Nick Jones’ debut at the Welsh Natural Bodybuilding championships’ qualifier, on the 29th June 08.  Not only did Nick win his novice class convincingly, but went on to win best posing, best legs, and also won the over-all best physique of the day. All on the same stage, a remarkable achievement and rarely ever seen.
In order to be ready for the challenging competition Nick had to go through a strict regime and said “I trained solid for 12 weeks,” and  “It took loads of dieting, lots of early mornings and no beer.”  “Before the competition I was 15 stone and I went down to 13.”

24HRGYM Team Vernon Montgomery said “He will go on to do well in the finals, and anyone going to the finals should look out for this up and coming star”. “Not only can he be in the same condition as this recent show of low body fat, but actually improve on it by dropping a few pounds to be slightly lighter and tighter”. “Nick has an ace card when it comes to understanding calories and protein, far better than any others in his class”

Nick made front page news in Swindons’ local paper and the 24HRGYM Team were there to support him on the day and to congratulate him and wish him continued success.
