Eddy Wilson Rules.. Again at Roger Boyce World Cup

Eddy Wilson, emerged victorious, claiming his second title at the Roger Boyce IFBB Elite Pro World Cup. The Garfield Sobers Sports Complex in Barbados erupted in cheers on May 11th, 2024, as they witnessed a historic display. Athletes from Suriname dominated the Men’s Bodybuilding category, securing the top three positions in a remarkable sweep.

Building a winning physique requires a harmonious blend of factors: substantial muscle mass, razor-sharp definition, and a balanced, symmetrical appearance. This intricate balance demands dedication to training, meticulous attention to detail, and sometimes, strategic manipulation of water and nutrients in the lead-up to the competition.

The competitors on stage showcased exactly that. Their sculpted physiques boasted visible muscle striations that rippled with each flex, a testament to their low body fat percentage that allowed the judges to scrutinize the intricate details of their musculature. Each athlete possessed an impressive aesthetic, with no muscle group overpowering another.
