When is the body at its best?

Angelo R Amirez De Cartagena
The Fitness Club

More than the one-two punch of a strenuous workout routine and strict diet, as well as optimizing the process with necessary supplements, these men at their veritable peak and prime prove that all it takes is a repurposed mindset and recalibrated lifestyle. Really, the ripped, chiselled muscles are just a bonus, they insist. Meet the diverse and beast of a group behind the first ever MEGA Man and Euphoria-Maxx Best Bodies. Trust us, you will want to put that slice of pizza down now.

Tanner Mata is no stranger to fitness. Active growing up and always on the move, Tanner began proper training in his first year of high school, joining a strength training program. It was just natural for him to be around and doing exercise. “I guess it was always on my mind. I never really thought, ‘Oh, I should take care of my bod.’ It was more that I like working out. I like being fit, pushing my body to the limit and seeing what I can do with myself. With my friends, I was always active—we were outside running around doing parkour.”

As an international model, and now a regular personality on TV, he continues to strive for a body to be proud of, taking fitness seriously. His training is well-organized and holistic, focusing his attention on different muscle groups every day of the week to get a full-body workout with ample rests in between days. “I do chest and arms on Mondays. Back and legs on Tuesdays. Wednesdays, it’s just arms and cardio—then repeat.” Without missing a beat, Tanner remarks about how pull-ups are what he enjoys best. “You can deal with a variety of different types of pull-ups and work with so many different types of muscles, depending on which way you do it.”

GOOD LEADERSHIP

GOOD LEADERSHIP

I’ve been an employee and a business owner for nearly two decades now and during one of the long nights of 2020, I asked myself, “What kind of leader do I want to be?” This is a question that can easily be answered by, “I want to be a good leader.” But the truth is, it is so difficult to even come close to good. You see, many if not all of our jobs is a business, a business that has to keep spending at bay, one that has to increase profits year over year, and one that has to keep workers happy and motivated. Those things are polar opposites of one another and to find the perfect middle is challenging. For months, I’ve mulled over my own question and I think I’ve found the answer. I want to be that leader that inspires personal growth.

BE HAPPY

Two months ago, I was announced as the head of One Mega Group, a position previously held by our late Founder, Sari Yap, and then our current Chairman, Archie Carasco. Full disclosure, I knew about this announcement six months ago at the height of the pandemic. When I was told, I laughed. I wasn’t sure if it was a nervous laughter, an amused chuckle or both. I honestly thought it was a prank that would be revealed seconds later, but it wasn’t.
