I thought I would share some most recent pics with you guys. Things are going good with my contest prep and i feel I'm almost ready.

Maybe I can answer some questions before you ask. For those who don't know, there are weight classes at nationals. I'm probably going to be a lightweight, and weigh in at 154lbs. I'm about 160 right now. I'm 5'4". Last time I competed I won the lightweight class at the USA in 2006. I don't think I'm the greatest or the best. I'm just competing against those in my weight class. Last time I posted there were some pretty non important questions, such as: whats my blood pressure like? whats up with the beenie? could you post your cycle? etc. etc. Anyways, here goes...

bigbobs · « **Reply #3 on:** October 31, 2007, 03:26:08 PM »

Only 160? I weigh 215, therefore I am bigger than you

Maybe that means I should compete at the nationals?

That is some sick ass conditioning. Well done. But do you think you'll be able to hold that for another 2.5 weeks? Oh, in the first pic, spread your lats a little to make you look thicker. All in all dude you are spot on.

Max · « **Reply #8 on:** October 31, 2007, 03:35:37 PM »

2.5 weeks and you look like that. WOW!!! Now that is conditioned. How are you able to function during day to day stuff?
Whats your nutritional breakdown right now?

Alex A · « **Reply #9 on:** October 31, 2007, 03:39:45 PM »

Thanks for keeping in touch guys

I have a bit more than two weeks to go and its going great. Im going to tighten up more as when its time, I will cut down the water and should be ready when I need to. The beenie is good luck! believe me. I get my cholesterol and blood pressure checked regularly. All the cardio keeps me in shape. Anyways, keep a look out for me! peace!

hahah Palumbo and his glute fetish

Legs look sick dude but your abs don't look as tight as your lower half. There good and all it's just they don't have that extra pop to them.

Thanks, I will tell you that I work hard on eating clean year round. Ive gotten used to eating clean. I have a little girl, wife, full time job, house, pets etc, stress. Its not easy. Im not some dillusional idiot who only obsesses over bodybuilding. For me, its a lifestyle, its for fun and for being healthy. My diet is very simple and ive really gotten used to eating clean.

Full credit, You may have a life but getting in to that shape takes a certain level of obssesiveness but thats a good thing in Bbing.

How many calories are you eating currently? What's the macronutrient breakdown like?

Thanks.

Alex A · « **Reply #17 on:** October 31, 2007, 04:04:06 PM »

I dont count my calories, i really dont count carbs. I just weigh my food. I know what my body needs and I adjust accordingly. I eat about 400 grams of carbs per day. Thats alot for a guy 160ls. I eat, only white rice, and oatmeal with brown sugar for carbs. Steak, chicken breast, turkey breast, eggwhites and lately salmon.

What type of footware do you advise pre-contest? Do you have a favorite color?

Oh, you're close very close. Nice work.
