Lazar Angelov, bodybuilder and one of the best personal trainers ever. He has the body of a Greek God, strength of Hercules, and the patience of a monk. That’s Angelov from me to all of you and we are going to talk about how he made ‘Him’ happen.

About Lazar Angelov

Prior to taking up body building and becoming the awesome personal trainer that he is, did you know that he was a professional basketball player for 10 years.

The first phase of his career in basketball was for 8 years, after which he got a call to join the army, wherein he served for 9 months.

When he came back from the Army he joined basketball again to get into shape after the 9 month break but he could only play the sport for 2 years owing to a chronic knee injury which limited his performance in the sport.

Angelov was an enthusiastic sportsman and he was not someone who would sit quiet just because of a knee injury and that is when he took up body building which had always been his passion always.

As a young boy he always wanted to be like Jean Claude Van Damme and that is what he has achieved today.

Angelov’s greatest achievement, when he entered the bodybuilding arena in 2006, after he had quit basketball forever in 2005, was when he finished third place during the National Championship for Classic Bodybuilding.

It was a great success for him because he was new in the field and still made it third place inspite of the lack of time to train and experience as well.

Angelov has always been dedicated and professional towards his training and sports itself and he owes this to the years that he spent as a basketball player. He believes in always keeping sports in front of everything else in his life.
