Nagesar triumphs at Novices Bodybuilding C/ships

Chetram Nagesar’s physique popped in the all right places at Saturday’s Novices Bodybuilding and Fitness Championships leading to a popping sound backstage, the sound of a celebratory bottle of champagne.

The 21-year-old Corentyne resident, brought his talents to the city and used his sharp physique to slice through the competition and take the overall spoils of the annual event held at the Theatre Guild.

Before claiming the overall trophy in the pose down of category winners, the crowd favourite, clad in a blue posing briefs, posed and flexed his way to the under 132-pound title besting four other musclemen.

Despite lacking a muscular and detailed lower body, Nagesar outfitted with rippling abdominals, obliques, pecs, wide shoulders and a slim waist brought the tools necessary to get the job done against the young and upcoming bodybuilders. The judges agreed and the patrons at the packed venue applauded in approval.

Men’s Physique 

It was not an easy choice, but the judges awarded the Men’s Physique Showdown trophy (the first of its kind on the Novices stage) to BodyMaxx’s Emmerson Campbell ahead of Fitness Paradise’s Caerus Cipriani and Bodymaxx’s Yannick Grimes. Nagesar changed into board shorts to claim fourth.

Among a group of eight physique competitors, Campbell brought the shape and stage presence the judges most wanted to see. 

He was confident, well-proportioned, well-muscled and not overly conditioned.

Junica Pluck from Buddy’s Gym was the near perfect mix of muscularity, symmetry, beauty and style and took home the trophy. Regrettably, she was the lone competitor.

The show was well coordinated and the organizers must get a thumbs up. 

Last year’s Novices champion, Sylvester Andrews and reigning Flex Night International champion, Godfrey Stoby both guest posed at the event. 

Sponsors included Fitness Express, Cyrex Gym, Al-Haaq, Subs and Salads among others. The next GABBFF coordinated event, the Senior Championships will be in July.
