How did you get into the world of bodybuilding?
I've always played soccer, but at 19 I left and I joined the gym just for sport. People told me I had good physique. When I was two, I began to take the training seriously and with 22 years I made my first natural competition. From there I was hooked on this world and decided to seriously prepare to compete in 2014. 


How was your 2014?
My first championship of the season was the regional de Murcia, where I got 1st place in the category classic. The following championships were interterritorial of Onil and Eusebio Esteban Open, where I got the 1st place in both; and the National Championship of Spain, where I also 4th place in the category classic.


What were your goals for 2015?
Actually my main goal was the championship of Spain in October. That's what I got ready to leave in two championships in September: the National Open of Pedro J. Villa, where I made a 3rd place and the National Open de Castellón, where I 4th ​​place in Classic. In none of these championships I got out the physicist who thought he could take and went on stage with 3kg less than the previous year.


You won the Arnold Classic Europe (ACE) 2015 in your category at the end of September. But if your goal was the championship of Spain and the championships before him, not did you get the physique you could have taken, why you introduced yourself to ACE? 
Compete or not, he was going to the ACE. I was curious and wanted to get on the stage there, but just that. It was my goal to compete there.
After the first two championships I demotivate, I returned with my old coach ever, Santi Cano, after the first championship, but my head was not in place. Not knowing that he was going to compete in the ACE, 8 days of competition, I skipped diet 3 nights in a row. Monday of the same week ACE, did my normal diet, I did not start any tuning and Tuesday the same, but the mirror did not say the same. I had gotten three kilos I was missing last year. I phoned, I wanted to go out and compete in the ACE just to try and then go to Spain.


What did you feel when you learned that the gold medal wearing your name?
I did not know whether to laugh or mourn. He not assimilated. Winning was only off the stage and hug all my people.

What this meant for you?
For me it was much more than I expected to get, so I decided to stop here this season.

Looking ahead, what are your next goals?
The moment I have not decided. Do not know if I will go to the European championship next year or I will take away time for competition to take a leap of category and focus on my work.  

In a global calculation, what it is the positive that you highlight this season?
Regarding my physical form, an improvement especially in the legs. In general, the personal satisfaction of having overcome myself above my expectations.

And the negative?
I've taken worse I am that my people, especially my girl, have had to endure my small days tired, cranky or could not get out much. So I want to thank all you have done for me.

Do you have anything else to add?   
Just to thank my family, my friends, my teammates and my coach.

What is a sport training?

According to the elementary principles of adaptation of the human being to the external environment, in order for the organism to improve its physical performance, it is necessary that it faces new stimuli that provoke new reactions (adaptations). These stimuli constitute the training load. The burden of training is understood as the set of biological and psychological demands brought about by training activities. This means that the load has to be measured and evaluated in a double plane. The stimulus must be measured by its magnitude and characteristics. The magnitude is represented by the product of amplitude and the time of application of said amplitude. The application time results from the duration of each repetition multiplied by the number of total repetitions. 1. Volume: It should be expressed by the number of repetitions performed. The total number of repetitions depends on the number of exercises, the repetitions per set, the sets per session and the frequency of the ...

FORCE TRAINING PART 1

1. Anatomical adaptation (AA) The objective of the AA phase is the progressive adaptation of the muscles, and especially of the muscular insertions in the bones, in order to withstand with greater dacilidad loads heavier during the following phases of the training. Thus, blogging burden of training should increase without the athletes feeling discomfort. The simplest method is the force circuit, because it provides an organized structure and alternates the various muscles. CIRCUIT TRAINING This type of training can sometimes be used to develop cardiorespiratory endurance, as well as strength combinations during the Anatomical Adaptations phase. - Design of the program (example): 1. • Half squats • Push-ups • Mastered • Hip extensions • Small jumps with both legs • Strides 2. • Go upstairs • Abdominals with bent knees • Trunk elevations • Jumps to a bench and to the ground • Complete squats • Medicinal ball launches 3. • Press legs • Press banking • Inclined...

Do you want to know how muscles work?

Introducing video: How our muscles work Muscle contraction is produced by an interaction of the protein molecules of actin and myosin, which in turn occurs due to the sliding between thick and thin myofilaments, this sliding causes a decrease in the amplitude of band A and zone H. Calcium (Ca) is the link between excitement and contraction of a muscle. The sarcoplasmic reticulum is specialized for its storage and release of calcium through the T system. When a nerve signal arrives at the muscle cell, a release of calcium is initiated into the fluid surrounding the filaments from special storage vesicles in the reticulum Sarcoplasmic, when combined with troponin, initiates the elimination of an impediment for a potential interaction between the actin and myosin filaments. In any case, the tropomyosin, which in the resting muscle has turned off the active sites of actin, can now activate them; In turn the actin can activate the ATP hydrolysis of the myosin heads. This allows ...
