Troy is a modern day Frank Zane---Troy has an outstanding physique----at this point if I were Troy-----I would enter the other contests thruout the year more frequently like Darrem Charles does---Troy would stand a good chance of placing high (perhaps winning?) one of these contests---plus the added exposure wouldnt hurt.
I believe he may have had an injury that has kept him sidelined a bit this last year or so.
Good luck to him, great balance, great back !!!
Troy Alves should never do the Olympia again.
He deserved to be up with the top guys, but the muscle worshippers completely ignored the "no-gut" judging policy, and went with their wet fantasies Cutler and Coleman.
Alves, as well as Dexter, Darrem, Ronnie Rockel and Dave Henry, shouldn't even enter the Olympia.
What's the point? They stand no chance of winning, or even placing in the top 3, despite being better bodybuilders than most of the other guys.
