Classic Bodybuilder Diet
Many people believe that a classic bodybuilder should be on a strict diet without carbohydrates. Alexander Denisenko is a bodybuilder who adheres to the reverse scheme. On drying, an athlete consumes at least 350 grams of carbohydrates. If this amount is reduced, then Alexander begins to quickly lose muscle mass.
The bodybuilder's diet is based on boiled fish, rice and skinless chicken thighs. In the first month of the diet before the competition, the athlete has to adhere to carbohydrate alternation. Alexander even admitted that without a drop of embarrassment he eats chocolate paste, pancakes, pastries and other sweets during this period. Closer to competitions, his diet is tightening.
Champion Coach
Alexander Mikhailovich Denisenko is an outstanding bodybuilder. But he could not have reached many peaks without the help of his constant mentor - Nadezhda Lobozina. The bodybuilder describes her as a trainer, able to see the slightest changes in the body, and foresee all situations in advance. Hope always objectively assesses the athlete’s chances of winning and does not accept unnecessary praise. Alexander Denisenko is not going to look for the best coach.
It is worth mentioning that Nadezhda is also the wife of a famous bodybuilder and the mother of his children.

Which is better: measured exercise or wear classes?
There are a huge number of basic schemes that people adjust for themselves. For Alexander enough to do 3-4 times a week. Its result depends entirely on the effort invested and the time worked. Now the bodybuilder is engaged in a relaxed mode, performing no more than 3 exercises for different muscle groups per workout. But closer to the competition, the intensity of his work will increase and comes to two workouts per day.
