… says medal performance re-ignited his drive

LYDON ‘Muscles’ Burnette transformed his body in a few months for the Giovanni Classic, which was held late last month in Aruba.

He said that his third-place finish is testament to his ability to still perform at a high level in the sport.

The 51-year-old finished third in the Masters Division of the International Tournament, a dramatic improvement from his fourth-place finish in the Masters Division at the 2021 Guyana Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (GBBFF) Senior National Championships in December.

“I had to change my total body; it did not have one particular body part that I focused on. From Seniors in December to now, is a whole new me … I had to work very hard to change my body.”

The veteran trainer added that to achieve his transformation, he changed his diet and increased the intensity of his workouts.

“I had somebody preparing my meals for me (Sunrise Kitchen), so I just had to focus on my training.”

OVERALL, ‘MUSCLES’ CALLED THE COMPETITION GOOD
He said that his aim is to increase his size at his next event. He currently weighs 178 lb and is motivated to move up to 190 lb.

Along with Muscles, Yannick Grimes competed in the event and he also copped a bronze medal, in the Men’s Physique competition.

Meanwhile, the GBBFF in a release, congratulated the two bodybuilders on representing Guyana at the event.
