CAC Body Building & Fitness Championships: Defending Mr Physique champ brimming with confidence
Defending Central American & Caribbean (CAC) Body Building & Fitness Championships gold medallist Emmerson Campbell, who captured the title in Aruba last year, is brimming with confidence ahead of this year’s event slated to be staged right here in Guyana.
Speaking recently about his preparations, the reigning champion said his training has been going well and he is ready and confident in defending his title and winning the Pro Card.
“My supplementation, cardio, lifting weights has gone well, everything is as it should be, not much I can complain about at my end, I’m ready and confident to claim gold once again,” Campbell said.
According to the defending champion, who displayed his ripped and well-defined body, this year will be his seventh at CAC and to win the Pro Card in front of family, friends and the Guyanese public will be an outstanding achievement for him, bringing a feeling of elation.
“To be honest last year, I thought I won the Overall and Pro Card and when I heard the name of the eventual winner, I was a bit shocked, but I said you know what? I am going to improve all aspects of my physique – size, symmetry, conditioning and everything so that I cannot be denied this year,” Campbell reflected.
Returning home, he made the decision to put his head down, train his body to not only improve one part, but every aspect of his physique and according to him, he has achieved that goal, especially in his back.
“I cannot wait to get on stage and showcase my hard work and I want to encourage everyone to come out and support the event and the Guyanese athletes and make it a memorable occasion,” Campbell concluded.
The championships will be staged on October 19-20 at the National Cultural Centre and more than 250 athletes from 20 countries, including Guyana, are scheduled to participate.
Among the sponsors on board are Fitness Express; Twins Manufacturing; the Ministry of Culture, Youth & Sport; the National Sports Commission and the Guyana Olympic Association.
