Despite advancing in age, Canadian based Guyanese body builder Eustace
Abraham who will celebrate his 46th birthday on December 30th next, continues to hold his own among the younger generation of athletes competing locally.
Abraham, who makes the trek back to his homeland to compete in the Guyana Amateur Body Building and Fitness Federation marquee event – seniors – kept that commitment on Sunday last when he flexed against fellow athletes at the National Cultural Centre in the 2016 edition of the show which saw Kerwyn Clarke winning a fourth consecutive Mr. Guyana title after first claiming the Light Middleweight category, Abraham topped the Heavyweight class staving off challenges from six other competitors.
Abraham is however of the view that he did enough and presented a better packaged body which should have landed him the Mr. Guyana crown.
”I am not satisfied with the decision; I had over 40 pounds of muscle over the winner and knew I had a better body on stage. I don’t know what the judges were looking for. I was confused with the decision but not upset. It just pushes me to become even better and I do offer congratulations to Mr. Clarke on his triumph.”
A former Mr. Guyana himself, winning against the likes of Sylvan Gardner and Bruce Whatley among others, Abraham stated that he adapted to a new life style where his body will always be out, two weeks from a show.
”It means my body will always be unique and I won’t ever have an off season body anymore. In this new undertaking, I will always be ripped, striated and shredded for the rest of my life.”
Abraham has on his radar achieving his IFBB Pro Card in the Masters Division and Men’s Open and is optimistic that with the new lifestyle, he will attain same.
”From here on in, every time I grace the stage, you will see a different person sporting a unique body.”
Despite, Abraham says that he is committed to being here since he would like to see the local athletes strive to lift the bar and his presence can aid in that regard.
”I want to keep reminding the local competitors that they have to have the ability to do better each time and that’s my inspiration because I just want to show these youngsters that I can be twice their age and still possess muscles that they have to aspire and work hard for.”
He also shared that Guyana has some promising athletes and with the attitude and discipline, they can go a far way in the sport.
”I see a lot of guys here with exciting potential. Guys with good shape, symmetry but needs the correct guidance if they are to succeed. I aim to visit some of the gyms, identify a couple of guys and work with them directly in the next couple of weeks. I will identify one athlete in Berbice, Linden, West Demerara and Georgetown to help them attain their goals.”
