Flavo is 4'10" and during his contest preparation eats 400g to 500g carbs and 2hr cardio per day, the cardio is very important.

only when using insulin. That's also the reason he eats those carbs too

[Van_Bilderass]

Biceps what you told him earlier sounded like very sound advice; you sound like you know your shit.   

I don't think Alex needs advice from Emeric Delzeg, no offense to Emeric. Alex knows what he is doing, he has always come in in crazy shape.

[DK II]

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.

Man, that is one of the most intelligent posts i've ever read from a competing bodybuilder.

Well of course not; I was just saying. 

[Stavios]

Looking incredible !!!!! 

legs are even crazier than last year and the back is already tighter than last year when you were onstage

looks like it will be an easy win 

[Hedgehog]

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...

Could you post some recent asses you shot recently?


Please.

BTW, looking good.

[Jizzacked]

lookin dry as hell...

how does it feel being in that condition as far as wellbeing... I imagine it takes a bit of stress on you, but lookin great, well done.

[Hypo]

I wouldn't say shredded, but you are damn dry in those pics. Great conditioning.

[Alex A]

Thanks Stavios, McFarland, Wes, everyone.  And I appreciate those who could be concerned that I will blow it in the last weeks. I will tell you why I wont.  I wont look a whole hell of a lot different than I do now( other than being drier and tighter) because I wont change a damn thing. Why break something that is working? 

It makes no sense to make drastic changes, only unless you are looking off the mark. I figure, I will do my thing, what has been working for me now.

In those pics, they were shot in the gym, after cardio, training, a gallon or so  of water, a couple cups of coffee throughout the day, some diet root beer and I ate an hour before. Do my legs look like they are holding water or need rest, do they everything to stop, load this, drop that, change this, change that.etc etc. .  I dont think so. So keep an  eye out for me at the gym at the hotel or the local gym in dallas, you might seem me doing some  some cardio, because I plan on just doing my thing pretty much till the last day.

[Alex A]

Damn how does this Dude Get so ripped eating 400 grams of carbs a day?

I had to respond to this too.  400 grams is pretty high but shit, i wish I could eat more. Im lucky I can eat this much.  Good carbs too, white rice and brown sugar oatmeal.  Good shit.

 But my friends don't try this at home.  My metabolism is revvin! and I can get away with this. At night, im hungy, i go to bed early because I get up early and at night all I think about is food. But I can't imagine eating only a hundred and fifty grams or so, wow, that would suck.

translation: I'm on high doses of t3, ephedrin, yohimbin, hgh and insulin.

[Alex A]

i Should post my off season pics, but honestly most of that stuff I dont use. If I did, I would pretty much shrink up. I have not come down much in weight at all. But check this out, lots of guys do all that stuff and dont look like this anyways, oh well.

[DK II]

unreal. 

[spinnis]

[slaveboy1980]

ALex...being as ripped as you are is going to cause a lot of speculation to what it is you take to get like that.  A LOT of speculation, as  you can already see.  Just curious if it would be against your religion [bodybuilding] to give us somewhat of an idea of what your current cycle looks like???

Good luck!

UN-FUCKING-REAL

[MAXX]

dorian-eque conditioning 

[Farcry]

Alex A, how tall are you?

[The Coach]

dorian-eque conditioning 

Dorian never looked that hard and ripped.

[Alex A]

Im 5'4" tall, pretty damn short, but thats how I can get away with being 160lbs.  As far as cycle goes, if I told you guys, no one would believe me anyways. You know what I mean? Because already people are speculating things and talking about stuff I have no idea about.

For example,someone said, your on a mega dose of insulin, t-3, clen,  etc. And I will tell you about  insulin, I have never even seen it before, dont know anything about it.

 People are going to say, "yeah right!" or your on more shit than anyone can immagine.  And you know what?  With all these guys out there trying to get shredded and dry, people are willing to do anything to get awesome results. So, If it was all about tons of t-3, insulin, growth, ephedrine, clen etc, then people would just down this shit like crazy and eveyone would look ridiculous.  But it aint happening!

  I will tell you, this may sound like some bullshit, but its the combination of , diet, cardio, training etc. that makes the package complete. I have figured out the right combination and it keeps working.  Many guys keep making the same mistakes. Spending alot of money, hiring trainers, adding more to the cycle, etc. but in the end, they look the same.  I do have a good combination that works and it works good, but I just dont share it with everyone.

don't worry about these jackasses Alex, you look phenomenal and these clowns would give their left nut to look as good as you, me included.

[thewickedtruth]
