A BODYBUILDER from Ferndale has told of his gruelling dedication to the sport which has affected his family and personal life to an immeasurable degree.
Lee Roberts, pictured, a father-of-two, has spent the past 12 months training hard and sticking to a strict diet of chicken, broccoli and six litres of water a day.
The 37-year-old has vowed to stick to the “natural” side of the sport, which involves no steroid use or performance-enhancing substances.
And as a result of his drive and passion, Roberts has been crowned Natural Mr Wales 2011 at an event in Newport – one of his greatest accomplishments.
“It is very hard to stay that disciplined for so long,” said Roberts, who will stick to his strict diet until the British championships on September 18.
“It has affected my family’s life due to my dedication and the food I have to eat, but my family have seen me through.
“My kids don’t see me that often as I’m always training. They think I must be mad.
“I take them to McDonalds and I go in there with my chicken and broccoli.
“I take my food everywhere with me.”
The former Ferndale Boys Club footballer has praised Mountain Ash bodybuilder Shane Bye for preparing him.
Bye won his seventh Welsh bodybuilding title in 2008.
“I wanted to prove to people that you can become a bodybuilder without the drugs, but if you go into certain competitions people do need to take them as they have no other option,” Roberts said.
He beat off competition from 11 hopefuls in his group to pick up Natural Mister Wales title.
