BAJAN SUN Bajan Sun Magazine SEPT 2014 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.” www.bajansunonline.com/MAGAZINE/ | [email protected] | @BajanSunOnline
