Colombian natural bodybuilder Alex Rendon hasn’t stepped on a competition stage, yet the 5’8″, 190 lbs., 20 year old is capturing a lot of attention. “I started training a couple of years ago,” Alex says. “I really just wanted to have model look, the abs, chest arms, you know. But, as I started getting bigger, I realized that I had good bodybuilding potential. I am still learning and just begun to do that ‘lean bulk’ that everyone’s talking about now.” Alex trains in a small town gym that he says have everything he needs. “Its not fancy like the city gyms, but it works for me.” He says he’s training for Musclemania™ Colombia in July and hopefully then to MM America in Las Vegas.

Natural bodybuilder Alex Rendon has never been on stage, but the 5’8″, 195 lbs., 20 year old Colombian plans to hit the competition scene this season. “I just went to see my first show last year and everyone kept telling me that should compete,” Alex says. Incredibly, he trains in spartan facilities including a gym with a thatched roof made of palm tree leaves. “The place is great for me,” Alex explains. “I don’t need anything fancy. It’s all about heavy duty, hard core training no matter where you lift.” Alex says he hopes to be ready for MM Colombia in July, then MM Latino in Mexico City and, possibly, MM America in the fall.
