Calvin began his trainig and competing in Zimbabwe. He went to represent Zimbabwe at World Championships in Paris, Malaysia & Russia where placed 14th in the Middleweights. From 1992 to 2000 he entered NABBA, WABBA and EFBB shows, winning the South- East and Mr South Britain. With NABBA he went on to 2nd place at the Novice Britain finals, on 3 occassions winning his class in 1999.
In 2006, after 7 years break, Calvin was back at training and competing.
Here's what he says: "It was good to end 2006 by winning the NABBA Novice British Finals because it was the 2nd show I had done in 2006 and the 2nd show in 7 years.
My priorities for 2007 are to open my body building shop within the gym I train in. The export orders to Greece are constantly growing and I want to repeat that in Italy. I am hoping to do about 4 shows in 2007.
I've had the pleasure of training at the Pumping Iron & Fitness Gym run by Zak Pallikaros. It's what a gym should have: quality heavy duty equipment and atmosphere that you don't want to leave. Zak's a perfectionist and the standard of his gym speaks for itself. He is a true ambassador of the sport and is helping me out with my training and diet.. .."
On LA Muscle supplements Calvin says:
"I can't do without the new PRO-TEIN. It helped re-define the mass I had. Even at 95kgs that I was on the day it's the best there is especially when you are dieting and competing. The LA Whey, Explosive Creatine and the LA Whey Protein Bar are the products I rely on especially with the frequent flying and travelling I do abroad....."
In 2006 Calvin won Class 2 Medium Height at the NABBA Novice British Finals held on Sunday, 19th November. Bellow are backstage photos from the competition.
