Milos Sarcev

Born in Becej, Serbia, Milos had always been a lover of fitness from an early age, taking part in soccer, basketball, karate, judo, aikido and swimming in high school. These sports led him into the gym, originally weight lifting simply to gain strength and improve his athletic ability. Milos' new fascination for the industry motivated him to learn the science behind bodybuilding. The Mind enrolled at the University of Novi Sad (Prehrambena Tehnologija), where he trained to become a Nutritional Specialist. This education would prove invaluable in his later years. After graduating from College, Milos was keen to put what he'd learned into action - he began testing numerous different training methods to optimize fat loss and muscle gains. By the age of 24, in 1988, the Serbian was on the way to achieving one of the greatest physiques in the world. It was at this point that he moved to America to chase his dream of earning his Pro Card. The Mind's first competition was the 1988 AAU Mr. Universe in the Light-Heavyweight category. Although he didn't win, he placed a very respectable 3rd, gaining experience and exposure in the industry. After his debut show, Milos stepped up his training in the gym, working hard to achieve his dream physique. A year later, he came back strong, winning the 1989 WPF Mr. Universe in the same category as his first. As well as taking home the trophy, Milos had earned his Pro Card, realizing his ambition of becoming a professional bodybuilder. The Mind's first competition as a pro was the 1991 Niagara Falls Pro Invitational, where he placed 4th. Over the course of the next 8 years, Milos appeared in over 50 shows, gaining more recognition for his hard work. By 2003, at the age of 39, the Serbian had become a legend in the sport. However, he wanted to give back to the sport and began training athletes. Following his retirement from competing, Milos became one of the greatest coaches in the world. He trained the likes of Flex Wheeler, Bob Paris, and Lee Labrada, guiding them to many successes.
