5 Questions: Chatting with IFBB Pro bodybuilder, Yorktown resident Alex Mitch

YORKTOWN, Ind. — Alex Mitch remembers the day his life changed.

June 1, 2011. Mitch had spent months studying nutrition leading up to that day and it was then that Mitch decided he was going to "live as a bodybuilder."

From that day on, Mitch, a Yorktown resident and Yorktown High School graduate, dedicated himself to bodybuilding. From getting up at 4:30 a.m. to do cardio, to eating seven meals a day to either coaching or working full-time at Mitch Dental Laboratory in Muncie and training after, Mitch's life is extremely regimented.

The repetitive nature of bodybuilding isn't easy, but it's something Mitch, a self-proclaimed "creature of habit," is able to do because he's driven by his results.
