EDGE By Alex Sylvester

8 weeks to make a new level up! The challenge is back and this one is going to be very special. By the time I’m done the baby will be here so this one is for her. My and Nicole’s life is going to change a-lot but consistent daily habits will keep everything in line. Don’t mind the unfinished area behind me I’m still making huge construction changes in the house for the baby so a ton is on our plate besides this but I am up for the challenge. It’s not to late to hop on with me if you are needing the push to make that first step! Just let me know im here with you till the end of the line!

For a guy who has a profession in hair I am lucky to have the time to get a hair cut every 3 months. So now i have a mullet to go along with the mustache. Raise hell, praise dale.

If all I did for cuts was mullets. I would die a happy man. The possibility’s are endless. Fight me on it 🤣

From this moment we are down to 79 days till we get to see your face. I’m so grateful to have this opportunity into fatherhood again. It’s been almost 11 years since Hudson was born, so this will be a whole new experience. I’m so excited! Nicole and I have wanted this for such a long time. Can’t wait to meet you kid!

My mini me is about to be entering 5th grade and it’s hard to believe. I honestly feel so young to be having a kid almost in middle school. One thing being a dad has taught me is time has the most value and your kids grow fast. I’m proud of you kid and you are going to be one hell of a man some day.

Step 1. if your kid is into anime show him how to train like them to become super human.
Step 2. Show him how to eat like them.

If you want to look and move like your favorite super hero you better eat like them too. Be the example and show your kids what it takes to be super human. Habits, discipline, drive.

Time has passed and progress has been made but not the progress I was hoping for. Honestly it’s very discouraging. I have made massive strength gains in person records but physically it has not shown as much as I was wanting. Now that being said this is 100% of my own action. Over the past year I have had a few injuries that has set me back and with that I got off track and made poor diet decisions. That came with weight gain that was unwanted and goals push further away. It was my own doing and I hold myself accountable.
It for sure gets me down and honestly makes me want to give up. I know so many of you can relate but this too is part of the journey. I need more patients and more consistency. I need to stay on the program. This is the point where I take on more control. The game is still on and yes this too will be a big transition over to the physical build I dream of and the life I want!

A little late to the game, but here is the family on Easter with special guest Hemingway Hudson’s half brother! We had the honor of watching this cool little dude for a few days and it made me really thankful of the relationship Nicole and I have with his mom and dad. We have come such a long way over the past few years and at the end of the day we are all truly family. Hemmi may not be “blood” but I still love the kid like he is our own. We had a blast with him. I’m thankful that Hudson’s mom and step dad let us have this time with him while they were enjoying her birthday celebration! I have to admit our blended family is pretty cool and I hope other family’s can have this type of relationship too. Here’s to family

Purple plum with a Andrew Garfield fade. My friends are my guests and we still make cool creations. First we were in bands playing shows and touring now we are just a little older but still making cool creations. Love you dude 💕❣️

Happy birthday to my beautiful wife. You are truly one of a kind. I am so thankful for you, and to be sharing so many more birthdays to come in the future. You are a wonderful wife, a fantastic loving mother and a strong bold woman. I am so grateful for you. Happy birthday love…

I want this photo on the left to always be my reminder. I do not like that version of myself and there are many other phases of me that I also do not like but this photo is my reminder. No this is not negative shot on myself just based on my appearance, it was my mental mindset on myself and I was not happy with what I was comfortable with.
Comfort to me is a slow death, and comfortable is what I was which honestly is not a healthy me.
Am I satisfied with the guy on the right? Never!
I will always push further and learn more. I know I can be better, train harder. Dedication to this process will only bring more progress. This spring is showing itself slowly but that won’t stop the spring challenge. This challenge means the most to me. This is the challenge that got me started with 1st phorm and I couldn’t be more thankful. You too can be apart of this and make the change you know you want to do.

Cooking has been a passion of mine ever since my buddy Kyle taught me how to actually cook. Off of a bet to go plant based for six months that has now turned into twelve years I have had no regrets on making this transition. Now with my fitness passion I have gotten very creative in making even cleaner leaner high protein based meals while still enjoying it. It’s a challenge but anything that comes easy isn’t usually what is best for you.
Now even in a plant based diet you can still eat like crap and not be healthy so you have to watch and track what you eat. I will also never tell people they have to choose plant based eating. It worked well for me but that might not be the case for you. All lifestyle food choices can be beneficial but choosing the right one is based on your personal choice and on how it makes you feel, not something you just “do” to lose unwanted weight either, this is a lifestyle.There is no one perfect diet but the choices you make on what you consume will either give you a positive outcome or a crappy one.
Your body is like a rare exotic car don’t just put crappy unleaded fuel in your tank. You only get one for your whole existence.
