Miloš Šarčev is a legend in every sense of the word!
Born on 17th January 1964 in Bečej, 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!Miloš Šarčev
