This then earned him a shot at the Mr Guyana title, in which he came in third.
In a sit-down with this publication Peterson said, “When it comes to certain areas, preparation was great, it was up to par. The only thing that was a bit off was my posing, I caught cramp twice on stage but nevertheless I was able to place amongst the top three for Mr Guyana. Now that everything is over, I will continue training as its now the time to go back to the drawing board. It’s not all about getting bigger and stronger, it’s about symmetry and what condition because I was the biggest one on stage and I didn’t have that much symmetry but I was able to defend my title in the heavy weight category”.
Griffith also noted that in terms of training, it required a lot of hard work— such as intense training, changes in diet and a lot of dedication.
Griffith also related that while he is happy to retain his category, he will now be focused on capturing the title of Mr Guyana in the future.
Griffith, who is known for his powerlifting abilities, opined that things were not a bed of roses for someone like him since he was made to focus on dieting and conditioning, which is not required in powerlifting.
However, he conveyed that even though he had challenges, he was able to keep his focus, noting that this is just the icing on the cake for him as he expects more in the future.
In closing Griffith said, “I would love to say thank you to Fitness Express, Space Gym and few other people who want to remain private for the support in and out cause without them and most of all God almighty for bringing me this far. For now, it’s back to training and focusing on the slack screws and be a bit better”.
