Gardner for Musclemania Universe C/ships this month end

Jun 13, 2013 Sports

 

Professional bodybuilder Sylvan Gardner is set to compete at the Musclemania Universe Championships set for the Miami Beach Resort on June 28-29, 2013.
The Five time Central American & Caribbean Bantamweight Gold medalist has been undergoing intense training ever since last October, upping the ante in the past three months in order to ensure that he is in the best shape ever in order to win this time around, his fourth try.
Gardner, who won his Pro Card in 2008 in New York, says he is aiming to be a bit heavier this time around given the competitiveness of the athletes at this level.
“The aim is to definitely be bigger; my training regime has been tailored to ensure that I weigh in at around 156 pounds for this competition. At the moment I am tipping the scales at 164 pounds. The last time at this completion in 2011, I weighed in at 150 pounds”.
Over 500 athletes will be competing at the Musclemania Universe Championships which began back in 1991 as bodybuilding’s first and only tour of world class level staged competitions.
Early on, Musclemania took a bold and challenging step forward by declaring that this exciting event would become a natural event. It would soon become America’s most popular natural bodybuilding competition.
The following categories will be contested: Open Men – Lightweight – Up to 155 lbs. Middleweight – Up to 175 lbs. Light heavyweight – Up to 195 lbs. Heavyweight – Over 195 lbs.
Junior Men (22 years of age & younger) – Lightweight – Heavyweight.
Women will compete in one division as will the Masters (Over 40 Years of Age). The Professional Division will be Prequalified Only.
The respective weight classes will be determined at the show following registration.
In relation to sponsorship, Gardner said that he has written to a number of entities requesting their assistance and is awaiting responses from them which he hopes would be shortly since is scheduled to leave Guyana on June 26 for Miami. (F. Wilson)
