Selected results
Alexey competed in bodybuilding from 2009 to 2015, including national pro-qualifier shows. He prepped himself for his early shows, then worked with Dennis James (2014) and George Farah (2015), so he knows prep from both sides: as an athlete and as a coach.
2011–2015 NPC and IFBB placings are listed on NPC News Online.
