Bodybuilding champion, Kerwin Clarke is one to adapt to challenges in and out the gym.

The two-time Central American and Caribbean gold medalist and five-time Mr. Guyana winner

told this publication that he is adapting to the reality of the pandemic Covid-19.

Clarke, 32, says that the challenges of the pandemic are best alleviated when there is an adaptation. Being unable to utilize the machines at the closed Space Gym, his home away from home, has been one of biggest obstacles. 

However, he is now putting more focus on his nutrition to maintain his award winning physique.

The current situation is the current situation,” said Clarke yesterday “and there is nothing we can do about it besides adapting to life’s changes.”

The father of one has been practicing social and physical distancing, wearing masks and washing his hands regularly.

“These things are like second nature now,” Clarke stated.

“Muscles have memory and whenever the gyms re-open again, we will return to our normal training regimen but we all know nutrition play an integral role in the growth and development of the physique. So I’ve adapted to the situation by taking a more meticulous approach to nutrition in order to maintain,” he declared.

Clarke, who still has been pumping iron at a private facility, encouraged all readers of this article to “exercise and improvise” and do whatever means of cardiovascular activity that can be done in a safe space preferably at home. 

“Exercise is important in keeping the immune system high”.

The decorated muscleman is optimistic that Guyanese can come out as stronger champions following the pandemic.
