Nicholas Albert, Sherene Williams, Kheon Evans and Romeo Hunter were among the standout gladiators when the Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation (GAPF) staged its Sub Junior/Junior and Novices Championships yesterday at the auditorium of St Stanislaus College.
Albert, who is renowned for his bodybuilding exploits, traded in the tan and posing trunks for the singlet and chalked up his palms to earn the overall male Junior title. Lifting in the 93kg class, the 21 year-old muscleman who has competed with distinction on the local and international stage in bodybuilding showed his strength prowess on the platform. He had a best squat of 185kg, a best bench press of 132.5kg and a mammoth 227.5kg deadlift to add more hardware to his trophy cabinet. Albert’s, 74.78 IPF points were the highest among all junior lifters and he earned the coveted award for the best male junior.
