Appropriate nutrition

Workouts without nutrition cannot get you the results you are looking for. Lazar started exercising and lifting heavy weights at the age of 10-11. However, because he was unaware of the need for proper nutrition, he did not provide his body with adequate nourishment. Having spent a grueling day consisting of basketball practice in the morning and weightlifting in the evening, his body was starved of calories and nutrition. After realizing the value of a balanced diet, he meets the nutritional needs of his body.

He has eaten so well that he can easily reduce his body fat from 12% to 3%. However, he refrains from adopting a low-calorie diet, since such diet programs lead to a loss of muscle mass in his body. He eats foods high in protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats to nourish his body. To meet the growing needs of his overworked body, he eats six small meals a day. After every two hours, he feeds his body healthy meals like oatmeal, tuna, chicken fillets, salad, etc.

Consistency in diet and training

Most of us believe that our goal is achieved once we acquire our desired body. However, the truth is that if we are only content and returning to the old sluggish routine, we cannot expect to maintain the pleasing results. Lazar consistently dedicates his time and attention to keeping his body in good shape. He shares that if he strays from a healthy lifestyle and into a sluggish lifestyle, it doesn’t take long before he’s out of shape. Maintaining the chiseled figure is a constant and never-ending process. So, if you’re looking for multi-year results, stick to regular workouts and a healthy diet plan.

Dietary Supplements – For Optimal Health

In addition to being a fitness expert, Lazar is also a nutritionist who takes supplements according to his body type.

Glutamine – For a long time he has sworn dietary supplements, namely glutamine. Because high-intensity strength training and cardio workouts lower glutamine levels, thereby weakening the immune system, it is crucial for bodybuilders to supplement with glutamine.

Creatine – He avoids creatine because his stomach sensitivity is not compatible with any form of this supplement. Before consuming any supplement, you should consult your nutritionist to determine its suitability. Otherwise you can endanger your body and health.

Protein Powder – Consuming protein powder is essential after strenuous workouts because it provides your body with amino acids that are not naturally produced in your body. Among all proteins, whey protein is the most commonly used form of protein. It can be taken post-workout or with meals. Contained in essential amino acids, the protein accelerates muscle growth and the repair process in your body. Lazar eats whey protein in his snacks to help his body build muscle.

workout with music

The former basketball pro becomes an avid music fan rarely works out without playing his favorite tunes. He mainly works on new tracks by Rick Ross, old classics by Tupac and Slim Thug. Music distracts his attention from the chaos of life and focuses on music and workouts. Since music has a wonderful ability to relax your mind, you too can develop the habit of listening to rock music and seeing spectacular changes in your body and mood.

Vigorous workouts

The stud trains vigorously to rip his body apart. He lifts heavy weights to increase muscle mass in his body. He constantly changes his workouts to get the right workout for a specific muscle group. To achieve the same goal, he associates different days of the week with different parts of the body. Lazar believes that since there are no quick fixes for healthy and excellent physique, you must give your 100 percent to enjoy rewarding results.

Lazar practices training for five to six days a week and his rest time depends on his fatigue. He gives his body enough time to complete the recovery process. He also does high-intensity cardio workouts that are less time-consuming but far more impactful than regular workouts. He spends twenty minutes doing cardio and doing sprints to reduce body fat (rather than muscle).
