"It was 2019 and I tried a proper 10-month volume."

During last season Ales tried to win a professional card in the NPC federation, which he failed to do. This year he plans to fulfill his goal of becoming a professional bodybuilder and then try to fight his way to the Olympia, which is of course every bodybuilder's dream.

That's why Ales entered the Champions Cup Pro Qualifier 2023 in Poland last weekend to fulfill what he promised and to get the aforementioned Pro card and become a pro in the NPC federation. Unfortunately this didn't happen and Ales ended up taking second place in his category, just like last year. The Lamky division was dominated by the local Pole Piotr Jablonski, who still did not get a Pro card, as Maciej Nabagło became the overall champion in the Classic Physique category.

In a recent post on Instagram, Ales showed his transformation since 2019 and also commented on his journey.

It was 2019 and I tried a proper 10 month volume. People advise: eat, lift heavy weights and grow it! Yes, I was stronger and even had 280Kg for Sumo deadlifts..
But I was fat, overfed, didn't tie my shoelaces, my boobs and hips were flopping when I walked and then I had to go on a long diet and ended up at 76Kg again.

You have to gain weight, but as slowly as possible..(I was eating about 3800kcal) You have to exercise, but mainly volume if you want to gain muscle..
And after 8 years of exercising, you have to admit sometimes you can be at your natty max and not move much anyway..

But when you start your journey, everything is ahead of you and the results will fly, even if it's not all perfect. There's going to be a lot of changes, a lot of progress and a lot of success and I believe it's going to be a blast. Just get started!

Just like on 1.1.2024 DAN will start its journey and start a new awesome Project :)
