Training 
and competing is a personal sport. We often get into training early on for ourselves. Usually it is part of a team conditioning program. It’s important to remember the team. Though you are training for yourself…don’t forget you may be training for more than just yourself.
People 
make the mistake of doing the same body part on the same day every single week. The body recognizes this and it can stop your desired results dead in their tracks! I see it in the gym every day, Monday is national chest day, and Wednesdays seem to be national leg day (for those few that actually do legs). Switch up your routines and days to get the results you want!
We 
are here with IFBB MP Pro Angel Cordero. Congrats on earning your pro card in the first year of MP! What made you decide to compete in the Men’s Physique Division?
I competed in my first BB show in 2009 and got smoked by good friend and now IFBB Pro Seth Feroce who won the overall. Seeing the package I needed to bring, I then decided to take time off to grow. I was going through the grind trying to bulk up like a lot of fellow competitors and got up to about 215 lbs. I ended up getting into a car accident and catching pneumonia within a 3 month span and lost almost all my gains. As I was rehabbing from my accident and getting over being sick I found out they were coming out with the new division and talked to a good friend of mine National competitor Brian Hoydic about prepping me for my first show. The rest is history.
What 
compromises would you make to win it all? In any industry, at some point you find yourself backed against a wall. You are asked to be someone you’re not, asked to do something that you’re not comfortable with, or asked to change or deny who you are as a person. How far are you willing to go? How will your compromise really help you in the long run? Before you get too far along in your career, take note of these four strategies to insure you stay true to yourself.
Create a clearly-defined vision: The best way to stay true to who you are is to clearly identify and define your vision. What do you stand for?
We
are here with Charles Anderson, thanks for joining us and Congrats on stepping BACK onto the stage! Now Charles you have had an interesting and challenging path to the MP stage. Can you tell us about what happened to push you towards the MP division?
Well, first of all, thank you for giving me this opportunity to share my story. I was a NPC bodybuilder you a little less the 11 year, and have won my class in a few different shows, but after a poor showing at the Alaska State Championships, I had a heart attack! This forced me out of training in a bodybuilding mentality and switching over to a more cardiovascular style of training. This gave me a new lease on life, and competing in a Men's Physique competition here in Alaska
What did you learn from the experience and how has it changed your view of training and competing?
Well, the biggest thing I've learned is to not put your health at risk for any reason or anything.
CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid)
Looking for support to aid in lean muscle development? Then look no further. CLA uses stored body fat as fuel and promotes recovery from intense exercise. With added Immune system health, Anti-catabolic (anti-muscle-breakdown) and Anti-oxidant benefits, there really is no reason not to add a little CLA to your stack.
The actual serving sizes will vary for CLA depending on the product you purchase. But you'll see the best-intended results by taking anywhere between 600 and 1000 mg per day. Be sure to read the package directions for the particular product you pick up and follow them accordingly.
