Blog : First blog to prepbyalex.com

I first stepped on a national level stage in 2005 under the watchful eye and expertise of IFBB Pro Tom Prince. With Tom's guidance and advise, I stood to learn a lot. Thank you Tom for helping me realize my potential. Getting ready for a show goes beyond the 16 week pre-contest diet. It is something that you work constantly at, year-round, year in and year out. I have learned over the years what works and what does not work for me. One of the biggest changes to how I approach preparing for a show now revolves around keeping my off-season bodyweight within 10 to 15 lbs of my stage weight. I've tried the builking up method and I've tried staying within a limited weight range. The latter seems to fit the bill better for my physique.
