If Nicholas Albert lives up to his boasts, he will be crowned the next Mr. Guyana next Saturday night at the National Cultural Centre .
In fact, he will be the youngest muscleman to hold the prestigious title of Mr. Guyana.
Albert who turned 23 last month is brimming with confidence ahead of the flagship National Senior Championship. The highly anticipated year end spectacle is set to attract the cream of the nation’s bodybuilding athletes on one stage.
Albert nicknamed ‘Creed’ plans to use his sharp physique to slice through the competition.
The gold medalist at this year’s CAC Championships in Aruba told this newspaper yesterday that he has made improvements in his size and conditioning and he feels the time has arrived for him to take his seat on the local bodybuilding throne. “I will win it, that is a must” Albert declared yesterday. He added, “I want to be the best here and I want to continue to represent Guyana with distinction. I want to put this country more on the map.”
Albert added “I have full confidence in myself and I believe that I will win it.”
‘Creed’, a popular trainer at Space Gym, said he has had his hard hat on, putting in work, in an out the weight room and has his blinders on with his eyes on Guyana’s highest bodybuilding prize.
“I have been putting in the work and I am pushing 100% to meet where I want to meet. I am feeling it.” If declared the winner, the 190-lb mass of aesthetic muscle will join rarified air as only a few men can lay claim to holding the coveted title of Mr. Guyana. Even more impressive he will create history as being the youngest. Albert thanked Jamie McDonald, CEO of Fitness Express for playing a major role in his fitness career thus far.
Will Albert become the new King of local bodybuilding or will his arch rival, Darious Ramsammy’s reign continue? The answer will be known in seven days. Doors are set to open from 19:00hrs and tickets cost $3000. See you there. (Emmerson Campbell)
