream of transforming his ten-inch biceps into 16-inch guns.

That is a reality for Londoner Martin Sankah.

Three years ago I weighed eight stone, approximately, 55kgs. You

could see my cheekbones back then, and I had a neck. When I was eight

stone there was an occasion when I'm walking in the town with my

girlfriend, and a guy whistles, right in front of my face, couldn't

do nothing about it, because of my size, couldn't say nothing.

He started lifting weights, doubled his size, but lost his better half.

However, he didn't lose his love for body building.

If he's not in the gym, 15-stone Martin is preparing and eating

meals. On a typical day he eats six full meals, including seven eggs,

half a kilo of oats, one kilo of potatoes and more than a kilo of

meat. Totalling a whopping 7,000 calories. Sometimes eating really

does drag on, I get bothered and things like that. I just -- bored,

things like that, I think why should I do this, then when I get

to the gym it becomes so clear. It makes me think back to when I was

eight stone, those guys that used to whistle, I will chuck you in the

sky and leave you there, kind of thing. Martin now has a new

girlfriend, Janie, but it wasn't his bulky body that won her over.

When I was in university, did you prefer the way I looked then?

you looked normal. What now, abnormal? No, just not right.

love me regardless? No. All right. When you have had years and years

of building up, it is so hard to just shift it at once, you have to

be motivated. Nightclub bouncer Martin also needs a ripped body to

start a new career. My dreams of becoming a personal trainer all

began two years a I felt I could train people to achieve their

fitness goals. I'm happeny with the strength department but not the way

I look. I have to have the best of both worlds, I have to have the

strength that being a big guy brings, and that definition and

tone and speed that the small guy brings. They are both inside me,

they just need to talk to each other, and have a better

relationship with each other. To find out what's going on inside

the mens' bodies, the final part of the assessment is an MRI scan.

area here, this is right at the bottom of your back around this

area here. They are also known as the muffin top. These are areas

where fat is naturally stored in everybody, have you heard of muffin

tops. No, I'm surprised to have them. These are your pec muscles

here, these are almost abnormally large. For man of your size, and

your build. But overlying those pecs as well is quite a thick layer

of fat. So, what is also known as man boobs.

It's the start of the 12-week plan, and the lads have just found out

what they will need to do to achieve their dream bodies. It will

be up to them to stick to their diet and exercise plans, but there

will be help and support on hand if they need it, and regular check-ups.

Steak for breakfast, that can't be right. Yeah, steak for breakfast on

Monday, wow. To grow new muscle, Nick will have

to provide his body with a constant supply of protein, that means

eating six-times a day. I have never eaten that much food in a day

really. This will be pretty hard trying to cram it all in, I will be

eating every hour, pretty much. It seems like so much food. I'm happy

to do it. My only worry is, that with only doing around an hour of

gyming a day, will this put on weight in the right way, or will it

just make me a little bit fat. Whilst the skinny boys have been

set the target of gaining one-and- a-half stone of pure muscle. The

body builders are starting their new light-weight workout, with the

aim of reducing their bulk by 2-3 stone. Six-kg dumbbells, I'm

normally 28kg, what am I doing here. Small weights may define the

muscles, but are less likely to impress. Fab club, no? Not any more,

if I was doing that with 30s maybe different, my fan club, you have to

start somewhere. I don't think it will be easy for

Martin to forget about the big weights. He will go to the gym

looking to show off, making sure everyone can see how much he can

lift. Martin may be missing his 28- kilo dumbbells. But in Norfolk,

Matt is struggling to bench-press 20 kilos, using both arms. This is

where it starts to get hard. ensure he doesn't injure himself,

Matt's initially training for only an hour, every other day. That's it,

heels up behind you, as low as you can. Extending the arms out, that

is good. Bloody hell. We have four so far.

How are you feeling now? Dead! Whilst Matt wants to bulk up,

girlfriend Carley is hoping for other changes. Alana is nearly 14

months, and we have one photo, one photo of all three of us. If I do

manage to get a photo it gets deleted. Yep. Doesn't it? Normally

because they are awful. They are not. They are awful. They are

natural pictures of you and your daughter. They are absolutely awful.

It is sad that she will never be this small ever again, and it would

have been nice to have you here, and holding our little baby for the

first time for her first photos rather than just me and Alana.

know. I just don't like pictures. So, obviously, after a little while

maybe I will probably improve, and get more confidence back, at the

moment it is just, no. This is moment it is just, no. This is

probably the worst picture.. The first time I ever saw her, I'm in a

T-shirt saying "doggy-style". just had a baby, he rocks up two

hours late, wearing that T-shirt. Probably not the best start!

this first stage of training, the most crucial element for all four

lads is diet. The skinny boys' bodies are

adjusting to double the calories. Working out rips apart the muscle,

causing more cells to grow back. Eating provides the fuel.

The musclemen were starving their muscles, causing them to shrink.

The low-weight workout speeds this process up by burning calories.

To support a motivate each other, the experts have suggested that the

men regularly meet and train together.

15-stone bouncer Martin has come to Devon, to work out with eight-and-

a-half stone student Nick. Hello, man, how are you doing.

Nick's local gym is a shrine to body building. Look at the size of

this fucking guy, man. To bulk down Martin needs to stick

to small weights and resist the urge to show off. How much is that

you are doing? 30kg. Are you meant to be doing that high? That light?

It is 15 reps. That is pretty much what I bench.

He's not sticking to what he has been asked to do. If you are going

to do something like this, there is no point in just going back into

your old ways, I guess. But I think it might be the environment he's in,

he doesn't want to push low weights because pushing high weights

validates his masculinety. For me it doesn't really bother me.

My bar, coming up! His confidence seems to stem from the fact he

works out. I don't really like people like that, because it's just

like their whole life is working out, their happiness comes from

that. I'm not doing it for those reasons.

That's what I miss over there, fuck me, I'll show them all something.

What would you want to show them? What I can do.

See that's why temptation is all over the place, it is not easy to

give up by any means, nobody can understand unless you have done it,

give up one rep max, and start doing 15 rep, it is not as easy as

it looks, especially in a new gym environment. Martin's desire to

work out has had a big effect on his lifestyle, and played a part in

a break-up with an ex. I was in a four-year relationship, she has

seen my entire process of going from eight stone then to ten stone,

then to 12 stone, which was probably my favourite weight. I

just was never satisfied. I just became 16-stone all of a sudden, I

don't know what the hell happened. But it was like, you know, you are

not spending any time with me, your priorities are somewhere else, and

that was it. My wife became a dumbbell! Can I try and lift that

and see how heavy it is. It is pretty heavy, actually.

No, too heavy for me. Still determined to pump up is

nine-and-a-half stone Matt. He's come to Bristol to train alongside

former body builder Scott. Hello. Good morning.

Come in. I like the place, mate, I'm jealous.

Very jealous. How are you finding the training? I did miss a couple

due to slack work. I would start at 11.00am and finish at 8.00pm, I

should have gone in the morning. Rome wasn't built in day, 99% of

people who don't stay consistent won't change. It is that

consistency. Welcome to Scott's world. This is where the big boys

come to lift big weights. Do you think people will be thinking as

you walk out? God knows, I don't want to think about what they are

thinking, probably, what the hell is he doing here, little man, shit

like that! Now what do I do? all the weight on your heels, so

you are not leaning forward, you are sunk back into it, drop the

body weight backwards, so you are in a squat position, drive up.

Back nice and straight Me lifting 30 with him next to me, made me

feel like an idiot. All the boys in here are 20-times the size of me,

everyone has to start somewhere. Carvery across the road, three days

a week they do unlimited breakfast for �3.49. It is not just the

weights, Matt has to get used to eating like a body builder.

cheesebugers and eggs, please. meals are strictly off the menu for

Scott. The slim breakfast without the cashes. See all the things I

can't eat. Everything on that counter. Conversation turns to the

other half during breakfast? missus is doing veryle well, she's

in The Sportswriter, and a couple of people from Playboy have got in

touch with her to go for an interview. What do you think about

Carley modelling? I don't like her doing it, it fucks me off watching

another bloke taking pictures of my missus topless. It is like being on

a beach, what he sees in the newspaper is on the street. The

thing you have to get in your head, when you get your physical body

right, she goes home every night with you. It is a security issue.

After a month of training, all of the men have received the second

stage of their diet and exercise plans. Nick and Matt are being

asked to consume 6,500 calories a day, while Scott and Martin have

had their food intake cut to around 2,500 calories.

All of the men are being asked to work even harder in the gym. More,

more, rest. But Mark Anthony has become concerned about Martin's

cheating. You know, if he wants that trim line athletic look, then

he has to believe in the programme that I have set him, because this

programme will really shift a lot of body fat, it will shift body fat

fast. We take him out of the environment he's in, put him in a

gym where he's actually the biggest, I think that's going to really

shake him up. To help him reach his target of losing two stone, Mark

has arranged for Martin to train at a very different type of gym.

Jason. Martin. Breathe out as you are coming up, how are you feeling.

Nice and easy. It is a bit quiet in here, it is

bloody quiet. Where is all the testosterone here, God knows. I

haven't got it any more. I saw a guy wearing a pair of jeans,

shit, there should be a policy, you know. The gyms that I have been so,

Jesus Christ, dumbbells going up to 80kg, people dead-lifting weight

that humanely not be possible. I come in here today, people playing

with their phones. So, fuck, man. How are you doing. After his

workout, Martin has a date with girlfriend Janie. Are you OK? What

have you been doing? Training. Check out.

Oh please. No? How was everything today?

is no noise, nobody doing nothing. It is good, it makes you

concentrate. I was concentrating on the quietness, that is what you

don't understand. Put headphones in. I have to listen to Jason. A gym is

a gym. It has weights, that is why you go there. You will never

understand. I will, I used to go to the gym, I like going to gyms that

are quiet. You are not dead-lifting, and clean and pressing weights

above your head. It doesn't matter, a gym is a gym, if you are going to

use a tread mill or weights, gym is a gym, you are going through to get

fit, not show off and start dancing and showing off your muscles to

other people, like some sad person. What these! We are not in primary

school any more. I don't know, you are too rude to me. Why? Because

you are. You have no manners whatsoever.

Whilst Martin is struggling to keep to his plan, Scott is giving his

all. I'm going to be sick! Are you OK, mate? That's me done.

That was all I had. Pushing himself to the limit is a trait that Scott

gets from his dad. What's the bet going to be, a pound? It should be,

I don't want to take money off the elderly, or put a hip out swinging

this, he's not as young as me any more. My father influenced me

heavily growing up. How many balls have we got? Not enough for you to

improve. My father had quite an alpha male ethose, it was always a

battle to be faster or stronger than him. It was drummed in at a

young age, that physical prowess was to be taken on board. With

Scott, the idea of growing up is to see what level you can reach. Every

child needs a competitive spirit, we can't always be equal, there has

to be the best and there has to be the worst. I think sometimes play

to win is important. Nearly half way through training,

Matt's diet plan of two weight-gain shakes and five meals every day is

proving to be a problem. I can't mix that one well enough. This week

has been a bad week, I have only been to the gym once, and I needing

to once again this afternoon. Purely because I have managed to

mess up some hours at work. As well as his job in the call centre, Matt

also has to look after his one- year-old daughter. Fortunately,

girlfriend Carley is on hand to help. I'm going to get up at 6.00

and make his breakfast and lunch for him. As long as I take control

of it, everything is going pretty good. It is a great help having her

help prepare my meals and stuff like that f it is there in front of

me, there is no two ways I can say no about it, she can cook as well,

it always tastes better when somebody else cooks for you. It is

like having another child, but it has always been that way, it is

nothing different. Trainer Mark Anthony may be less

forgiving, Matt goes for a check up. Fat weight has gone up from 2.7

kilos to 4.7. We have actually increased muscle mass by only 0.4

of a kilo, but you have put on two kilos of body fat. That is not good.

It should be so much better, Matt. Although Matt's weight has

increased, it is mostly fat, suggesting he's not working out

enough to turn the extra calories into muscle. Because you are tired

at the end of the day, and because you want to see the little-un, do

you miss the workouts? I do. course you fucking do. Yes.

Absolutely, how many workouts? Quite a few, I need to get it in at

lunch, I have the fucking hour at lunch I need to get it in there.

You can't lie to me any more. You really can't, this is you now we're

talking about, we're investing time in you. So no more telling me

bullshit in any way at all. I want the truth, and if you have missed a

workout, you better tell me. won't be missing one. He's clearly

frustrated, I think he expected a miracle without putting in the

effort, and this is the problem. To gain muscle, Matt really needs

to feed up. Scott has been called upon to help, with his wealth of

experience in mass consumption. How are we doing. Are you all right.

Come on in. Freezing. Carley Scott, Scott,

Carley. Hello, good. How much of the whole thing would

you get in that you see? I thought I was eating loads, but nowhere

near. We should do is go out and get you a blender, we can try a few

things, chicken, mozzarella, tomato, avocado, you would be surprised

what blended food will taste like. Matt is about to be surprised by

Scott's speciality a chicken, mozzarella and pesto smoothie.

can't imagine that would be nice. When you can't get a certain amount

of calories in you, obviously you will not grow or gain. This is an

easy way, sometimes, of making sure that at least those newtents are

going in. -- NUTants are going in.

-- nutrients are going in. Shit, oh. If you mix the potatoes

with butter you will get mashed potatoes. It is making me gag.

really like that, it is healthy drink. I prefer to brink drink that

than eggs. I can't physically fucking drink

After their liquid lunch, Scott joins Matt and Carley for a family

outing. It makes me miss my little girl, it

reinforces how amazing it is to be a parent, and how certain pursuits

can be selfish. It has made me think more and more how important

it is for me to have done this. Seeing Matt with his partner and

having the quality time they have together to watch their child go,

yes. I'm completely envious of him, he even vees minusles, but if I

could have somebody like this to share my life with, I would swap in

a heart beat, this is quality and For student Nick, it is the part of

his final year at Cardiff University. I have been looking

forward to getting back for a while, summer gets boring at home. It was

good seeing all my friends and stuff, but I was ready to get back

now. Trying to fit training around his

university social life is already taking its toll.

Just really tired. I might throw up in a bit. I shouldn't have gone out

last night, really. To check up on his progress, Mark

has come to Cardiff to pay Nick a visit. How are you getting on?

picked the worst day to come down there. I think last night was a big

one. I didn't drink, but it was a late one. A late one. I haven't had

much sleep, but it is fine, I will push myself harder now. Give me

five more reps, smooth and in rhythm. He should be smashing these

workouts, not feeling sorry for himself, due to the fact he has had

three-and-a-half hours sleep. That really pisses me off, really. He

has to stay focused and push forward.

Let's have a look in the fridge, first. Literally, there is nothing.

We have tomorrow peppers. Some stuff. And some eggs. Back at

Nick's house, Mark is seeing if he's sticking to his diet. And this

one. I don't feel you are consuming

6,500 calories, there is no way you are doing that. I'm not. If you

were consuming it t I would see it right here. Everywhere I would look

I would see it T I don't think we are consuming half that. We have to

be right on this now. It is food, food, food. You have

got to feed the machine. Yeah, I get you.

With the clock counting down, Mark is checking on the progress of

wannabe personal trainer, Martin. What I get from it is everything is

cool, is that the case? That is what I get from him. I spoke to him

on Sunday, I believe, yeah, I'll see you tomorrow, raring to go. And

then, right, 9.00, where are you? All good? I'm in the zone. Well,

obviously the zone is where I want you to be. But, I want you to be in

the zone all the time. That means all the fucking time, Martin. I

mean it. It really, really does. I have had a chat with Jason, and he

has concerns, so let's cut the bullshit, we miss a session he will

tell me and I will come back down here as well. I will. I appreciate

that. With Martin struggling to keep to

his programme, sports doctor Kay Brennan wants to talk to him.

there any of the parts of outside of the gym that you challenge

yourself in? In terms of ...Anything? This new fitness.

Ignore fitness. Ignore the gym totally. Ignore the gym totally,

what other parts of life do you challenge yourself in? Yeah. There

is nothing? There is nothing, really, to be honest. Is it really

making you happy? You know, the buzz that I get I want to be able

to give that buzz to someone back. That's why I want to become a

personal trainer. My worry, and I feed back my worry, is that all

there is is the gym. There is nothing else. Yeah, it has

distracted me, and at uni. I think it is more than a distraction. It

is like any addiction, addiction is not doing something a lot, and

that's it, it is having an unhealthy relationship with

something. You have an unhealthy relationship with the gym. I have

always called the gym my first house, you know, where I go home at

night is the place to sleep to be restful and cook for the gym. Which

is crazy. That's how it was. She obviously sees that I'm a addicted

to it. Take your top off and we will jump

on the scale and see where we currently are.

It is time for Scott's check-up, when he started training seven

weeks ago, he was set the target of losing two stone, 13 kilos of pure

muscle. We are still 4.7 kilo off target weight. As long as you keep

this up and this momentum of exercise up as well, I think you

are going to crush it! With Scott close to hitting his final target,

weeks ahead of schedule, Dr Kay has concerns. Tell me how you have been

finding it so far? Now, the fitter I get the more I want to do. I'm

itching to get a lot fitter. I feel like I like the changes I'm seeing

now, and I want that to continue. You don't really rest, you have to

sit down and do nothing, I would love it if that was one of your

goals, which was to rest. I have never ever thought of whether I do,

even at home, if I'm sat on the sofa or looking at DVDsam 6 I

chilling, I'm always on the phone - - amI chilling, I would agree, I

don't ever chill. I'm hard on myself, I feel if I don't succeed

I'm happy. The need to be the biggest, best or leanest, or suffer

the most, or be sick the most when I'm training, or run the furthest,

it has always been a self release for me, it makes me feel good about

myself, that self-worth is important to me. Nowhere did Scott

push himself harder than when competing as a body builder. It is

some feat to be that big, but you are competing yourself against the

iron in the gym and the food on the table. Preparing for a body

building show reeked havoc in his relationship with ex-girlfriend,

Caprice. When he was dieting for a competition that he did last year,

it got to the point where he was eating nearly every hour-and-a-half.

So we couldn't go out for the day. If we went out he would have to

stop, and you just couldn't get into anything, really. I didn't

realise it was a very selfish pursuit I was doing, and my

girlfriend would say, you're moody, or God, you need to eat some cashes,

thing is, maybe I -- cars, I should have. When he was into the diet I

saw a different side to him. I wasn't used to him snap, I did

notice him snap ago bit. And I -- snapping a bit. And I thought,

that's not right, you don't snap at me. It was a direct result of my

body building that the relationship broke, if I had the choice of

having the relationship or stepping on stage, I would never step on

stage. After nine weeks, it is time for

the mens' programmes to be upped for the final time. The muscle men

have been put to five sessions a week of intense cardio, they are

only allowed to consume 2,000 calories a day. Whilst the skinny

boys have now got five sessions a week of pumping iron, and are

having to eat close to 7,000 calories a day.

But Matt is falling even further behind. He hasn't really put the

effort in that I hoped he would. And it makes me angry, it makes me

angry because not everybody gets opportunities to do things like

this. I think what makes me disappointed is the lack of

motivation and he doesn't seem to have that passion and that sparkle.

I'm not having a go, do you feel like you have done everything you

absolutely can do? No, not at the moment, with work at the moment it

is hard. I really want to see you happy, and to see you happy you

have to be happy with your own performance. To do that you have to

push yourself. Basically I have to become more motivated and less lazy,

it is what I have to do, innit. Thank you, it means a lot to me

that you realise how important it is to me for you to make something

of yourself, and do something. Maybe I have made it too easy for

him, and given him everything he really needs, I need him to up his

game and show me what he wants from life, and hopefully it is a bit

more what I want from life. 12 weeks ago, two skinny boys, and

two muscle men came to London to change their bodies.

Over the past three months, they have pushed themselves in the gym.

Confronted their bad habits, and taken their diets to the extreme.

Now they are returning to London to show their mentors what they have

achieved. They will be measured and weighed

to see if they have reached their targets. First up is Scott. Scott,

how are you? You look great. I cannot believe this. Incredible,

absolutely sensational, you have lost blundles of weight. It has

been fun. 12 -- Bundles of weight. 12 weeks ago he wanted to drop

three-stone of bulk. Let's strip, you are shredded, well done. Over

the last three months, Scott has undergone a dramatic transformation,

starting with a Hulking body builder's frame, he has lost four

stone to achieve this. A more nimble, athletic body. This is

remarkable, mate. Absolutely, well done. Really shit hot. So waist we

were 37 inches. Oh my good God. You started off at 103. Shit.

I can't believe that, that is if he nominal. Scott's biggest change has

been around his waist, with a reduction of six inches, he has

gone from a 37 inch to a 31 inch waist. After pushing himself to the

limit, Scott has achieved a dramatic transformation, but going

below his target weight is a concern for Kay and Mark. We were

10.3%. Holy shit. Body fat percentage is

3.2%. I'm shocked, but I'm not surprised. I think I will go back

to the medical side of just saying, that body fat now is really at an

almost unacceptably low level. That we need to have a certain amount of

body fat, keep us warm, make sure that our immune system is able to

function well enough. You want to go off, eat ice-cream, putting on a

little bit is not a failure at all. I hope he does take away the

messages that he needs to chill out a little bit about this, go away,

enjoy himself, go on holiday. Really embrace him being a fitter,

leaner person. While Scott is getting used to his fitter body,

he's yet to see the contrast side- by-side. Wow, Jesus, ha ha. I'm

literally half the size. I look like a big body builder there, on

the left I'm so lean and slick and just, I can't believe it. It

literally look like a different person. I look at myself now and I

think that's the way to be. I need a bit more of a tan. For Scott, who

used to go to the gym every day, and eat every two hours, life is

suddenly very different. I would say before the 12 week s I

definitely had an obsession with the gym, obsessing about what to

train and eat. The hardest thing to do is chill out. A what, a pirate

ship. You can come on there too.. I think I can come on there. It is

great to bond and be there with Olivia, she loves to go here, run

around and play everywhere, chase me, play football, it is great to

mess around, I'm fitter and leaner. I'm not hot all the time, I sleep

so much better, my skin is perfect. Daddy, please come in. OK, have you

got my tea ready. Smashing the goals was great, this is my main

goal, now I can do everything with her that she can do, it is not

limited by my size or how fit I am, I can do everything with her.

There is more important things than gym, family, friends, love. I have

been overly focused on my physical self, because I haven't been able

to share it with someone. Now is a good time to have a little look out

there and see if there is a potential Mrs Francis somewhere.

It has been a more difficult 12 weeks for student, Nick, who now

faces the moment of truth. Hello, how are you. Nice to see you.

Looking well. When Nick started, he barely weighed nine stone, although

he has been working out, he hasn't been so good with the diet. Take

your top off, let's measure you up. It looks bigger than it is.

looks good. Turn to the side. arms were 11 inches. Arms are much

better, toned as hell. 12 and three quarters. Fantastic. Big increase.

Arms up in the air. Chest was 33- inches. A little pair of pecs there

I can see? 35. Great. Whilst Nick hasn't kept up with the sheer

amount of food really needed to bulk up, his biceps have grown by

an inch and three quarters and his chest has filled out by an

impressive two inches. You put on four kilos of pure, lean muscle

mass. Do you know how difficult it is to put on one kilo of muscle

mass on, it is really hard, to put four on is great. When I started

seeing the fat in areas that I didn't what to see extra fat, to

counter that I cut down my food. I was an idiot not to trust the

professionals. Whilst Nick's muscles haven't grown

as much as hoped, in other areas there have been big changes. Nick's

confidence has grown literally from there to there.

This process has taught me that I needing to out, obviously I haven't

been organised through this, and I haven't perhaps pushed myself as

hard as I should have, and if I do that in real life, I'm never going

to be successful. I think it is his sense of humour, he seems more

relaxed lately. I think it is nice having muscles and looking better,

but I don't think it makes the man, no, not at all.

12 weeks ago, muscles were everything to Martin, and he

struggled giving up the big weights. Recently he has been more dedicated,

but will it be enough. Hello guys. Look at Martin. Look at

me. Are you OK. Nice to see you. Wow.

Different man. Different man. looks good. It really looks good.

feel good, clean, fresh, fit, fast. When Martin started out he weighed

16-stone, to get the body he wanted he need to lose two stone.

-- he needed to lose two stone. Let's have a look, much better.

cutting down from six meals a day to three, and swapping power

lifting for aerobic exercise, Martin has bulked down from 16

stone to a much leaner 14-stone. 21% body fat last time, we're

hoping that you have lost quite a substantial amount, let's see.

Body fat is 14.3%. You have lost eight kilos of fat.

In 12 week, that is an exceptional body transformation.

This is going to be your picture before here.

What words come into your head? don't know, lost, confused. This is

obviously the new man, now. Which is a remarkable

transformation. Such a difference in the face. Your chest is so much

better, your abdomen looks completely different here, your

arms look like, you know, what arms should look like. If I ever walked

down your way, and see you have turned into this man, I'm going to

fucking kill you. It will never happen, trust me, I can't believe

it was to that stage, live and learn. Very well done.

Whilst Martin still dreams of becoming a personal trainer, he has

decided he also needs a life outside of training. Being addicted

to the gym has definitely kept me in a delusional state, and coming

out of that now, it is kind of like I have been released from some

institution, like prison or something like that. I have to

become normalised now. If you are looking for a

distraction from the real world, I found it in the gym. I hid there, I

hid, scared, I hid there for a couple of years. Now that I'm out

of it, I would say this is genuinely the happiest I have been.

Last up is Matt. In the final stretch his girlfriend wanted to

see more dedication and motivation. Having missed lots of gym sessions,

Matt promised to turn things around in the last few week.

Hello, nice to see you. How many sessions did you do?

managed eight. You got eight in. I'm really proud, that is awesome.

We will measure you. Top it off. weeks ago Matt weighed nine-and-a-

half ston and had less than 5% -- stone, and had less than 5% body

fat. I'm proud of the eight session. Arms were 10.5 inch inches. Now 11

and three quarters. Weight before was 59.7. Our target

weight was 76.5 kilo. We are 61.6. Matt has put on less than two kilos.

But he has still managed to increase his biceps by an inch-and-

a-half. There have been other gains. It looks like a bit more confidence.

I do feel better in myself. I have never ever thought it would have

been as difficult as it was. big thing is how you carry yourself.

And going forward, really. This was only the start for you. Of making a

big change. But the real test for Matt's

confidence is outside the gym. you want to take her and I will see

you in a bit. Before this I was always comfortable about taking my

top off in public. Even putting on that little bit of weight I have

put on has make me feel a lot better about myself. I'm looking

forward to taking the little one swimming. No ribs, I used to be

able to count literally all the bones, you can't see any of the

bones now, how fucking cool is that. Alana comes first in everything I

do, I wanted that to be the case with him too. Now I'm proud that he

feels confident in himself to come here and put her first.

I don't feel that people are still looking at me because I'm really

skinny. I feel like I'm just like a normal person again now. Even if

his body hasn't changed drastically, his mind has. For me it was up in

his head that needed alteration and change.

It is pretty good to be in the pool instead of on the sideline, playing

around around with her and having a giggle is better than thaank

standing watching them both have -- than standing watching them both

have fun. Him getting in the pool with me a is a big change for me,
