However, despite dropping a proverbial bomb, Alvarez didn’t explain further. Instead, he left fans in nervous anticipation with the following statement.

 

“I’ll post a video on Monday explaining more about it,” the Orlando Pro 2023 competitor wrote. The bodybuilding influencer didn’t look worse for wear in the update. He had no problems holding poses and didn’t seem short of breath. However, Emmanuel Alvarez revealed that he has dialed down the PEDs and training volume in the last two months.

 “Currently sitting at 255lbs first thing in the morning. I’ve been just on TRT dose for 2 months now, deloading training and food to 50%,” revealed the pro bodybuilder. Bodybuilding fans showed their support as they waited patiently to learn more about the bodybuilder’s heart condition.
