Guesing Game - Natural Bodybuilder Francisco Montealegre

Yesterday: I trashed Delts and ARms

The way i train my arms is dif that the way i train my upperbody. I try to focus on my form + feeling every rep to increase muscle activation + i look for the huge pump + i use lighter weights. In the past for many years i trained heavy and hard..i used to think than the heavier the better ( 155 bb curls x 10 reps / DB Hammer curls with 105's x 5 were my last PR's) however i was wrong and i ended up with several injuries....So after years of heavy training and reoccuring injuries i decided to change my mind and turn my arm workout around.....All i can say is that i am very pleased with the way my workouts are going now.

Looking good Francisco. How long until the show?

Francisco, I have a question for you that I debated in another forum... Do you think Chuck Sipes was juicing or natural in the image/contest below?

I'm just curious... I think he remained natural during his career and I don't think he had to use AS to achieve that physique. Since you're a pusher of the natural limits, what say you?

I dont know about him...i have never hear of him but It is 100% possible to be natural and look like that! ...i have competed agains some great naturals in the past and they look insane! some people have the bodystructure to be big + good muscle attachments + dedication to the sport and then you have a freak! ....see the pics bellow the asian guy is a balinese bodybuilder named Komang Arnawa he was Mr. Natural Olympia a few years ago...in the black& white picture english BBer Rob Hope Wnbf World Champ 2 years in a row (dont remember the years)

Also the fatter you get the more insulin "Insensitive" you become! in other words you will gain a lot more fat than muscle for every lb you gain. The trick is to gain weight slowly and stay leaner during your offseason.

Word to that dirty bulk BS, I am not a fan of eating like a pig to gain muscle results..people have told me how to eat...But I know my body and what it likes to gain muscle...SAY NO TO EATING LIKE A COW lol

I dont see in your work out anything about dead lifting? Do you dead lift? Or do you build a strong back though other methods?

I agree I have seen some pretty amazing natural people go up threw the ranks. The first thing that goes threw the mind is "Animal" or "Holly crap he is a beast" truely dedicated gifted people unlocking there full potenshal.
