Muscular Development firma a Jose Raymond
Casi por aclamación popular de los seguidores de esta revista y web estadounidense, el culturista profesional IFBB Jose Raymond ha entrado en el equipo de competición de esta empresa editorial.
El mismo Raymond acaba de ganar la categoría 202 en el New York PRO de mayo pasado. Siendo además uno de los grandes favoritos para disputar el triunfo del Olympia 202, el último de la historia antes de pasar a ser 212, a English, David Henry y a Flex Lewis al que superó en este evento neoyorkino de manera discutida para muchos. El hecho de que Lewis sea galés no ayuda demasiado en USA…
El fichaje de un competidor 202 por parte de MuscularDevelopment es un síntoma más de que esta categoría está teniendo un impacto muy superior al que nadie podía preveer antes de su puesta en marcha. Con premios en metálico aún muy por debajo de la categoría OPEN, su interés sin embargo no hace si no subir. Tanto que como se ha comentado antes su límite de peso se ha aumentado para que entren físicos más grandes ya que 212 libras, o 96.4 kgs es una cifra respetable casi en el límite de los 100 kilos.
El historial competitivo de Jose Raymond es realmente impresionante:
