Ryan Terry was working as a plumber who enjoyed going to the gym
when I grew up I did lack confidence quite a lot and that's what kind of spurred me
into the gym. a friend put him forward for a modeling competition and the photo
was used by a supplement company. it's still very surreal being that guy on
that poster from being an average plumber to to being that guy on the
poster. but he wasn't always comfortable in front of the camera. I didn't know the
first thing about all the posing and it was really really
uncomfortable for me. as his body developed so did his confidence
I'd loveto take this further see I can make a career in doing what I like and maybe
break America if I can. and he certainly did that Ryan became a
multiple men's physique champion respected around the world with 1.5
million followers
