Like powerlifting, the sport of bodybuilding is gradually gaining and regaining popularity in the Ancient County of Berbice.
The name Vijai Rahim is well known in the powerlifting fraternity and beyond and he is a home grown and bred Berbician. The search is now on for a Rahim in the bodybuilding circle so this evening’s Central Corentyne Flexout competition is a step in the right direction in this regard.
Hosted by Messer Raheem Ali and Kumar, this event will mark the official launch of the House of Pain Gym, a welcome addition to the many other existing gyms in the area and Guyana by extension.
Expert assistance for the event is being provided by Flex Night Incorporated, and experienced group headed by former GABBFF President and General Secretary, Donald Sinclair.
With the return of Flex Night to the bodybuilding calendar, the sport can only get better and will certainly regain the popularity that it once enjoyed a big plus for the Guyana Amateur Body Building & Fitness Federation.
Based on reports emanating from the Ancient County, the entire Corentyne area is buzzing with excitement as they brace for what is anticipated to be an entertaining evening at the House of Pain Gym, located at Ankerville, Port Mourant.
Traditionally, Berbicians and fierce lovers of sport and will be out in their numbers to support their local athletes. Added entertainment for the fans will take the form of guest posing by reigning Mr. Guyana Devon Davis and Ms. Flex Night Best Legs winner Nadina Taharally, two experienced practitioners of the sport.
The blinds are expected to be drawn at 19:00hrs when it will be time for the dozen athletes to showcase their hard work they have put in over the past few months to get their bodies in shape.
