CANADIAN PHYSIQUE ALLIANCE FALL ISSUE SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER | Page 70

BLAKE COURSE From then until now, I have competed my way to a national class win in the ‘Classic Physique D’ division at the 2018 Canadian Nationals show (I am coming to win this year)! Within that time, I have studied bodybuilding through my mentor Dorian Hamilton, various books, online forums and I became an ISSA certified bodybuilding specialist. This has allowed me to build a roster of young aspiring competitors who I coach and mentor through various CPA shows. Myself and my friend Brandon Mendoza have recently combined efforts under the name ‘Team Vision’. Team Vision is for anyone looking to elevate their standards. Whether they are first time competitors or seasoned pros, we work together to bring them in at their absolute best. My name is Blake Course and I am a 27- year-old classic physique competitor Family is also very important to me and I from Burlington, Ontario. To me, the feel that is necessary to point out as I CPA is THE road to the IFBB and a v dream for all of us living and involved at the CPA have been great competing in Canada. I quickly recognized the leagues legitimacy when I joined in 2016 – from the posing seminars, athletes’ meetings, to the stage I thought “these guys are for real”. believe the CPA is no different. Everyone teachers and motivators in bodybuilding they are part of the reason we have so many top pros competing at the highest level. I feel very fortunate to be a part of this organization Finally, I will say that I am looking forward to involving myself further in the industry and help bodybuilding continue to grow here in Canada.
