British Beef Bailey

Tony Bailey is one of the old school bodybuilders. He’s competed in a vast amount of shows and won numerous titles. His legacy of being a hard and densely muscled competitor was built, and motivated from the Yates era.

Tony started out in the karate and kickboxing world, idolising the greats such as Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee. Then one day when he happened to pick up a copy of FLEX magazine, that fascination switched to bodybuilding. The rest, as they say, is history…

”It all started when I saw Flex Wheeler, Chris Cormier and Shawn Ray. I was blown away by how these guys looked. This was bodybuilding at its best,” begins Tony.

It wasn’t long before he realised the many benefits weight training could have.

“Like most people, I loved getting stronger and bigger and having a six-pack,” says Tony. “I felt great about myself which was amazing, and of course, I attracted the women,” he laughs.
