Stuart Smith
Stuart Smith has qualified for the National Amateur Bodybuilding
Association British Finals in his first year of competing. He finished
second in the NABBA North East championships. An amateur bodybuilder
from Pontefract will flex his competitive muscles in a top national
event at the weekend. Dad-of-two Stuart Smith, 32, will compete in the
National Amateur Bodybuilding Association (NABBA) British finals in
Southport on Saturday. He reached the finals after finishing second in
his class in NABBA’s north east regional heat – the first time he had
ever taken part in a competiton.
The top six at the
national finals are then eligible to take part in the Mr Universe
competition. Mr Smith, of Kipling Grove, said: “I never expected to do
so well to be honest. I will be on the stage with the best bodybuilders
in Britain. “If I come in the top six I will be competing for Mr
Universe, which would just be amazing.” Mr Smith, who is a construction
worker for British Gas, started training at the Asylum Gym in Selby 15
years ago.

Second Time's a Charm:
The 2013 NABBA Mr. Britain (short class) was then 32 year old Stuart
Smith from Pontefract, West Yorkshire (home of the cakes), in only his
second competitive contest. Smith went on to finish 6th at the 2013
NABBA Universe, in a class won by Aussie Lee Priest. With two young
children watching their dad onstage with a superhuman physique, training
with superhuman weights, one day they may want to emulate what they see
and make the choice to step onstage themselves as the grow up. He would
give 100% support if either of them wanted to compete. A lifestyle of a
bodybuilder can be a healthy one and if successful it can take you
around the world and back.
The life of a competitive
bodybuilder with aspirations of improving each day whilst still working
and balancing everything else is very difficult. He's very lucky to
have the support of a great family that understands what he has to go
through to achieve the goals. His diet is very strict, he eat every 3
hours & everything is weighed out turkey, sweet pot, broccoli etc
it’s really quite as basic as that. Consistency is the rule of thumb
when dieting.
