Prior to getting institutionalized John Goudy showed clear signs of delusions of grandeur. Here he is claiming to be a world class strongman whilst having made "mindblowing" gains under the guidance of a well known sex offender.
"Since I started being trained by Paul, my gains in size and strength have literally been unbelieveable. I have become so strong that i have been able to represent my country at international powerlifting events and bring home a silver medal in the 2006 WPF world bench press championships.
I have also won numerous other powerlifting accolades and set Irish records. The sheer size and muscle I have also gained is mindblowing. Adding 6' to my chest, 3' to my arms, 4' to my legs and inches to my shoulders all whilst getting leaner and keeping my waist trimmer.
The gains in strength are equally astounding. My bench press is up 55kg, squat 100kg, deadlift 50kg shoulder press 40kg. I now chin and dip with weights added and am one of the biggest and strongest in my gym despite only being 22! I train primarially for strength and size and there is no doubt in my mind that Paul McIlroy is the best trainer in Ireland and whatever your goals he will help you achieve them, then exceed them. I highly recommend Paul to anyone, any age from any walk of life. My photos are testament to his fantastic training methods and philosophies. "
