By Timothy Jaikarran
It is an established saying that good things come to those who wait. For Emmerson Campbell, good things come to those who train incessantly, as, on December 19, 2021, he stormed to his fifth Men’s Physique title at the Guyana Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation’s Seniors Championships.
The talented Campbell has proven time and again why he is the best in his category. In a prior conversation with this reporter, Campbell was confident that he would claim his fifth title, and so he did on Sunday night.
In an exclusive interview with this publication, he was asked his view on winning his fifth title, and Campbell said, “And yeah, it’s quite rewarding. I’ve been prepping all season, all 2021. I mean prep! And as you know, I went to CAC and got second, and I really wanted to end the season on a high. So, I’m glad that I did that, and I got the fifth title and I got a victory.”
In terms of what is next for Campbell, he revealed that it would be the CAC next year, as he is going for the pro card. Campbell related that as it pertains to his training, it was always easy, as it is something he loves to do. But the hardships of dieting and eating the same foods over and over were not something he fancied, but he nevertheless gave it his all.
Campbell used his closing remarks to thank the sponsors and media for a job well done in making the event a success. “Big shout out to Fitness Express! Big shout out to the National Sports Commission! Big shout out to DTS Trading and all the sponsors who came on board to make this event a success! Thank you guys very much! And to the media, big shout out to the media as well.”
Campbell is a two-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.
