Looking forward to this one !
You always ask the most insightful questions, Carlos. Thank you again for interviewing me.
I hope the viewers gained a lot of value to help with their natural bodybuilding journeys.
Thanks Alex, I hope that people appreciate the value of our discussions
GVS looked amazing, his shape and symmetry was insane. Had great size for natty as well.
He is a fake natty dude.
Happy to see the best bodybuilding show on UA-cam putting out a new video!!!
I appreciate that!
He got his journey fully documented on UA-cam i don’t think he is on gear at any point of time
it's crazy how many people think alex is on gear, hes like 5'5 and basically dedicated his whole life to this
Alex looked insane after that death cut
still find it strange that natural bodybuilders want to go to at least 5% body fat,
it takes years to build a body naturally, to lose all that body mass and muscle for a show why ??????
with your channel have show from the 18th century around 1940's how good a natural bodybuilders look with 10-12% body fat
Good points for sure.
Looking healthy Carlos hope your doing well
That was in summer 2023
Should interview Joel Twinem
Alex keep saying saying he doesn't have good genetic but he was 65kg close to shredded at only 5'5 at the time he started training.
how much protein on a death cut?
we need new videos sir
Definitely possible to look good natural, bronze era bodybuilding is the best for naturals.
The whole "they gotta be on something" for anyone who bulks up or is in really good shape is the same as "the election's rigged if I don't win"
don't think the description of alex from alpha destiny is accurate anymore lol
Alex is my favorite vegan non gmo organi grass fed natty bodybuilder
He is mostly plant based!
The best era of training was the bronze
and what does that have to do with this video....?
I learn a lot things from your channel and the point of bronze era was before 1940 was natty without chemistry
I dont have hate or anything else is also greek like me im greek live in greece haha so i wish good luck in competition...if iam wrong the time say yes you had wrong with alex yes is natty....will see
@@GoldenEraBookwormwhat kind of a reply is that you arrogant, rude man?
I got to 195 easy lol thank god im 5'7
5'7 is still short
@@malik_alharb 5'7.5 if you're going to be a shvonz about it.
The guys about as natty as margarine. He does a con on the young guys. Gets out of shape and smooth. Then comes down TOO sliced. A look even Kevin Levrone cant get off gear. Thats what outs him.
I'm natural since i started bodybuilding ... u can get stronger and lift twice as more than ur bodyweight but how lean can u get 🤷🏻♂️ i don't know and i don't think u can get 7% body fat
you can get lean naturally with intermittent fasting and putting more hours in between meals
You don't know because you don't try
You CAN'T get to that low body fat & retain muscle naturally.
@@ClickClack_Bamexactly... It's called thermodynamics..
@@ClickClack_Bam thats a problem naturals will run into, you can only get so big naturally, and if you gain weight that is mostly fat and water you will be bigger but not be as carved, however one thing people should remember that as a natural you could also appear bigger than you really are if you had less body fat and are more shredded because when people see you in certain angles or in certain lighting and see all your cuts and striations then you could actually look like you are 30-40 lbs heavier than you really are, for example when i first met my martial arts instructors i thought they were 175-180s lbs because they looked very muscular due to having low body fat and very shredded bodies and i was shocked to find out they were actually around 145-150lbs, i think if you are a true natural with average to below average genetics you will look more visually striking if you focus on being shredded instead of getting bloated by always being in a bulk mode and having all the striations and details of your muscles covered up layer of fat
He's as "natural" as high fructose corn syrup..
Explain why
Your comment is as typical as high fructose syrup
@@GoldenEraBookwormhe’s not natural .. Mike ohearn isn’t natural either btw. Or Dana Bailey.
They sell all their supplements off being natural.. like liver king
I don't believe he is natural
based on what?
Typical response 🙄
He's NOT natural.
Anybody who thinks he's is shows their ignorance on the subject & 100% never messed around with gear.
@@ClickClack_Bam you can watch years of Alex's cycles of bulking/cutting on UA-cam to see how he got where he is today, there were no sudden gains
Your jealousy is laughable.. grow up 😅
@@jimo9555It’s normally based on the accused being better developed than the accuser.
He jumped on gear. Don't be fooled.
You aint fooling anyone buddy
@@joojotin That's right. You are a fool.
What a pathetic way to think honestly
Stay mad
Jealousy
