0:01:08 > 0:01:13- Everyone makes an effort, - with nice clothes, make-up and hair.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- Once you settle down...

0:01:54 > 0:01:59- That sounds better than saying - my old man was an alcoholic.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04- I didn't really like the idea - of what I'd grown up with.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02- I wouldn't change it for the world.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- It saves putting water on the floor.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- It cools you down.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10- On a day like this...
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- ..you definitely need it.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- Definite.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36- There are no plans at the moment.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38- I like training people.
0:03:38 > 0:03:44- I get a lot of happiness out - of that, if they train properly.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- I don't hold anything back.
0:03:46 > 0:03:53- If the people I train - have the heart and the brains...
0:03:53 > 0:03:58- ..and have what it takes, - I'll carry on training them.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- Otherwise, I'll only train - them once. Then that's it.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- I won't sugar-coat it. - It'll be ta-ta.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- One of Hywel's trainees is Delyth - Hughes from Llanfairpwll, Anglesey.

0:04:39 > 0:04:44- After starting, I liked - the way I felt and looked.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- I haven't stopped since.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- It's a hobby, but bodybuilding - is a lifestyle too.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07- You have to keep to a strict - diet and training regime.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- I wake up about 5.00am.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23- I go straight on the treadmill - for an hour and just walk.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28- Then I prepare food for the day - and check that everything's there.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31- I work from eight to four.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- Then I go straight to the gym - for three hours, maybe.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40- I do weightlifting for an hour, - then cardio for an hour.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- I come home, - have my last meal, then bed.

0:05:58 > 0:06:03- You train and diet for months for - maybe only half an hour on stage.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08- But the buzz you get on stage - is amazing. I can't explain it.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- I really enjoyed it.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- You get the feeling on stage...
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- ..that you've achieved something.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- You're in your prime. - It feels great.
0:06:23 > 0:06:28- After coming off stage, - I want to do it all again.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41- ..for the first time, this year.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46- Keep your backside on the seat. - If it moves, it's no good.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- Today, Hywel has come to Gary - Blackstone's gym in Amlwch...
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- ..to help with Mark's training.
0:06:54 > 0:07:00- Gary and Hywel are old friends and - often coach young people together.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- Hywel Griffiths is - like a personal trainer.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- He's a hell of a character.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- I met him one day.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- I'll never forget that day.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- He kept on pushing me.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- Seven.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20- Eight. No more!
0:07:22 > 0:07:23- Off you go. Come on!
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Why wait? Come on!
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- One, two, three.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33- His training is completely different - from what other people do here.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- He's brilliant because he's unique.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- He gets results.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40- It works.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- He lives in Blaenau Ffestiniog.
0:07:43 > 0:07:49- If Hyw comes, it's a round trip - of 98 miles, just to train us.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- It's great. He doesn't - ask anything for it.
0:07:53 > 0:07:59- All I can do is give one hundred - percent effort in the gym.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- I always do.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07- If they train hard in that gym - and are on stage with us...
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- ..how are we going to train?
0:08:09 > 0:08:09- Harder.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- Harder.- - Well done. That's what we want.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13- Keep going.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- There's nothing else. Go on!
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- PANTS
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- Well done.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- A lot just totally dismiss it.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31- They say, "It's drugs. - I could do that."
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- I'm not going - to insult people's intelligence.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- There are drugs in the sport.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- But they're in all sport, cycling, - snooker, incredibly.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- They take beta blockers - to keep calm when they go for 147.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- People think if they take - magic beans, they'll grow...
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- ..like Jack And The Beanstalk.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- It doesn't work like that. - It'd be nice if it did.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01- But everyone would - look like the Incredible Hulk.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- So where are they?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- A girl said to me recently...
0:09:06 > 0:09:11- "..I'm sure you love going - to the gym to flex your muscles...
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- "..with all the girls watching you."
0:09:13 > 0:09:18- You've seen me train. if Miss World - was in the gym, I wouldn't see her.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- Obviously, I'm a man.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25- I'd notice her straight away outside - and give her my phone number!
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- I wouldn't in the gym, - because of the focus.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- We never talk when we exercise.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34- That's one of the main - things not to do.
0:09:34 > 0:09:40- In chapel, no-one talks. - People try to send a message to God.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- We try to send a message - to the muscles - shape up!
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- Try to keep it square.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- Iestyn Jones from Porthmadog - is a friend of Hywel's.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54- He has decided to compete - in the same competition as Mark...
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- ..although he's never tried before.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- You want someone - like Hyw in every gym.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04- If you don't know anything, - Hyw will put you on the right track.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- He makes you train - the way he does, which is good.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- Everything he knows, - he gives to you.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- Six. Don't let them go back.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- Up by your ear.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17- Seven.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20- Eight.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27- With people who train well, - like Mark and Iestyn...
0:10:27 > 0:10:31- ..I say I don't want them - to be as good as me.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- I want them to be better.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- Keep them straight.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- This is the way - I like to train people.
0:10:39 > 0:10:44- I don't like being here for three - hours. 45 to 50 minutes, job done.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46- Seven, eight.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47- Ah!
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- Nine. Up! Ten.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- In a way, the trainer - is the puppet master.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- The bloke you train is the puppet.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- You pull the strings.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- This is the result I want. - Totally fatigued. Job done.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- Exhausted muscles, - there's no more in him.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- Damage has been done to the fibres.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- The tank is empty, the liver too.
0:11:12 > 0:11:18- The thighs are empty. There's - no glycogen, hence they feel weak.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Even Mark felt weak. - Over to you, boys.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- I'm done. I have to drive home.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- My arms are killing me. - Turning the steering wheel is tough.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Yes. And I have to listen to Hywel.
0:11:31 > 0:11:36- Cut! Don't put that in, - or I'll get the sack.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39- I'm shaking. Are you?
0:11:39 > 0:11:40- I'm shaking. Are you?- - Yes.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- It's always the same.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- Especially in the morning, like now.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- I never train this time.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49- Me neither.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55- I usually eat three - or four meals before training.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Maybe a coffee.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58- Just a small boost.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- Just a small boost.- - Some sugar beforehand.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- The diet starts twelve weeks - before a competition...
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- ..after the bodybuilder has - gained as much weight as possible.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- The next step is to cut down - on carbohydrates...
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- ..and feed the muscles with protein.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19- It's a tough, extreme diet. Delyth - has just started on the decarbing.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- My diet is very strict.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26- For breakfast, I have All Bran - with water, then an omelette.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32- I've had a tin of tuna. All I'll eat - today is this chicken and lettuce.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38- I don't think people understand how - tough it is. But I'm determined.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- I wouldn't be tempted - to eat anything else.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- If people around me have cakes - or biscuits, it doesn't bother me.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51- Mark is still trying - to gain weight...
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- ..with a porridge - and chocolate omelette.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- It looks worse than it is.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- I enjoy it.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04- I'm under no illusions. I know it - isn't good for me. I won't lie.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- I'm hammering protein, - eating, eating, eating.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14- Some wake in the night, like babies, - to take protein every two hours.
0:13:14 > 0:13:20- If someone eats all night, - when does he have a break?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- When they go on stage...
0:13:30 > 0:13:35- ..they get light-headed, - they're close to falling.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41- When they pose on stage, they can't - hold poses. They can't even do this.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46- You're at your best - but you can't hold yourself up.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51- They look like Belgian Blues - at the Royal Welsh...
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- ..like strong bulls.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- But if you pushed them, - they'd fall over.
0:13:58 > 0:13:58- .
0:14:18 > 0:14:18- Subtitles
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:14:22 > 0:14:26- Honest bodybuilders - would tell you...
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- ..their life is really horrible.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- It's hard to have a relationship.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- It's like being a monk, in a way.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40- Not a vicar - they go around having - tea and scones with Mrs Jones.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- A monk is more segregated...
0:14:42 > 0:14:47- ..just doing his stuff a couple - of times a day and that's it.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53- As well as bodybuilding, the most - important thing in Mark's life...
0:14:53 > 0:14:54- ..is his family.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59- He and girlfriend Heidi have a son - and daughter, Enzo and Chanelle.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- Today is their first birthday.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- Are you going to clap hands for Dad?
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- I met Heidi eight years ago.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21- I've been with her for eight years.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27- Last year, we found we were going to - have children. We had been trying.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- We had a shock when - we heard it was twins.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36- They're the best thing that's ever - happened to me. They're brilliant.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- They're good children. - It's completed me as a person.
0:15:41 > 0:15:46- Having children has made - a lot of difference to me.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- It's given me a lot - more focus and drive.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- I want to make them proud...
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- ..and look back at photos - and say, "That's my Dad."
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- I'd love that.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- # Happy birthday to you #
0:16:01 > 0:16:06- Heidi is very understanding, she's - brilliant. I couldn't ask for more.
0:16:07 > 0:16:13- I'm in the process of preparing her - mentally for when I diet.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17- I always say, - "I feel sorry for you."
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- I'm really cross when I diet.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24- She says, "It'll be alright. I've - seen you worse." I'm not sure.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26- GROANS
0:16:26 > 0:16:28- Don't lean back so much.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- Slowly.

0:16:36 > 0:16:40- ..and the way it makes me - feel as a person.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- The human physique amazes me.
0:16:43 > 0:16:49- I love it, the way the body - works and how it looks.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54- When the body is at its best, - it looks amazing.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- I'm kind of obsessed - with the human form. I love it.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- Two, three, four. Well done.
0:17:13 > 0:17:19- Delyth is zero carbing. She'll eat - no carbohydrates for four days.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- She feels weak and has no energy.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27- Twelve weeks ago, I weighed - nine and a half stones.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- I hoped to get down to eight stones.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- I reached that this morning.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38- I'm down to under ten percent - body fat, so I'm really happy.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- I left school when I was sixteen.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- I went to work with Dad, - who has his own building company.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56- I wanted to gain bulk, really. - I started to go to the gym.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00- I didn't take it too seriously, - nothing constant.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- In the last few years, - I got to know Hyw well.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- I watched Hyw compete.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- I thought I'd give it a go.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10- And here I am!
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- It's hard to fit - everything in with work.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- Sometimes, I go home and don't - feel like training, but you have to.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26- Do you think you have - the determination?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- Yes, I think I do.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37- I try not to go out.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- I went out last weekend - and I'm still ill today.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43- Or not right.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- I'm guaranteed to get stick!
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- A good win last night. - They played well.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- What are you doing Saturday night?
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- You have to be - dedicated and focused.
0:18:59 > 0:19:04- I have to stick to it - when I'm on the diet.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- That'll be a job, just doing that.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11- You're hungry - and know you can't eat.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16- That's something I'll have - to try to conquer.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18- Three more.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22- Two more.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- Nine. One more.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- Ten. Well done.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- As the trainer...
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- ..I can tell them the techniques.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- I can write out - the diet, which I do.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42- I can help them with everything, - but then it's down to them.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45- Not everyone makes it to the stage.
0:19:45 > 0:19:51- They get close, but a lot - don't get to the stage.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53- It's too hard.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- It's extremely hard.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- It's a shock to my system.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58- It's a shock to my system.- - Too right.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00- Too right!
0:20:00 > 0:20:04- If you want to go on stage, - looking your best...
0:20:04 > 0:20:05- I know.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07- I know.- - We must get the best out of you.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- To look your best, - you have to train your best.
0:20:11 > 0:20:16- We won't have you on stage - just to make up the numbers.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17- I don't want that.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22- If you're both in a competition, - there's a lot of stress on me.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- I don't want to hear someone say...
0:20:25 > 0:20:31- "..Who's that clown? Who said he - was ready?" I've often heard that.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- I want you to win, boys. I don't - want you making up the numbers.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- I want to put - North Wales on the map.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- This is Delyth's - last training session...
0:20:47 > 0:20:51- ..before the big competition - in Warrington, in two days.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55- I've been decarbing - for the last four days.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- This is the last day, - thank goodness.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- All I'm eating is fish - and egg, basically.
0:21:02 > 0:21:08- I find it hard sometimes to find - the energy to get a sentence out.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13- I just find enough energy - to do what I have to in the gym.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- I'm in bed for the rest of the day.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- It's very important she doesn't - do anything silly today.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- The potential for injury - now is 99.9%.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- She's dry. Look.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30- The tendons and ligaments - are totally dry.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- A dry string will snap immediately.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- You don't have much - to say at this stage.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42- The Average Joe, or someone going to - Weight Watchers is cross and quiet.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- This is the diet state.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- It's the worst part, isn't it?
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- But there's only today to go. - Tomorrow, you'll be back up.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- You've had enough.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- I say how many.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- She's fantastic. She's there.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- She hasn't fired up - or filled up yet.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- You've seen her at her worst.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19- Her colour, she's not vocal, - she's out of steam and light-headed.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- She was hiding a lot.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27- If you weren't here, she might - have fallen or given up.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- She's bang on the money.
0:22:29 > 0:22:35- I'll be disappointed if she's not - in the top three. She'll get first.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- I've seen the others.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42- They'd have to be good - to beat Delyth on Sunday.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47- Look at the bulge on the hamstring. - Fantastic. That's what they want.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49- Perfect.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53- You're there. Brilliant. - All over, bar the shouting.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55- Put your feet up. Get your carbs in.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56- Put your feet up. Get your carbs in.- - Yes.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57- Put your tan on.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- Look at those great shoulders.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- Just count the hours.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- The last time I saw - a physique like that...
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- ..was running - towards David Hasselhoff.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- Running away from you!
0:23:09 > 0:23:10- Job done, Del.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- You've got to be proud of yourself.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- You should be.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19- She was half the girl she used to - be in her head, her colour was bad.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24- Everyone thinks you look - fantastic on stage, which you do.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- But you don't feel it.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- You're quite close to death, really.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34- You're at about 4% body fat. There's - no fat round the internal organs.
0:23:35 > 0:23:41- You're dry. We're 70% water. - If you remove that, you're dry.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43- How can organs work without water?
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- Like an engine without oil, - it seizes up. Many do.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52- Some have died on stage. They're - carried off, as stiff as a poker.
0:23:54 > 0:23:54- .

0:24:08 > 0:24:10- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- Mark's bodybuilding contest - is in 12 weeks' time.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20- He's started an extreme diet, - and has cut out carbohydrates.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24- He's filling his body with protein.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- It was a bit of a shock.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- I didn't prepare myself properly.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- I went straight into the diet.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38- I didn't lay off certain foods - week by week.
0:24:39 > 0:24:45- I should have gradually stopped - eating bread, sugar and salt.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49- I did it all the same day. - That was a shock to the system.
0:24:50 > 0:24:55- I was brain dead on the Monday - I started the diet.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- I'm slowly getting used to it.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- My body's reacting properly.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03- Jump!
0:25:03 > 0:25:08- He's gaining as much weight - as possible to get as big as he can.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- Now is the time to get rid of it.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15- He needs to lose - the fat to see what's there.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19- It's liking mining for gold...
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- ..blasting the rock - to reach the gold.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- We need to get rid of the fat - and water...
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- ..to see what's there - and bring it down to nothing.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- We're cutting out carbohydrates.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- He's hardly eating any sugar.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- This is my typical daily intake.
0:25:40 > 0:25:46- I eat meat, veg, fruit - and supplements.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51- It's all been weighed.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- Everything is the exact weight.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59- It makes it easier for me - to keep track.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04- I hear - he's struggling on the diet.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09- He's been on it almost three days, - so he must be starving!
0:26:10 > 0:26:14- He'd be terrible on a desert island!
0:26:14 > 0:26:19- The hard work is ahead of him - - he's still full of sugar.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- Mark has eaten a lot of junk.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- I won't name - his favoured establishment!
0:26:26 > 0:26:31- A lot of children go there - - that's the clue. He's lived on that.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- He'll be having withdrawal symptoms!
0:26:37 > 0:26:39- It's a shock, I won't lie.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43- I knew this would be - the biggest struggle.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- He's got twelve weeks to go.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- To be honest, the first - five or six weeks are easy.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54- He won't be with us - for the last month.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- He'll be with us in body, - but not in mind!
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- I'll either laugh or cry.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- Delyth's competition is a day away.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- She needs carbs - for muscle definition.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15- But the competing - is over temporarily for Iestyn.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19- It's a shame about Iest. - He fell ill.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- He worked too hard.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27- I didn't know his family has - a history of high blood pressure.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- He took a bad turn a few weeks ago.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33- He was ill - and couldn't get up of the settee.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- His blood pressure was sky high.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41- The doctor advised him - to have a break.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45- He was working and training - too hard, something had to give.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50- Iestyn had a fright. - Unfortunately, I've lost Iest.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- He didn't phone me for a week. - When he did phone, he was quiet.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- "What's wrong?" I asked him. - "Why haven't you phoned?"
0:27:59 > 0:28:03- "I felt bad - about letting you down," he said.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08- "The doctor said - I had high blood pressure."
0:28:09 > 0:28:11- "Don't be silly!" I told him.
0:28:11 > 0:28:17- It's not worth losing - a friend over a competition.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20- Reach out.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- Bodybuilding is tough...
0:28:23 > 0:28:28- ..but Mark has faced - much greater challenges.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- When I was 16, during the exams...
0:28:33 > 0:28:35- ..I fell ill suddenly.
0:28:37 > 0:28:42- It turned out to be cancer - - Hodgkin's lymphoma, stage 4.
0:28:42 > 0:28:47- That was quite serious. - I was rushed to hospital.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50- I had chemotherapy for nine months.
0:28:51 > 0:28:56- It affected me deeply. - I looked at everything differently.
0:28:56 > 0:29:01- It did to me, anyway. - Life is too short, for one thing.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06- I want to... how can I put it...
0:29:06 > 0:29:09- ..I want to do something - I can be proud of.
0:29:10 > 0:29:15- I could be in the pub every weekend, - or wasting my time.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18- There's nothing wrong with that.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- Enjoy life while you can.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24- I'd rather achieve - something while I'm here.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29- People will remember me - and it'll make me proud.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34- He's fought a disease - that could have killed him.
0:29:36 > 0:29:41- He's fathered two children which is - unusual after the treatment he had.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43- That's fantastic in itself.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47- It's helped to calm him down.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49- Every youngster is wild.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- Dogs don't calm down - until they're two or three...
0:29:53 > 0:29:56- ..or thirty human years!
0:29:59 > 0:30:04- It's the morning of the competition. - Delyth is preparing for her big day.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06- Wow! Are you happy?
0:30:07 > 0:30:09- Am I dark enough?
0:30:09 > 0:30:11- That's very dark!
0:30:11 > 0:30:13- I haven't seen it yet.
0:30:13 > 0:30:18- We need to sort out - my make-up and hair now.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19- Oh, my gosh!
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- How do you feel?
0:30:23 > 0:30:27- Really nervous! I'm trying not - to think about it. My mouth's dry.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31- I haven't had a drink - since midday yesterday.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33- I want it to be over now.
0:30:33 > 0:30:38- Ceri Lucey from Rhostryfan - will be supporting Delyth backstage.
0:30:38 > 0:30:43- She's also a successful bodybuilder - and an old hand at competing.
0:30:46 > 0:30:47- Hello.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52- Where's the invalid?
0:30:54 > 0:30:55- Delyth!
0:30:56 > 0:30:57- We're coming up!
0:30:58 > 0:30:58- Are you wearing knickers?
0:30:58 > 0:31:00- Are you wearing knickers?- - No.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02- I want to see your legs.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- The tan's good.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10- It looks dark now. It'll be - perfect under the spotlight.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14- Are you OK? - How much water have you had?
0:31:15 > 0:31:15- None.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17- None.- - Not a drop?
0:31:17 > 0:31:18- My mouth's dry.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21- You can't eat anything, either.
0:31:23 > 0:31:28- You have to look like a drag queen, - and wear loads of eye make-up.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32- We'll do that when we get there. - You look really good.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38- Your delt is brilliant. - Your rear delt has come out, too.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40- Go to turn to the right.

0:31:54 > 0:31:57- It'll be over in a couple of hours, - thank God.
0:31:57 > 0:32:02- I'm nervous for her. - She looks good, though.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- Cross-fingers everything will be OK.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09- Once she's put a bikini on, - it'll be fine.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12- I can see how everything looks.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- Once she's had make-up, - she's all set to go.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21- I went through - a bottle before going on stage.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25- I was rather drunk.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32- Do you want the rice cake now?
0:32:32 > 0:32:34- Yes, ten o'clock.
0:32:42 > 0:32:43- After the break...
0:32:44 > 0:32:48- ..the major competition - in Parr Hall, Warrington.

0:32:59 > 0:33:03- Gary, one of his trainers, - helps his stage moves.
0:33:03 > 0:33:09- Mark surprised everyone by entering - the Welsh UKBFF competition...
0:33:10 > 0:33:15- ..rather than the local show - he'd intended to enter.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- The Port Talbot contest - chooses the best from Wales...
0:33:19 > 0:33:23- ..to go through - to the British Championships.
0:33:23 > 0:33:28- It's quite a gamble - - and only Gary knows he's going.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30- Mark is unlikely to succeed.
0:33:30 > 0:33:35- Port Talbot is one of the most - difficult rounds in Britain.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44- I was one of the smallest - in my category.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46- That put me off a bit.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51- At five foot seven, - I was the second smallest.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55- I looked good, - and I was happy with myself.

0:33:59 > 0:34:02- It was a long day, but it was good. - I learnt a lot.
0:34:05 > 0:34:11- Everybody was congratulated - and received a medal.
