Background
I have always lifted weights for as long as I can remember. About 2 1/2 years ago I made a decision that if I am going to do this I might as well put my heart and soul into it. That is when it became serious to me and I truly focused on getting the results I always new I could. I have competed 4 times and have always placed 4th, just missing the top 3 placing by a mere point or two. I am currently preparing to compete at 2 shows; one on October 19th and a second one on November 2nd through which I hope to qualify to compete at a Provincial (State) level in 2003.
I have spend a lot of time researching and learning by reading everything I could and can put my hands on, magazines, internet, books, you name it, I read it. After many sleepless nights and sleepy mornings I feel I finally know a lot about nutrition and exercise, but yet always keep on learning more and expending my knowledge. I am currently perusing fitness modeling, print work and acting, and would love to come across more opportunities for myself as I feel I would be a great representative for the sport that I love. I also love helping others reach their goals and that's why I design Nutritional Programs as well as Exercise Programs to meet different needs of my clients.
I guess you can say I have combined two passions of my life, body building and helping others, oh yeah and my lovely wife Tracy of course; she is number one over here. I would love to extend a great thank you to Adrian and the crew at the Sci-Fit Nutrition Canada for all their support and help in my quest of reaching my bodybuilding goals. I would also like to thank Will at Bodybuilding.com who has given me and my wife this opportunity to contribute to this great web-site and be one of the featured athletes.
For any kind of help or just to chat I can be contacted at alexdangelo@sympatioc.ca.
