GBBFF’s Seniors Championships December 18, NCC: Campbell looking for 6th Men’s Physique title

…still hunting elusive gold at CAC

By Timothy Jaikarran

The Guyana Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation’s Seniors Championships are set for staging at the National Cultural Centre on December 18, and five-time winner Emmerson Campbell is preparing to grab his sixth Men’s Physique title as he aims to ‘better’ his previous physique and subdue his opponents in the battle on stage.
When Campbell was invited by this publication to share his assessment on how his training is progressing, he responded, “I’m always excited to step on stage and try to beat my last physique, and battle it out with the boys. It’s going to be quite competitive and entertaining. I’m hearing a lot of chatter about who’s coming to dethrone me, so they are gunning for me, and I’m all for it. Training has been smooth, and everything is going according to plan. This prep has been one of the best. I’m injury free and I’m ready to go for the sixth Mr. Guyana title.”
Regarding his mindset leading up to the competition, Campbell explained that it is pretty much “tunnel vision”, as he is focused on getting the win and heading back to CAC in Aruba next year to go after the elusive Pro Card, as he has won two silver medals back-to-back at CAC. He says he believes it is now his time for the gold.
Campbell clarified that in the hunt for his sixth title, on a scale of 1-10, his confidence level is perhaps 100. “There are no COVID protocols, as was the case in the previous years; so (everyone) come out and show your support for the athletes who have been working their tails off for months in and out the weight room. The nation’s best physiques will be on one stage battling for the top honours,” Campbell has reminded in regard to the December 18 event.
This highly decorated Guyanese has touted that, come December 18, fans can expect a more confident, complete, sharp and full package from him, as they are going to feel that what they are witnessing is coming from a movie.
Campbell is also expressing gratitude to his friends and family members, and especially to Jamie McDonald of Fitness Express, who has been a pillar of support throughout his competitive fitness journey.
Campbell is a three-time CAC silver and bronze medalist (El Salvador, Dominican Republic and Mexico); five-time Mr Guyana Men’s Physique Champion; three-time Stage of Champions Men’s Physique Champion; and Darcy Beckles silver medalist (Barbados). He is also a Guyana Olympic Association (GOA) and National Sports Commission (NSC) Sports Journalist of the Year, and a certified personal trainer and nutritionist.
