Angelo Szoma

My name is Angelo Szoma, I am a 23 years old and I'm an IFBB Men's Physique bodybuilder. I was born on November 22nd, 1997 and was raised in Wroclaw, Poland. From a young age I have always been very competitive and loved to see myself progress in anything I started. The drive to always being the best was always overpowering my mentality, there was never any room for giving up. As a kid, I was always curios about how things work. I used to just sit and think about ways of improving or making something easier. Knowing that I have a very competitive nature and a curios mind, I combined the two together and tried out a few sports in my early school days. From playing football for the school team to playing basketball. I started improving physically yet it felt like to me there was something missing. I wanted to not only better my speed, agility, strength. I wanted to better my mind knowing there's more that can be done. This included finding out what the limits of my body actually were, therefore I tested myself. Shortly after I became fascinated in the world of engineering, trying to solve problems and find how to simplify and make things work under less stress. The key was knowledge and there it was the light bulb to try something new. I found my home. The gym. The iron was what unlocked my true potential. Studying engineering along with training became my addiction. I studied the human body and the different techniques that can be used to overcome certain blocks that the mind will put in place to try stop you from doing certain things like. It was like my own human engineering project on my self. I only had one goal, it was to know my body and how it reacts to certain things in certain ways with the research I have done over the years. Knowing what way to feed nutrition into my body, then I knew I will get the best results. Then it happened my body started developing muscle at a speed I never once gained at and I knew I have unlocked the perfect ratio of my bodying know what to train and when to train that muscle group to get the best results. I started to see that all the books, all the equations, all the little changes have started paying off for me and my body started taking shape and size to a point where I was starting to get recognition not only from my community but from around the internet and my name has started to take interest of big companies in the fitness industry. I knew that it was time for me to take this to another step and join the people that have taken the same path as me to finding out the limitations of the body and taking it to that next level. It was time for me to use this knowledge and compete against only the best in the country it was time for me to become a mens physique competitor. We all have set backs in life and knowing that it was my first time on the stage I had to perfect my posing but the fear got over me and I made a mistake as we humans  do, in my first competiton I came last and I am actually grateful to my self that I managed to stand infront of 5,000 people and show my body, it was by far the biggest audience and mind barrier I had to overcome. Because I took such a big loss and spent all that time and dedication starving my self from the food just to lose,  I knew that the next time I can only get better. With experience comes comfort and I was more comfortable the second time round on the stage and I came in 5th place which I was happy about because the first time I was 11th. with progress coming along I was enjoying this competitive nature as I knew I was not the best but I also know that I will be the best one day. I Know that I can only get better and I had support of the companies that were there cheering me on giving me products and supplement that will aid in my battle for the first place. The next competition I was a champion among 3 people which was my recent competiton I trained harder than ever I ate more strict and cleaner than I ever have before and thanks to my discipline and hard work I managed to get a trophy and an invite to the Arnold classic in Barcelona. The more I learn and the better I become I will not stop till I am the best in the world and I know it will happen because my drive, my ambition and my knowledge has the potential for it and now I want to help people achieve what I am achieving and show them that nothing  is out of reach if you have someone aiding you along the way and feeding your mind only what is right and will help you find your true potential.
