Even if you're on PD's, you're a real legend and also you certainly motivated me 10 years ago to start to work out. Thanks from Russia! Still gangster, come back soon!
@Lazar Angelov Don't stop brother, you still have the energy of greatness, all your fans believe in you, our world has a lot of interesting things to do, make more videos, I enjoy watching your content. Hello from Baku, Azerbaijan :)
Very good interview. I remember seeing your physique 2011-14. You were killin it! Awesome genetics and dedication to bodybuilding. You're still are a huge inspiration in the fitness industy. Lots of respect, you've def grown mentally and spiritually aswell. Wish you the best
So cool he opened up about this. This is relatable on so many levels. A lot of stuff I hope I'd find out earlier. Hopefully some kids out there will take heed!
Lazar you're such a kind person. And that's way more important than the shape of your body... It's allways a pleaysure to listen to you bro. I hope you'll get healthy and fit very soon like before your injuries :)
Lazar, I see you respont to all the negative people... let them hate bro, you dont live for their approval. They'll never understand what it's like to go through what you've been through. All that matters is that you've inspired countless people and that you're being open about everything! I'm proud that we come from the same country. Respect brother 👊
@@mo7ammmad2012 I think you don't know him very well, he is an international certified doctor god knows it, we Indians are taking vaccination made by him
I m watching you from 2012.I worked out many years before but you gave me more motivation to go harder watching your greatest shape in my opinion.But 2013 injured my shoulder very serious and slowly i felt pain all in my joints,i was depressed and after years i saw you to get injured...keep walking, you are and you will be my favorite fitness bodybuilder ever.
“I never took steroids, apart from Clen, HGH, and Deca”. Dude. Just be honest - you’re in a sport that is almost completely reliant on steroids and nobody judges you for it. Equivocating doesn’t make you look honorable.
Honestly I don’t care whether or not Lazar was taking anything I’m simply grateful that he got me of the couch, the most memorable people are those that have had an impact on people’s life and that’s something LAZAR has achieved. Thank you 🙏🏿 Lazar
Lazar , you're really Great man ! I love your efforts and motivation, I loved training and I was in mix martial arts, street fighter, arm wrestler and in general loved this industry, all I can say you have inspired me a lot , more energy and lots of motivation . Well done and wishing you a happy life !
Thanks for inspir3d us bro naturally,im one of your bro natural and you keep me motivated no matter how you look knowbut lets never give up,i just been training in my home like 8 years

@@bigt9374 well,when the man was at his best he wasn't taking steroids, and even if he lie about that this man has been one those who spot the lite on bodybuilding to get a nice athletic body, and finally I have taken this path because of him, and that should not be the case of every one you know.
Lazar, you're a legend in the industry. Your physique was the first to inspire to get the best abs ever in 2015. Thank you for showing us what's possible
I hope you will be ok soon. Get well soon brother and i wish you will recover completely. You took steroids or not it doesnt matter. Your passion towards bodybuilding was seen in your physique. You worked hard and proved you are the best.
good home truths ! I’m out of bodybuilding for six weeks because of the operation on my appendix and I feel depressed! I can’t train losing and losing my gains. But will come back stronger when I get back.
For me it doesn't matter if you were or not natural, impressive physic regardless. In my opinion the best asthethics ever achieved, at least at screen since I never had the pleasure of seeing you with my own eyes. About the fake nattys people that doesn't claim being on peds its because of the nonsense hate and with such lack of sponsorship involved if they go all out about it. Even if a person wants go clean, it can't due to the close minded society we have got. They even come up with names as Mike O'Tren to expose such a hate in form of irony, but many end going along the joke for the sake of it without the hate factor involved. I wish only the best for you Lazar. I can feel your pain being myself in a similar circumstance for years with the difference that I never achieved anything great with my body before being unable to train (I've got more skinny but I wasn't that big to start with, so less of a lost for me in a sense, it still did felt that I was caught by a train, specially due to the huge physical pain that I got from it for the first years after quitting the gym).
To EVERYONE who comments that they KNOW Lazar took something... guys, I'm the person interviewing Lazar in this vid. I specifically asked him for his muscle girth and size. 42-43 cm arms at 180 cm at stage leanness is not unheard of among natural lifters. I too don't know if Lazar was natty or not, but here's my two cents: Genetics are the most important factor in Bodybuilding - far more important than gear. I've seen freaks of nature way more muscular than Lazar, with regular blood tests to support the claim. Apart from muscularity, genetics play a role in two more ways: 1. Muscle Bellies/Insertions - you can take all the gear you want, but you can't change your proportions. Looks are tremendously influenced by muscle insertions. 2. Body-Fat distribution - I specifically asked Lazar to talk a bit more about that. He said that he stores more fat in his lower back, but I'm willing to bet money that his abs are shredded before his legs (which is unusual, BUT NOT UNHEARD OF). Hence him not taking too many pictures where his legs are visible. Vascularity/skin - also influenced by genetics, but of course they can be influenced by drugs. I know some guys that are more muscular than Lazar. Some on PEDs, some lifetime natty (AFAIK), but none of them look better. It's a matter of genetics and appearance. Lastly, everyone says "this is possible, but you must have one in a billion genetics". Well let's entertain the idea, that someone really does have one in a billion genetics and not that they are cheating the system. I'm not Lazar's personal advocate and tbh before speaking with him I was also "sure" that he took something. After seeing him IRL and learning about his size/measurements I believe his physique is attainable naturally. He has all the signs of crazy genetics - huge build, large hands and a strong handgrip + square jaw and facial hair gainZ. I calculated his FFMI and it's below the 25 cutoff range. It's very hard to accept this. I've trained for 10 years+. Busted my ass like crazy. Reached crazy squat and DL numbers for my build, height. And a lot of my friends look better than me. I also get a lot of shit from other people, about my appearance, but I can't change my genetics. I can only accept what I've been given and continue to work hard + appreciate when hard work meets talent. PS: The guys that I know that have the best genetics don't look that good, because they have no reason to give it their all and be dedicated.
These interviews are very eye opening. He says the regrets NOT taking steroids. Other interviews he says being a professional athlete is not healthy. He’s very well spoken and sounds like he’s come a long way and searched his soul and found answers. Ton of respect to you sir, from California. I hope you find peace and happiness brother.
No matter what happened .. but you had your mark on fitness industry and motivated millions of people including me .. You are hero with your actions and sacrifices .. not how you look now makes you hero or not . War heros lose limbs just to make us live better life.. Will wait u to return brother .. keep being positive..
The last 6-7 minutes of this interview are like GOLD. Bodybuilding can become a drug. Everyone who has experienced an injury can relate to that. We are more than bodies. Take this message home.💪
If he would be honest, he would give back all his millions that he earned because of lies. His "honesty" is a joke, he fell deep down for years, that's making him like this person now.
Interesting he talks about recovery. I'm 37 and I've recently dropped volume by more than half, dropped the weight, shortened the length and frequency of workouts, but upped intensity. I think this is going to be better for gains and longevity👍
I remember that after 2 years of training, when I was 20yo doing only creatine, people on my gym claimed I had to take roids, which was funny to me. Not many people realize that with good genetics, diet, training you can achieve a lot naturally. With Lazar it makes sense, he was never a mass freak, but his main feature was crazy shred, which visually makes muscle look bigger. Dont forget that lighting and camera angles during photoshoots also could make him look bigger than he actually was. I can imagine that he could build a decent mass naturally, and then use Clen to help him get that extra shred.
At the end of the day though, that IMPACT to his physique, was because of Clen... So yeah.... just keep that in mind. WIthout it, he would have looked more washed out. Simple as.
To be honest Lazar we already have our speculations. But that doesn't stop us from idolizing your physique. I'm natty but in a way for someone to risk their health to achieve that crazy physique to inspire other people is enough for me. As Bruce Lee once said "A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at." Natty or not if you are inspiring people to get in shape and be as close as naturally possible to their goals then that's good. As long as you don't advocate the taking of drugs to your fans then we'll always support you brother. Mad respect for your honesty. I'd rather idolize someone who is not natty but open about it instead of someone claiming so hard to be natural but obviously is not.
I was accused of not being natural plenty of times. I have a broad upper body and slim waist as do most of the men in my family. This coupled with muscle fibers in all the right places makes you genetically perfect. People should just accept the fact that there are those who are a perfect fit.
i stoped working out because i didnt see enough preogress & i tought i was to skinny , but now that i go thru old photos im like "damnn i was buff" lol and now im starting to workout more👍🏼
Very informative session from the true legend! No one in the world will take the blame on em what lazar took on him though it was not his fault either!❤️🙏
It's actually great to see you much more content and have dignity. I still remember your words in the first part of this interview. You have a much saner and serene mindset regarding life and fitness now, this is what matters. Besides the injuries, you seem to have recovered from those depressive days completely. We are the same age brother, and believe me, a sane and serene mindset is the only thing that matters in life. So glad to see you this way:)
Good example of sincerity! Tho you're not in your best shape,i still believe you are the best on this industry! Keep the good work and i hope you're pains will pass and you'll be again in a better shape! Love from Romania!
Respect for the very honest video again! Do you think that if a person train very hard, heavy and intensive taking a very small doses of steroids will help for the recovery or just to do deload workouts for two weeks to get the recovery naturally?
You have not mislead anyone in my opinion. whats great about your physique is its unique. The proportions and just the overall esthetic are what impressed me. You know whats great too? You have many other qualities that are of value, besides your physique . The comments here say it all. Every time you put out a video, its always of interest to me. Those videos of you cooking in the woods, omg, tremendous. Whoever does your videography is a real professional too. We share the same interests brother and the same values.
Don't get depress. Lazar you are the only one. Even if your not in good shape now. Your the Inpiration of lots of boby builders. Life is so short. just continue what you are doing be an fitness Instructor. atleast you help someone person to achieve what body do they like you. Your my number 1 Idol Lazar. God Bless to you Brother. from Philippines 👍👍💪💪
I still remember that day when I entered in zym my trainer asked me what kind of physics you love... There were so many wallpapers like kai, brench Warren etc But the physic which I choose that was Lazar and still the wallpaper is on same wall.
Man, you've always been on steroids. And that is not a problem, because you looked really impressive. The problem is that for years you were claiming you're natural.
Endorsement deals. That’s the issue. Steroids are not so controversial anymore and that’s why you see so many of these youtube guys coming out and talking about them. I guess people don’t really care that much anymore when it’s used recreational.
The biggest disadvantage of using steroids is not learning how to increase your testosterone naturally. It just comes down to diet. Good habits before bed time to ensure quality rest. And of course exercise. When you take steroids, it gives you results from the compounds which are a cheat. You won't be motivated to learn all the other education which is actually beneficial to more than just your muscles. It's like cheating on a test. Sure you get the grade. But you didn't actually learn anything or you learned a tiny portion of it.
In my childhood i was a sports person after I started doing job I stopped takingcare of my body as am not interested in bulky body or shretered body, but i started taking care of my body after watching your videos in 2017 now i am going gym atleast 3-4 days in a week to be fit #fitnessfever
Lazar, have you look into Stem cell? I heard Joe Rogan talking about it in his podcast with Mill Gibson. It may help you to reduce the pain in your joint if it doesn't healing you completely. I wish you a good health brother! Stay strong!
I agree with that mindset, in-depth levels of mastery. I never took steroids because I wanted something real/true to my environment, but what about gym equipment is natural, or protein supplements even. I just wanted muscle that was mine & wouldn’t diminish easily, but I too expect greatness from it. I didn’t want dependencies from a survival standpoint. If something catastrophic happened how many pinnacle development figures would turn up bitchtits in the time of trial? My supplementation is practically a doctorate of naturally detailed integrations and compensatory measures/counter balance. It’s not expensive, but it’s not cheap, because like all of us I too need therapeutics for the age & mileage. My route uptakes are all natural, but they’re expensive. None of us have had the proper guidance, & we should keep striving for a better method to offer our Youngbloods coming up. In reference to natural endorphin addiction, somewhat, but I can go without. I just keep a healthy diet with a few maintenance measures. If I stop everything to become a drunk, then I’ll get unhappy with the reflection I see in a month or two. I just can’t afford the mistake time lost & in all honesty, idk about you, but I have other more odd phenomenal reasons for keeping shape and building🌌. I’ve had close encounters with 🛸s, 15ft at my closest. I’ve seen oddities and have had experiences few ever do, & some instances debatably none. I’ve had good experiences, and I’ve had threatening ones. I’ve had a ufo fly at me like comet in traffic only to disappear into thin air once I reached out the other side of the overpass. I’ve seen portals open 20yds from me standing, only to have some dude yell at me through it in some unknown language. Whether he was angry or in distress, idk? I keep shape for a reason, I’m no stranger to the gauntlet of life! I don’t take drugs & I can’t afford to lose my credibility over an indulgence, but I keep believing in those stars & an existing surpassing this places limitations. I’ve suffered great complications from some of these experiences only to have weak men I’d lay waste outside of civil constructs threaten, taunt, & accuse me over these incidents. I deserve a medal for enduring them & not harming their chaff lines! Embarrassments to manhood in my opinion, scared, cowardly. No adventure or life within them. Many a star 💫 has befriended my presence. It might sound arrogant, but I’m not one to trifle with... End thoughts, you’re doing the right things! Ain’t nothing wrong with therapeutics, ain’t no shame in it if it fixes you up right! It’s your RIGHT! Keep dreaming, keep believing, keep learning, & keep forging for a better path then those before us have laid out!👍🏻 I did not lie! Take care! I wish you luck 🍀
Hey lazar, every time you feel like shit because you dont look the way that you want to , just remember that its not the body that makes you inmortal its your knowledge. Y como lo transmitas a ese conocimiento es lo que te hace trascender por generaciones. Thanks for sharing your experience and for being honest. I think that is what makes you inmortal in this industry
I started working out because of you, now I stopped going to the gym coz of financial issues, hard times etc.. But once I'm back i want to get trained by you.. Please if you read this, your reply would means alot.. Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰❤️, you've so many die hard fans here..

To EVERYONE who comments that they KNOW Lazar took something... guys, I'm the person interviewing Lazar in this vid. I specifically asked him for his muscle girth and size. 42-43 cm arms at 180 cm at stage leanness is not unheard of among natural lifters.
I too don't know if Lazar was natty or not, but here's my two cents:
Genetics are the most important factor in Bodybuilding - far more important than gear. I've seen freaks of nature way more muscular than Lazar, with regular blood tests to support the claim.
Apart from muscularity, genetics play a role in two more ways:
1. Muscle Bellies/Insertions - you can take all the gear you want, but you can't change your proportions. Looks are tremendously influenced by muscle insertions.
2. Body-Fat distribution - I specifically asked Lazar to talk a bit more about that. He said that he stores more fat in his lower back, but I'm willing to bet money that his abs are shredded before his legs (which is unusual, BUT NOT UNHEARD OF).
Hence him not taking too many pictures where his legs are visible.
Vascularity/skin - also influenced by genetics, but of course they can be influenced by drugs.
I know some guys that are more muscular than Lazar. Some on PEDs, some lifetime natty (AFAIK), but none of them look better. It's a matter of genetics and appearance.
Lastly, everyone says "this is possible, but you must have one in a billion genetics". Well let's entertain the idea, that someone really does have one in a billion genetics and not that they are cheating the system.
I'm not Lazar's personal advocate and tbh before speaking with him I was also "sure" that he took something. After seeing him IRL and learning about his size/measurements I believe his physique is attainable naturally. He has all the signs of crazy genetics - huge build, large hands and a strong handgrip + square jaw and facial hair gainZ.
I calculated his FFMI and it's below the 25 cutoff range.
It's very hard to accept this. I've trained for 10 years+. Busted my ass like crazy. Reached crazy squat and DL numbers for my build, height. And a lot of my friends look better than me.
I also get a lot of shit from other people, about my appearance, but I can't change my genetics. I can only accept what I've been given and continue to work hard + appreciate when hard work meets talent.
PS: The guys that I know that have the best genetics don't look that good, because they have no reason to give it their all and be dedicated.
Nikola Tomov i am more interested in his meassurements. Chest, shoulders, core,…
Do you have them ?
Thanks for The video!
I want your comment on top! :D
@@AestheticStalik can't compete with coach greg :D
@@_Atomic_impact no, we continued in a different direction, but I can ask next time we film (if we do)
Lazar, you've already made it in the fitness industry. If you can keep your current physique, you will be remembered in history!
Gotta be honest, love these new kind of videos!!
These interviews are very eye opening. He says the regrets NOT taking steroids. Other interviews he says being a professional athlete is not healthy. He’s very well spoken and sounds like he’s come a long way and searched his soul and found answers. Ton of respect to you sir, from California. I hope you find peace and happiness brother.
He regrets *not* taking steroids so much that he goes on to take HGH, clen, and steroids.
Wait, what?!
No matter what happened .. but you had your mark on fitness industry and motivated millions of people including me ..
You are hero with your actions and sacrifices .. not how you look now makes you hero or not .
War heros lose limbs just to make us live better life..
Will wait u to return brother .. keep being positive..
This dude is definitely not natural
You, definitley don't work out !
Thats what he said
Great content LAZAR! Keep them videos coming!!!
The last 6-7 minutes of this interview are like GOLD. Bodybuilding can become a drug. Everyone who has experienced an injury can relate to that.
We are more than bodies. Take this message home.💪
Must Respect Brother 🙌
Mad respect, this guy is a legend and his honesty is even more admirable.
If he would be honest, he would give back all his millions that he earned because of lies.
His "honesty" is a joke, he fell deep down for years, that's making him like this person now.
Interesting he talks about recovery. I'm 37 and I've recently dropped volume by more than half, dropped the weight, shortened the length and frequency of workouts, but upped intensity. I think this is going to be better for gains and longevity👍
your body will thank you for it...
I remember that after 2 years of training, when I was 20yo doing only creatine, people on my gym claimed I had to take roids, which was funny to me. Not many people realize that with good genetics, diet, training you can achieve a lot naturally. With Lazar it makes sense, he was never a mass freak, but his main feature was crazy shred, which visually makes muscle look bigger. Dont forget that lighting and camera angles during photoshoots also could make him look bigger than he actually was. I can imagine that he could build a decent mass naturally, and then use Clen to help him get that extra shred.
At the end of the day though, that IMPACT to his physique, was because of Clen... So yeah.... just keep that in mind. WIthout it, he would have looked more washed out. Simple as.
He was fully on steroids my man.
he doesnt even train hard like all the junkies just some showlifts for camera😂😂😂
You are the best Lazar, keep up with the awesome videos
To be honest Lazar we already have our speculations. But that doesn't stop us from idolizing your physique. I'm natty but in a way for someone to risk their health to achieve that crazy physique to inspire other people is enough for me. As Bruce Lee once said "A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at."
Natty or not if you are inspiring people to get in shape and be as close as naturally possible to their goals then that's good. As long as you don't advocate the taking of drugs to your fans then we'll always support you brother.
Mad respect for your honesty. I'd rather idolize someone who is not natty but open about it instead of someone claiming so hard to be natural but obviously is not.
Mmm very misleading is what these fitness models do but each their own
I was accused of not being natural plenty of times. I have a broad upper body and slim waist as do most of the men in my family. This coupled with muscle fibers in all the right places makes you genetically perfect. People should just accept the fact that there are those who are a perfect fit.
Very good insights here! And a nice view. Bless you Lazar!
Thanks for telling, I think you are still not being completely honest about your dosage but it's progress. We support transparency.
i stoped working out because i didnt see enough preogress & i tought i was to skinny , but now that i go thru old photos im like "damnn i was buff" lol and now im starting to workout more👍🏼
Браво ! Малко са хората в тази среда която говорят по този начин . Горди сме с теб !
Да повечето са тъпи на пуканка и комплексирани, Лазар не е такъв!
Да, много малко са хората, които лъжат на официалния си сайт и после се правят на тъпи, че не знаят какво е клен и САРМ.
Hope our coach greg make a video of this soon !
Very informative session from the true legend! No one in the world will take the blame on em what lazar took on him though it was not his fault either!❤️🙏
It's actually great to see you much more content and have dignity. I still remember your words in the first part of this interview. You have a much saner and serene mindset regarding life and fitness now, this is what matters. Besides the injuries, you seem to have recovered from those depressive days completely. We are the same age brother, and believe me, a sane and serene mindset is the only thing that matters in life. So glad to see you this way:)
Good example of sincerity! Tho you're not in your best shape,i still believe you are the best on this industry! Keep the good work and i hope you're pains will pass and you'll be again in a better shape!
Love from Romania!
Just pump on and a slow comeback to good form is coming bro! Idemooo;)
Loved your transformation earlier now transperency 🔥
Respect for the very honest video again! Do you think that if a person train very hard, heavy and intensive taking a very small doses of steroids will help for the recovery or just to do deload workouts for two weeks to get the recovery naturally?
You have not mislead anyone in my opinion. whats great about your physique is its unique. The proportions and just the overall esthetic are what impressed me. You know whats great too? You have many other qualities that are of value, besides your physique . The comments here say it all. Every time you put out a video, its always of interest to me. Those videos of you cooking in the woods, omg, tremendous. Whoever does your videography is a real professional too. We share the same interests brother and the same values.
Don't get depress. Lazar you are the only one. Even if your not in good shape now. Your the Inpiration of lots of boby builders. Life is so short. just continue what you are doing be an fitness Instructor. atleast you help someone person to achieve what body do they like you. Your my number 1 Idol Lazar. God Bless to you Brother. from Philippines 👍👍💪💪
Lmao, clen don’t do shit for you by itself 😂
Have to appreciate his honesty
Just bcoz of lazar today I am from 95 kg to 72, now I am preparing for mens physiques thank you lazar sir
I still remember that day when I entered in zym my trainer asked me what kind of physics you love... There were so many wallpapers like kai, brench Warren etc But the physic which I choose that was Lazar and still the wallpaper is on same wall.
Man, you've always been on steroids. And that is not a problem, because you looked really impressive. The problem is that for years you were claiming you're natural.
Yeah, why not come clean about that? Nobody would be mad about that
Shut up! Leave him alone, you troll
Facts, he was on a ton of gear..
Endorsement deals. That’s the issue. Steroids are not so controversial anymore and that’s why you see so many of these youtube guys coming out and talking about them. I guess people don’t really care that much anymore when it’s used recreational.
The biggest disadvantage of using steroids is not learning how to increase your testosterone naturally. It just comes down to diet. Good habits before bed time to ensure quality rest. And of course exercise.
When you take steroids, it gives you results from the compounds which are a cheat. You won't be motivated to learn all the other education which is actually beneficial to more than just your muscles.
It's like cheating on a test. Sure you get the grade. But you didn't actually learn anything or you learned a tiny portion of it.
In my childhood i was a sports person after I started doing job I stopped takingcare of my body as am not interested in bulky body or shretered body, but i started taking care of my body after watching your videos in 2017 now i am going gym atleast 3-4 days in a week to be fit #fitnessfever
"My ass was shredded"💪🤣 beast 🙌
Lazar, have you look into Stem cell? I heard Joe Rogan talking about it in his podcast with Mill Gibson. It may help you to reduce the pain in your joint if it doesn't healing you completely. I wish you a good health brother! Stay strong!
Yes, watch my previous video.
I agree with that mindset, in-depth levels of mastery. I never took steroids because I wanted something real/true to my environment, but what about gym equipment is natural, or protein supplements even. I just wanted muscle that was mine & wouldn’t diminish easily, but I too expect greatness from it. I didn’t want dependencies from a survival standpoint. If something catastrophic happened how many pinnacle development figures would turn up bitchtits in the time of trial? My supplementation is practically a doctorate of naturally detailed integrations and compensatory measures/counter balance. It’s not expensive, but it’s not cheap, because like all of us I too need therapeutics for the age & mileage. My route uptakes are all natural, but they’re expensive. None of us have had the proper guidance, & we should keep striving for a better method to offer our Youngbloods coming up.
In reference to natural endorphin addiction, somewhat, but I can go without. I just keep a healthy diet with a few maintenance measures. If I stop everything to become a drunk, then I’ll get unhappy with the reflection I see in a month or two. I just can’t afford the mistake time lost & in all honesty, idk about you, but I have other more odd phenomenal reasons for keeping shape and building🌌. I’ve had close encounters with 🛸s, 15ft at my closest. I’ve seen oddities and have had experiences few ever do, & some instances debatably none. I’ve had good experiences, and I’ve had threatening ones. I’ve had a ufo fly at me like comet in traffic only to disappear into thin air once I reached out the other side of the overpass. I’ve seen portals open 20yds from me standing, only to have some dude yell at me through it in some unknown language. Whether he was angry or in distress, idk? I keep shape for a reason, I’m no stranger to the gauntlet of life! I don’t take drugs & I can’t afford to lose my credibility over an indulgence, but I keep believing in those stars & an existing surpassing this places limitations. I’ve suffered great complications from some of these experiences only to have weak men I’d lay waste outside of civil constructs threaten, taunt, & accuse me over these incidents. I deserve a medal for enduring them & not harming their chaff lines! Embarrassments to manhood in my opinion, scared, cowardly. No adventure or life within them. Many a star 💫 has befriended my presence. It might sound arrogant, but I’m not one to trifle with...
End thoughts, you’re doing the right things! Ain’t nothing wrong with therapeutics, ain’t no shame in it if it fixes you up right! It’s your RIGHT! Keep dreaming, keep believing, keep learning, & keep forging for a better path then those before us have laid out!👍🏻 I did not lie!
Take care! I wish you luck 🍀
You te legacy will not be forgote. Greetings from Romania!
Hey lazar, every time you feel like shit because you dont look the way that you want to , just remember that its not the body that makes you inmortal its your knowledge. Y como lo transmitas a ese conocimiento es lo que te hace trascender por generaciones. Thanks for sharing your experience and for being honest. I think that is what makes you inmortal in this industry
We've known for years you're on juice, but you still put on the work and dedication so kudos either way :)
Lol.
With steroids or without, he will be the best fitness model. I'm very proud that he is from my country!
Mike thurston
Me too
I wouldn't be proud of a liar.
He can be on whatever, we just want the truth. Why lie anyway?
@@alfredoh1089 He isn't a liar,just watch the whole video
Next to the previous video, I was hoping you will be sincere about steroids. You will gain so much respect from the community who was behind you
Keep up the great work and variety of content! Greetings from Lovech! Stay safe, strong and hungry!
I started working out because of you, now I stopped going to the gym coz of financial issues, hard times etc.. But once I'm back i want to get trained by you.. Please if you read this, your reply would means alot.. Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰❤️, you've so many die hard fans here..
