Huge respect coach. 6th at the nastiest of the nasty in the world. I want to be like you when I grow up :)
What a great season!! Aside from all the personal accomplishments, you've done so much for this sport by sharing your journey with us and making yourself available to anyone and everyone that takes an interest. I can't even imagine how many natural bodybuilders you've inspired to take up this great sport and step on stage this year. Thank you Alberto!

this cant be said enough!
lol I think its cool as hell that Brett finally got to chill with you in person. I probably missed it if it was mentioned before, but what are your plans now as far as the off-season? What type of duration are you looking at? Any particular focus (I see E's focused on his lats right now IIRC)?

I think I'll chime in on these too!! Can't tell you enough how much you have inspired me and many others Berto!!
Seriously guys....You guys are way too much. :) Thank you for everything and as soon as I get back I am going to start a new log. I want to put it down in plenty of detail how a middle of the road pro bodybuilder turned into something else. Lot of shhh talking in that last line, but it can and will be done.
You are your thoughts, and I am just speaking them. :P
Oh and I will be in the ATL airport tomorrow, so I will be vlogging. Please excuse the crumbs on my face, as I saw a few pastries there that looked great! Been on a bran muffin kick of late.
Man, congrats on an awesome season! Thanks for allowing us all to follow along, can't tell you how much you've inspired me, you're a class act and a true role model.
I'm just going to mirror what everyone else said. Truly an inspiration :). Congrats!
Can't wait for the new log coach... keep on doin' what you do. Legend!!! :)
What time you gonna be in ATL tomorrow? Shoot me a text or email and let me know!

What! You need to ask for an extra long layover, chili cook off at Valerie's moms house! Hers has been cooking since yesterday. Pork, steak, and ground beef!
Looking forward to the new log

Man I would have definitely come up to the airport to see you, it's literally 10 minutes away from me, but tomorrow is one of my best friend's wedding and I won't be able to make it. Still very glad to have gotten the chance to meet you earlier this year though and huge congrats on 6th place at the Yorton. I'm still lurking and look forward to your new log. As I and many have told you numerous times before, you inspire us all much more than you can imagine.
Does that mean you will actually log in your new log? :D Just giving you a hard time. haha... I hope you enjoyed your trip brutha. Look forward to getting together for some offseason eating.
Havent teared up...YET! Spending 3 days in the same hotel room with one of; if not, the biggest influences of your life=MONEY and impossibly surreal to put into words. Berto, Mel, Jeff...LOVE you guys like you have no idea. I could go on and on but I will keep it short and just talk to you lata ; )
I have TONS of footage...so I'll keep posting them up in here. From Prejudging vids to MISC to Sista bear foot... I gots LOTS!

Bert is like a celebrity..LOL.
"Its a good NPC look". :D Hilarious.
Fantastic pics and vids guys. Congrats on an awesome season. You have done us all proud.
congrats on all your success alberto!
that vlog you posted (vlog 4: quinoa or pizza?) inspired me to change up my dieting and give the IIFYM-style dieting a shot. I just did my first competition and was a zombie the last 4 weeks of my diet, but you were in 10,000 times better shape and seemed happier and more energetic than i was. Yesterday was my first day doing it, and i'm kicking myself for not trying it earlier. I set my macros close to what i had been eating with my "clean food" diet, but i didn't even come close to them because i felt so satisfied by the foods i ate (not meeting those macros was ideal- i'm trying to reverse diet ATM and my appetite had been making it a challenge). thanks for the inspiration, and for making my outlook on my future contest preps MUCH brighter!
Seriously guys, everyone who has posted here is making it harder to deload a bit more this week. :) All of you from the king of all mesos to the competitor that has found some guidance from my VLOGs in trying to exit his dieting phase. Thank you! All of you :)
probably should add he's got a new log....

It's definitely a mind = blown moment isn't it! I remember for the first two weeks dieting on IIFYM I felt dirty, and that I was somehow cheating the whole process. But as my cut progressed, I had to keep telling myself wow how much easier is this than sticking to a set list of foods, I can actually walk out of the house without packing food and be confident I'm not going to derail my prep!
I honestly feel sorry for the other 99% of people preparing for competitions limiting their food choices and hating life the entire time, but you try and convince them they don't need to be this way and they don't believe you.
When I opened this log, I felt lean
Now I feel fat
Curse you! :D
