David Guest (born (1978-02-01)1 February 1978 in Bristol) is an English bodybuilder and weightlifter. He is a multiple British champion in weightlifting and a world champion in bodybuilding.
"So I thought I'd try my hand at bodybuilding instead, which is a very different thing. It's not about physical strength, it's entirely about looking right. You're exercising to break the muscle down, which allows it to grow back bigger."
— Guest discussing his sports channeling modification.[1]
Guest was born in Bristol, South West England. He has had a successful career in weightlifting.[2] He started competing at the age of 14.[3] He is an eight-time winner of British weightlifting championships, being awarded with gold medals in 1994−2002.[3] He was selected to represent England at the Commonwealth Games.[1] Being approximately 30 years old, he decided to renounce his weightlifting career, considering that its conditions negatively affect his joints. He became a bodybuilder.[1]
Guest founds his major bodybuilding inspiration in Dorian Yates.[3] He's a member of the National Amateur Body-Builders' Association (NABBA). In 2009 he placed first four times during two different contests: at NABBA's West Britain and England Championships he was a Class 2 (Medium-Tall) category and overall winner.[3] In Spring 2010 he became Mr Britain; he competed in Great Britain Championships in Southport and was honoured with two gold medals, in Class 2 and overall category.[2] The same year he participated in the world's most prestigious bodybuilding competition, Mr Universe. He placed second in Class 2 category. In 2011 Guest became an overall winner of NABBA's England Championships. He also placed first in Class 2 (Medium-Tall) category at Mr Universe.[4]
During competition season, trying to get his body in perfect shape, Guest works out twice a day.[2] His contest weight is approximately 254 lb (115 kg
