i worked out next to alex for a month or so in 95-6 n i do agree he still had some flaws to bring up if he was gonna knock ronnie off back then,lower body he was better than ronnie,quads/hammies/calves no question. upper body ronnie had him beat in pretty much every area except forearms n maybe,i said maybe TRIS. BACK ronnie crushed him,chest same thing,bis same thing,delts u can make an argument i guess tho. if alex wouldve had yates type back n had some more chest thickness it woulda been more interesting, but as far as sheer size alex was a monster, when he got done training legs n stripped down n starting posing them for everyone in gym who was interested,it was a sight to see, his arms where freaky also,forearms looked like popeyes,really good natured guy,really cool to everyone
