My name is Alberto Nunez, I am a 27 year old lifetime natural bodybuilder. I started competing in bodybuilding in 2007, and quickly moved up the amateur ranks. Earning pro cards in the PNBA, NGA, and finally earning my WNBF Pro card as a light weight in the INBF Capital City show in 2008. Considering where I started, or rather how small I started, the fact that I am bodybuilding is still something that is hard to believe at times. Even more is the fact that I have indeed found some success in this sport. I attribute this to hard work, and a passion for this sport. I apply my work ethic to scientifically sound approaches to my training, nutrition, and supplementation. I have spent a great deal of time over the years researching, and learning, sifting through what is often sensationalism, and pseudo-science based approaches that plague this sport. This has been the biggest key to my success.
