Meet Lazar Angelov.

Lazar Angelov is a household name in the world of fitness and modeling. He is well known for his dedication and love for training and fitness. Born in Sofia, Bulgaria, he had a career full of ups and downs. Before getting famous, he was a pro basketball player and made the junior national basketball team of Bulgaria when he was 16. For a short period, he served in the army where he found his passion for bodybuilding. After a serious knee injury, that jeopardized his basketball career, he went on to become a personal trainer. With his personalized training programs and his words of wisdom, he has transformed many lives.

Dedication & Training

Lazar has seen fair share of tough times. After his knee injury, he said “fitness was my second passion after basketball and I decided to put all my efforts into it”. But it wasn’t an easy ride. When he first started out, he worked two jobs. He worked as a personal trainer during the daytime and as a security guard at night. The pay wasn’t very good but it didn’t stop him from focusing on his goals. He said, “To me, life is like a bench press, if I don’t push the weight, it will fall on me”. Achieving a desired level of fitness is not an easy task and maintaining what you have achieved is just as hard. Lazar believes in the consistency of efforts and that you have to give 100% every time you workout.

He likes to train heavy and with a lot of intensity. Regardless of whether he is cutting or bulking. He normally mixes up his workout to shock his muscles. To maintain his shredded physique he performs a combination of isolation and compound exercises. He has an Ectomorph body type which means he is naturally thin and it’s hard for him to gain muscle and fat. It means he has to work much harder than usual to gain the same amount of muscle mass. He puts a lot of emphasis on basic exercises and principles of bodybuilding. He tells his students to always keep it simple and manageable.
