Alexei Lesukov is a promising Russian bodybuilder

Alexei Lesukov is a Russian bodybuilder. Two-time winner of the championship of Russia in the junior category. One of the most genetically gifted bodybuilders of the country. Despite his young age, he managed to achieve significant results in bodybuilding. In this article, we will describe a brief biography of the athlete.

Childhood

Alexei Lesukov was born in Apatity (Murmansk region) in 1988. Thanks to genetics at the age of 13, the guy looked muscled and more massive than his peers. Therefore, Alex decided to go in for sports. So at the age of 14 Lesukov enrolled in the gym. But the boy's mother was categorically against the son's occupation, because she was afraid for his health. Therefore, the future champion had to visit the hall secretly. To pay for training came from money that parents gave to the dining room.

Learning and career start

After graduation, the young man moved with his family to St. Petersburg. In 2005, the bodybuilder entered the Academy of Physical Culture Lesgaft. Also Alexey Lesukov found a good gym, where he continued his studies with iron. There the young man got acquainted with Andrei Prokofiev, who in the future became his professional mentor and personal trainer. Together they achieved an amazing result - a year later Alex won in their first junior competitions.

Further speeches

After the 2008 championships, the athlete significantly reduced the number of performances. In 2010, Alexei could not take prizes at any of the tournaments. This was due to injuries sustained during heavy training. The details were not disclosed either by Lesukov himself or by his managers. In 2011, the athlete returned with new strength to the amateur tournament "Arnold Classic". To date, the hero of this article is considered one of the most promising Russian bodybuilders in weight over 100 kilograms.

top scores

The most significant achievements of Alexei include several victories: the 1st place in the European Junior Championship (2007), the 4th place in the World Amateur Championship (2008), the 12th place in Body-Extreme, the Grand Prix in the Russian Championship Juniors (2009). But the sportsman was very famous for the tournament "Arnold Classic" (amateur), which took place in 2011. There Lesukov became the first. Exactly the same result in these competitions he showed in 2012, but already among professional athletes. In subsequent years, the bodybuilder regularly took prizes.

Food

Alexei Lesukov is convinced that the necessary physical form for the performance must be scored a week before the start of the tournament. Therefore, for a strict diet, the bodybuilder sits 8-10 days before the date of the competition. At this time, the athlete eats chicken, low-fat cottage cheese and red fish. Carbohydrates Alex uses three times a day. Their total number does not exceed 180 grams.

Bezuglevodnuyu diet, or "pit", Lesukov considers ineffective before the competition. It makes sense to sit down for a week or more before the date of the tournament, when there is time to prepare. From a sports nutrition the bodybuilder uses amino acids.

Training

Strict adherence to the schedule of classes is the main secret of success in bodybuilding. This is what Alexei Lesukov thinks. Training should be hard and regular. The optimal number of repetitions in the exercises - from 8 to 12 times. As for approaches, it's 3-4 sets. Alex advises to warm up before each training, doing about four approaches, and only then go to the working weight. Also periodically it is necessary to change the exercises themselves or the order of their implementation.
