Gary said,
“I’m extremely proud to have been named runner-up in the UK Championships, the level of competition was extremely high. To be recognised in this way is fantastic. Over 20 athletes were competing for the coveted trophy, which included some of the best body-builders throughout the UK.
He added, “I have also qualified for the 2020 World Championships in Birmingham next May where I will come up against the best body-builders across the globe.
