Strong but sensitive Ben Zorn was one of the favourites to become the new Bachelor after being booted out of the most recent season of The Bachelorette.
And since the show ended, the 26-year-old has quite literally become even stronger.
The fitness coach is now a bodybuilder, and competed in his first competition in San Francisco over the weekend.
Ben Z. (as he was known on the show) shared some photos from the event on his Instagram, showing off his bulging biceps and ripped torso as he posed shirtless.
The reality star revealed that he is down to 210lbs, sharing photos of him first at 300lbs and then at 230lbs to document his transformation.
‘12 weeks ago I set out to challenge my mind and body harder than ever before,’ he revealed on Instagram. ‘These last few Months have had a lot of ups and a lot of downs but I could not be Happier in my life!
‘I stayed true to myself, I worked my butt off in the gym and ate extremely healthy! I AM PROUD TO SAY IM ALL NATURAL! It can be done!’
Ben added that he ‘devoted thousands of hours’ to preparing for the competition, but said it’s only a temporary ‘chapter’ in his life.
According to TMZ, he came in eighth place in the competition, out of 15 contestants. But Ben says that he still feels like a winner just for taking part.
‘Winning to me was setting a goal to get on stage, put myself out there, and do something I never dreamed possible!’ he shared. ‘Thankyou to Everyone who supported me.’
Now, Ben is looking forward to getting back to his regular routine – which will still include a lot of fitness.
‘I cannot wait to get back to my love for COOKING, get my beard back, and enjoy life with friends and Family!’ he wrote.
Ben came in fifth place on season 11 of The Bachelorette, before being sent home by Kaitlyn Bristowe.
While many fans hoped he would be named the next Bachelor, that title went to Ben Higgins, who came in third place.
He is currently filming the 20th season of the show, which airs in January.
Meanwhile Kaitlyn got engaged to Shawn Booth in the Bachelorette finale, and the happy couple are still going strong.
