Props to Alex A

As many of you know, I have been working with Alex to take care of my diet during the last 5 or 6 weeks of my diet (don't remember)

I have had surgery 6 weeks ago and before that, I could not do any cardio and train hard due to intense pain in my eye
Post surgery it took me a while to be at 100% in the gym again but I started working with Alex directly after surgery

He made my diet, answered every questions I had in a short time and every time I had a problem, the guy had an answer

I'm happy now with the results : I'm at my heaviest and my leanest .. I should have been leaner for sure, but with a total of 7 weeks of diet, I'm pretty happy
Today I was at 240lbs, 6.5-7% bodyfat, totally carb depleted
On the day of the photo shoot after 2 days of carb up I hope I'll be around 250lbs

I started around 280 if I remember (heaviest has been 290 but dropped some weight before/after surgery) and OFF ROIDS

His diet kept me full and made me much leaner

I have to say a big thank you to this guy, he is an amazing trainer and also a very nice person to talk with
what I appreciated with him is that he tells it like it is : if you send him a pic and that you are not lean enough, he tells you so and this is what an athlete need IMO

I'll join pics from me 6 weeks ago and one of yesterday

guys your are the judges

thanks Alex !

And props to Alex A.

Thanks Mike and the crazy thing after looking at some of the pics you have sent me and pics posted, you look bigger now..

This is always awesome when your get bigger during your prep.
I know you have lost weight, mostly fat and I think you have gotten bigger.

I know you mentioned very clearly that we had such a short time here to work on this. And I had to get creative with your diet, If we had more time, we could have done a longer slower prep, got you leaner too but with all factors considered we are happy.

I hope i can put on as much muscle, im confident, im going to lose the fat.. My prep starts in 6 days.. Nationals In Atlanta

We had to do what we had to do, the ideal plan is to do a long slow prep eating allot of food along the way.. but you were not scared or weak about working your ass off! you get all the props. p.s post some leg pics...

Mike, if Alex had you for a good 16 weeks to do a show, they would wonder "where did this freak of nature come from?" Your size and symetry is incredible!! Look out all you competitors!!

VTliftVT · Jul 28, 2008

Mike, someone needs to hold you down (if thats possible) and talk some sense into you to do a show...my guess is once you get that 1st one under your belt and blow everyone away, you'll be hooked!

lookin nasty bro!
