 "I don’t have a specific schedule; I train often and heavy. I rest from 2 to 4 days a month. I like basic exercises and heavier weights – this is the only way for a natural athlete like me to maintain decent size.

Cardio Workout?

"Pretty much I try to avoid cardio, but in general I like aerobic exercises. Cardio causes me to lose a lot of muscle mass. Usually I would switch between HIIT and regular cardio, but I do those very rarely."

Current Diet:

• Meal 1: Oatmeal, Eggs, Peanut Butter & Grapefruit
• Meal 2: Rice, Chicken & Broccoli
• Meal 3: Pasta, Tuna Fish & Avocado
• Meal 4: Rice, Chicken
• Meal 5: Salmon & Green Salad
• Meal 6: Cottage Cheese & Broccoli

Bulking Diet: 

"I bulk during the winter, when my body fat % goes to about 10-12% and I lift very heavy in order to be able to gain at least a couple of pounds of clean muscle mass."  

"Since my body type is somewhere between ectomorph and mesomorph I have a pretty fast metabolism and I don’t limit myself on food when bulking. I just follow a couple of important principles, the most important one of which is to take 30 gr protein every 2 hours, combined with complex carbohydrates."

Cutting Diet: 

"I begin with stopping carbs intake in the afternoon. Then I start carb cycling and during the last days of the period I completely cut any carbohydrates."

Favorite Quote:

To achieve what others won’t, you have to do what others don’t!

Lazar Angelov is an inspiration for all of us weight trainees. 

The perfect blend of mass, lean muscles, and symmetry.

 Sports a physique ala golden era of bodybuilding.

The Arnold era when bodybuilders had tiny waist instead of the ugly insulin & GH guts sported by todays bodybuilder.

And even more importantly, he is an awards winner in Natural Bodybuilding Championships.
