JOE BOURNE
Like many other body builders, Joe’s dad started him off in
he placed 2nd in the Mr. Cac Light Middle Weight 2013
his present field, being the one who gave Joe the weights
competition as well as 2nd in the Darcy Beckles Classic 2012
which they had home. From there Joe went to Zenith Barbell
and 2013 Open Class.
Club where he met Darcy Beckles, Patrick Nichols and Tony
Parris among others who taught him a lot more about training. Today, Joe trains at Fitness Zone Inc. and occasionally
Big Kens Gym located Amity Lodge. Joe’s commitment to
training has granted him success over the years, but his most
recent achievements came at the Mr. Bridgetown 2013 competition; the Mr. Barbados Middle Weight 2013 competition
and the Mr. Sports world Classic 2013 Masters where he
placed 1st in each event. Joe’s success streak continued when
Joe’s inspiration and motivation comes from people and
things around him and not necessarily from any particular
bodybuilder. He takes whatever he needs from the people
he meet. As he has stated, ‘helping others achieve their
.
fitness goals is very motivational and knowing that people
look to me for advice that in itself is motivation.’ Joe
attributes his success to an array of people, with special
thanks being given to God, the Fitness Zone crew, Nature's
Discount (now fresh vitamins), Nicole Carter (his dietician),
Hoskins Worrell aka biscuits (his training partner), his
family and friends.
Before, leaving Joe shared a bit of advice for upcoming
bodybuilders - “stay focus, love what you do, train hard and
most importantly expect disappointments along the way and
use them to make you stronger.”
