Little did we know, we would make one of our loyal reader's dreams come true when we chose Samuel Urwin of County Durham, England, as the winner from 25 contestants in the "100 Days MUSCLE AND FITNESS Challenge: 100 Days to Ultimate Transformation." Here, Urwin—board name SammyU—discusses how he won the challenge using his very own natural diet and exercise regimen, whittling his six foot-tall, 207-pound physique to an incredible 188 pounds with only 7% bodyfat, proving that you don't need to be Ronnie Coleman to look freakin' awesome.
M&F: What inspired you to enter this contest?
Samuel: I've always had a dream about competing in a bodybuilding contest, and this gave me an opportunity to realize my potential—to see if I was "good enough," so to speak, for the real thing.
M&F: How long have you had an interest in bodybuilding?
Samuel: I became interested when I picked up my first bodybuilding magazine at around 14 years of age, which, funny enough, was MUSCLE & FITNESS! I was always a slender kid, and after I realized I wasn't good enough to play tennis professionally, I wanted a bigger and stronger physique. So, I went to the local news agents and picked up the first magazine I saw, and became hooked from then on.
