The Man Behind The Physique

With over 20 magazine covers to his credit, titles in numerous countries, qualification for Mr. Olympia in his first pro show and the record for entries into bodybuilding contests at 72... Miloš ŠarÄev is a legend in every sense of the word!

Born on 17th January 1964 in BeÄej, Serbia, he studied Nutritional Technology in the University of Novi Sad before moving to USA in 1987 to pursue his dreams. A glittering bodybuilding career awaited him in his chosen country starting off in 1989 where he won the Mr. Universe title, allowing him to become an IFBB professional in 1991.

His pro debut (the San Jose Pro Invitational) was to be his coming out party as he qualified for his first Mr. Olympia competition at the very first attempt! Known for being in contest shape year-round, Miloš had just raised the bar, demonstrating how an athlete needs to maintain their appearance on a year-round basis. With a new standard being set amongst IFBB professionals, Miloš was a man on a mission! Qualifying for Mr. Olympia is an achievement in itself but to qualify for ten consecutive years, is a true testament to just how good Miloš really was!

Once his competitive career had come to an end he didn’t stop advancing and became known for coaching/ advising professional athletes and future Olympic games medallists. As a nutritionist and strength and conditioning coach for Tim Montgomery, during the ‘PROJECT WORLD RECORD’ team, he went on to succeed in creating the fastest man alive by breaking the 100 meters world record with someone you may remember. A runner had achieved a time of 9.77 seconds. The man, Maurice Greene, achieved this amazing feat with less than nine months of Miloš’ expert coaching!

Everybody has a contest prep guru or coach nowadays. You are constantly force-fed that someone needs to be getting you out of bed and walking you to the kitchen for your early morning protein and carbs meal or placing you on a treadmill for fasted cardio at 5am before tucking you back into bed at night or you can’t possibly ever succeed. Sounds ridiculous right? Not if that man is Miloš ŠarÄev!
