MARK ALVISI

NorthAmericanBodies.com is pleased to add Mark
Alvisi to our roster of top bodybuilding and fitness
models. For 2002 Superbody Natural World Champion Mark
Alvisi, the path of extreme physical conditioning began
in his early teens. Mark always had the desire to
succeed as an individual. During his high school years,
Mark opted out of team sports in favor of a very high
level of Oom Yung Do, an Asian form of martial arts. His
discipline was further developed when he went on to
spend four years in the Army Special Forces support
group as a paratrooper, rising to the rank of sergeant.
During this time, Mark was beginning to realize that his
body responded quickly to weight training. He always
held an above average weight on his frame and arms that,
without any effort, were bigger and stronger then any of
his peers. Once out of the service, and then moving to
Florida, Mark desired to see what his body could look
like if he made it his focus. In the spring of 2001,
Mark decided it was time to see how his body compared to
others in a competitive arena. Mark entered the NABF
Florida State Championships in a hard sleek body with
amazing lines that resulted in his turning professional
with his very first contest. A few weeks later he just
missed achieving his pro card in the Musclemania South
Beach Fitness Festival. Nobody could match his condition
at 161 pounds, but at his height of 5’9”, he needed
to put on some serious size. Knowing he had to jack
himself up, Mark spent the next several months on a mass
building regime. In the fall of 2001, he entered the
NABF Pro Am Championships ten pounds heavier then his
previous competitions and took the overall, becoming the
top professional in that federation. A few weeks later
he entered the Musclemania World Championships and took
third in the welterweight class in a field of 25. Even
though Mark came into the contest heavier, getting into
the shredded condition he exhibited cost him valuable
muscle. Mark’s immediate focus now was coming into the
2002 Superbody hauling 15 more pounds of lean muscle,
and coming in at the top of the middleweight class.
Carrying that 15 extra pounds of shredded muscle made an
impact with the judges and audience. With finely
sculpted and perfectly symmetrical lines, Mark presented
an unbeatable package and he was the unanimous choice by
the judges for the overall title. More recently, Mark
has been focused on NPC bodybuilding contests. We
photographed Mark competing in Fort Lauderdale at the
2006 Southern States Championships. He placed 2nd in his
heavyweight class. We photographed Mark again when he
competed at the 2006 NPC USA Bodybuilding Championships.
Mark's goal is to win the 2007 USA's and we think he has
a good chance of doing that!
