Fit FREAK of the week

Have you ever heard the phrase “washboard abs” and wondered what these looked like? Well a picture of this week’s Fit FREAK Lazar Angelov pretty much sums it up..

 

This 27 year old Bulgarian fitness model/ bodybuilder who is also a personal trainer started training at a young age, first picking up a set of dumbbells at home at the age of 10. He then went on to play basketball competitively and when he wasn’t playing or training for that he was lifting weights. Once he finished with his basketball career he joined the army and with further experience with weights he went on to become a personal trainer and in turn entered the world of bodybuilding.

 As many of us can admit when starting out with weight training, Lazar lacked the knowledge of nutrition to assist his training which he claims was his biggest mistake and believes he wasted a lot of his time training without proper nutrition. His own website that he now has www.lazarangelov.comoffers training and nutrition programs to help other people meet their own goals.

Lazar describes his training routine as being consistent and heavy claiming that this helps him to maintain decent size as a natural athlete. As with most bodybuilders he works on a 5 day split program focusing on 1-2 body parts per session. He rarely does cardio as he claims it causes him to lose a lot of muscle mass but if he does include it in his program he switches between HIIT (high intensity interval training) and steady state cardio.

His diet consists of a lot of protein including egg whites,chicken, fish, whey powder as well as wholegrain carbohydrates in oats and brown rice.

Lazar is a big believer in creating an aesthetic physique and therefore he likes to stay cut majority of the year and as you can see with many of his photos he achieves this without question. 

His advice to anyone looking to get in the best shape of their life is to keep consistent with both training and diet and to only take advice from people who have achieved more than you and know what they are talking about.
