Hugh Ross Classic Committee Chairman, Hugh Ross, has described yesterday’s Athletes/Managers meeting which took place in the Board Room at main sponsor Banks DIH, Thirst Park, a resounding success.
The meeting, which was interactive in nature, sought to address a number of issues relating to Saturday’s fourth Malta Supreme Hugh Ross Classic Body Building and Fitness Show to be held at the National Cultural Centre.
Areas of focus were the final week of preparation, training, diet, water, tanning, posing, grooming, attire, music, weigh-in process, contest attire, punctuality and backstage expectation.
President of the Guyana Amateur Body Building and Fitness Federation, Keavon Bess and other executive members were also present at the meeting, including a number of the judges that will be working on competition night.
Time was dedicated to a discussion on the judge’s expectation on competition night. There will be three female categories: bodybuilding (females who are of a more muscular body type); Miss Figure (athletes who are symmetrical and toned) and the Miss Bikini (for the softer and more feminine eye pleasing type of figure).
The male categories are: Bantamweight – up to 65kgs (143lbs), Lightweight – up to 70kgs (144-154lbs), Welterweight – up to 75kgs (155-165lbs), Light Middleweight – up to 80kgs (166-176lbs), Heavyweight (176 and over).
The respective category winners will then face off in the Overall battle to decide Mr. HRC 2014.
Mr. Hugh Ross Classic 2012, Kerwyn Clarke, will be defending his title and will face stiff challenges from a number of seasoned and not so seasoned athletes. Tickets are on sale at the National Cultural Center at $1,500 each.
