EXPERIENCE DID THE TRICK at the All Max National Bodybuilding & Fitness Championships at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre, over the weekend.
Rugged 35-year-old Coast Guard member Stevenson Belle towered over his rivals to capture the Mr Barbados for a third time while the durable Ramona Morgan, the face of body fitness competition for several years, captured the overall title.
It was not a cakewalk for either by any means. Belle had to be at his best to defeat a vastly improved Shaquille Lavine in the grand posedown of champions while Morgan survived a stern challenge from comeback kid Tamesha Lewis in the battle for the overall crown.
When the dust had settled, though, Belle prevailed with mass and muscle while Morgan brought grace, style and poise. (MK)
