“First Time I Ever Did That Pose”: Serbian Bodybuilding Legend Reminiscences Upon How Joe Weider Once Taught Him a Great Pose

A Serbian bodybuilding legend is among the most notable figures in the bodybuilding community. His journey to become one of the Pro bodybuilding coaches has been through various untold battles and competitions. However, his victory in the Mr. Universe competition in 1989 got his name written in the history books. 

Even though he has retired from IFBB, Milos Sarcev still coaches and trains bodybuilders impeccably. The coach, who is often seen standing by the sides of other athletes, recently took a moment to recall his best-ever poses, which he did in 1997 and 1998. 

The bodybuilding coach looks back at his flawless poses 

In a recent Instagram post, Milos Sarcev uploaded two throwback pictures of himself from two golden years of his life – 1997 and 1998. Along with the photos, he also wrote a caption that shed light on his incredible journey. Talking about these poses that are in more relaxed form, he wrote, “First time I ever did that pose and there was no mirror in front.” 

For these wonderful poses, he did not forget to give credit to Joe Weider, one of the popular Canadian bodybuilders. Acknowledging the efforts of Weider, he said, “Joe is the one who told me OK Milo, let’s do that front-relaxed pose a little differently, put your weight on your left foot, slightly bend your knee, Raise your right shoulder, look to the right, flex your abs”

But then Sarcev admitted, “Great pose…even though I never really did it perfectly…” labeling the various problems he found within himself.

Milos Sarcev’s inspiring journey

Recently, Sarcev talked about an exciting story about his life. During his journey to Italy, he competed in the European Championship when he was 23. On his way back home, Sarcev met two American women on the boat, who were seasick, so Sarcev helped them and they became friends. After this, they exchanged phone numbers and two women assured him to help when he would come to the US.

After a time, he competed in the Serbian championship and he started getting offers from promoters to guest pose. Talking about how guest posing improved his financial situation. He said, “I made just enough money to get to the United States I only had 428 dollars and 10 cents in my pocket.”

But guess who was ready to help him in the States? The two ladies he helped!
