update: 2 and a half weeks out from nationals

[McFarland]

he's an enigma ,really could have at his true peak  turned the bbing world upside down in 80/90;s seemed bored with total competitive nature given to compete year end and out and play the game so to speak?

enigma--mystery: something that baffles understanding and cannot be explained; "how it got out is a mystery"; "it remains one of nature's secrets"
riddle: a difficult problem


Gary lives like an enigma.  You will never know the day Gary leaves town.  You will never know the day he is to come back...you won't know the day he came back.  That's how he moves...like a predator...he enters a room and he leaves a room but you never see him coming or going.  I don't know when he fucking sleeps, either.  I honestly can't figure it out. 

All the IFBB Pros I've ever known are honest to God beasts like this in one way or another.

probably has something to due with the "extras"he takes to stay virile and in shape.he living example of long term use and healthy,or so it seems at least.probably training when u think he's sleeping.

calm down ,with the amount of posts u have ,your keyoard has plenty of "deep thoughts"

ROFL!!!

Yeah man especially the vastus medialis, the kind of shit you wouldn't believe without seeing it.

WTF that's insane! When was the last time you saw a pro in that shape? Or anyone for that matter? This basically says bodybuilding is at it's zenith at the national level, and goes downhill in the ifbb.

Great thread......I like how some people think Alex doesn`t have the genetics for bodybuilding because he isn`t weighing in at 270 at 3% bodyfat!!  LOL 

That person should go back down in moms basement and do some more curls with his vinyl covered weight set! 

[wes]

BTW,Jose` Raymond won his pro-card a few times but opted to turn down accepting it and continue to compete as an amatuer...........probab ly thought it better to not get lost in the shuffle of a pro lineup due to his lighter bodyweight.

[Alex A]

Thanks guys, I will get back on here soon, I have some cardio to do and then eat. But thanks for all of that!  Getting super lean is what its all about, I just way rather be a bit smaller and ripped to the bone.  I will go into what I want to do down the road in a bit because theres alot to talk about when it comes to competing as a pro or staying an amateur. But I will hint at the direction Im heading.....Well, I rather be a damn good amateur than a nobody pro.

I have to be carefull not to step on any toes here but its true, why compete at the pro level, if your not really competing at all?

[boonstack]

it must feel good knowing in your mind you are one of a handfull of people on earth walking around like that right now. congrats

p.s., but watch out for layne norton bro-- hes a "natural pro"

what year was that?  97ish, that's when BB really started to take a turn for the worst...size, size, size was all that mattered.  I'd rather see a quality physique than a bloated mess like we have dominating things now.

[gymrat3082]

Awesome pics bro.  You are shredded beyond anything I have seen in a very long time.  I wish you the best of luck at nationals, going with that conditioning you deserve to win!!!

[Alex A]

Good to see Alex owning the pros on conditionning 

EASY win at the nats, mark my words guys 

[McFarland]

[McFarland]

I think it's pretty safe to assume that you win "Thread of the Week," Alex.  Congrats. 

[Alex A]

Thanks Stavios and McFarland, Looking forward to taking some more shots when Im five days out to give me the last push till I'm in Texas, also looking forward to getting on stage for some real fun.

 Im doing good, but shit, late in the day I feel tired,  training and diet isn't so bad its all the energy a 22 month old has. But damn is she the ultimate trophy to me!  keep in touch guys, alex
