The Guyana Amateur Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (GABBFF) hosted the national novices championships on Sunday evening, with Berbician Dwayne Mars flexing his way to the overall title at the Threatre Guild in Kingston, Georgetown.
Mars, the 2012 Berbice Flex Night champion, proved that his success at that event in the Ancient County was no fluke, as he powered his way to victory over the very best novices at the national championship, dubbed “Muscle Invasion”.
Mars of ‘Fitness Zone’ gym had earlier won the Light Middleweight division and was up against other category winners in the overall pose down.
Mars did well on the night, displaying ripped abdominals, well-defined quadriceps and sculpted arms in his free routine and compulsory poses.
He was up against Kelvin Bobb-Semple, who had earlier won the under-21 category, Shahid Toloram (flyweight champion), Jermaine Bacchus (lightweight champion), Rawle Cole (welterweight champion) and Anthony Peres (heavyweight).
On the distaff side, 2012 Flex Night Miss Bikini winner, Shawnell Warner, copped first place in the Miss Fitness Open, beating gym-mate Stacy Small of ‘Fitness Paradise’ into second.
Small also secured the runner-up spot to Candacy Lynch in the Miss Physique showdown.
The event was graced with the presence of Mr Barbados 2012, Stevenson Belle, who was the guest poser. The 5’7”, 215lbs Bajan certainly gave the audience its money’s worth, as he strutted his well-chiselled structure to the lyrics of Nicki Minaj’s hit song “Moment for Life”, much to the delight of the female section of the gathering.
