Men’s Physique competiton in Spain
Earlier this year, I competed at the GBA Canarian Classic competition in Spain, and got 1st place in the Men’s Physique Novice category, and 2nd place in the Men’s Physique Open category – which I’m really pleased with.

HOW TO BURN FAT AND GAIN MUSCLE
Don’t neglect cardio. I do a weekly 5k run as a minimum, which is steady state cardio, but HIIT (high intensity interval training) is also very effective at burning fat.. e.g. on the rowing machine or sprinting.
