Today’s NPC Athlete Spotlight is Men’s Physique Competitor Blake Bernard
My name is Blake Bernard and I’m a Nationally Qualified NPC Men’s Physique Athlete from Haverhill,
Massachusetts. I train out of Latitude Sports Clubs which is a chain of high end gyms located throughout
the area north of Boston. I have been weight training for 6 years and became more serious as each year
progressed. I originally started lifting to gain size and confidence.
After training for almost 4 years I finally learned how important nutrition was and changed my diet. I lost
body fat and gained some size which made me appear larger and leaner. These results inspired me to train
more intense and learn my body better. I now knew that nutrition was a huge part in transforming my body
in this relatively short time.
As this happened I discovered the NPC Men’s Physique Division, I was immediately interested and began
watching video of upcoming pro’s online to learn more about the division. I was already training and eating
right and felt I had the look it takes. After all the hard work I put into my physique I wanted to now put it to
the test and about 6 months out I decided I was going to prepare and compete.
My first competition was on Oct. 27, 2012 where I won Overall at the NPC New Hampshire State
Championships. I was surprised, excited, and inspired by the immediate success I had in this sport and
went full force with training and nutrition to prepare for 3 more shows throughout the year. Each show I
learned something about my physique’s weaknesses and strength’s and continued to improve on it leading
up to my fifth show on Nov.4, 2013 where I won 1st Place Class A at the NPC New England
Championships.
My first year competing in the NPC has been inspirational and I’m thankful to have the opportunity to
showcase my physique and compete. My ultimate goal for next season is to earn my IFBB Pro card.
