Former England heavy gets jacked

Former England rugby prop Phil Vickery has showcased a dramatic body transformation by competing in a bodybuilding contest at age 50. Vickery, known during his playing days as the 'Raging Bull', took to the stage at a PCA event held in Hull after completing an intensive training regime. He later shared photos of his transformed physique on social media.

Vickery stated that weightlifting and the gym provided significant mental and physical benefits, emphasizing the discipline required for the stage. He credited his coach, Dave Campbell, for his support throughout the process. Vickery's new physique also earned praise from former teammate Matt Dawson, ex-England player James Haskell, and Australian snooker player Neil Robertson.
