Nathan Mozango

Bodybuilder

The French-born bodybuilder Nathan Mozango was always keen on building a “God-like” physique and building his strength. However, Nathan wasn’t always interested in bodybuilding and building a large amount of “mass”.

He was more interested in martial arts in his youth. But, as Nathan grew older and he saw the changes take place after years of strength training, he started to respect the sport of bodybuilding a whole lot more.

Needless to say, he went on to compete and won his first competition. Being one of the youngest competitors to ever win a Pro card, Nathan now has his sights set on bigger competitions in the Pro league. He continues to train hard and represent his awesome physique as a testament to what can be achieved with hard work and commitment.

This is his story:

Biography

Martial Arts To Bodybuilding

Nathan Mozango was born in Brussels, Belgium, in 1994. He first started weight training at the age of 15 after he saw his idols such as Bruce Lee and the film “Rocky”. It was these iconic fitness idols that influenced Nathan to become “strong and powerful”. In the beginning, it was martial arts that motivated him the most.

However, as Nathan wasn’t old enough to join a gym, he decided nothing was going to stop him in creating his dream physique. Nathan would workout in his room every day. And after hundreds of pushups, situps, and kung fu techniques which he found online and in magazines, he soon started to see a change in his physique.

Through many months of training, and despite his lack of knowledge when it came to training, a strong and healthy physique started to show. It was at the age of 15 Nathan had the opportunity to take part in his first gym session in school (due to age restrictions previously).

This is when Nathan really started to develop. And by the time he hit 16, he was already signed up to his local gym. This, as Nathan says, “is where the real fun began”. 

Competition History

In May of 2015, Nathan went on to compete in the WBFF Muscle Model event in London. His awesome muscle gains mean Nathan beat his competition hands down. He was awarded with the WBFF Champion Male Model Pro, this is where he won his Pro card.

Winning this competition was a huge milestone for Nathan as the very people he was competing against were some of the very people he admired growing up. As Nathan says, “A dream that became true…where I finished in the first place”.

He is now looking forward to competing in the Pro division for the coming future.

Training

Cardio

Nathan will generally follow a training split routine 5-6 days per week. He will also perform cardio, Nathan’s favorite form of cardio is running. He says he likes to manipulate his effort through the difference terrain.

On the flats, he’ll keep a steady pace, but when he reaches a hill, he’ll increase the speed to get the heart pumping, and on the downhill, he’ll slow right down to bring his heart rate back to normal.

However, when he’s on a mass gain diet, he will limit his jogging routines to 12km per week. On the other hand, when summer comes around and he want’s to be shredded, he will increase his jogging to four times per week.

Abs Training

For his abdominal training, Nathan will work his abs three times per week straight after his jogging session right before breakfast.

Nutrition

Like most bodybuilders, Nathan likes to prepare his meals in advance by cooking everything at once and placing it evenly in containers so he’s never without a healthy and balanced meal.

His protein sources are mainly lean chicken breast, and the fats occasionally come from peanut butter and virgin olive oil and eggs, and his carbs come from brown rice and sweet potatoes.

This diet has served him well over the years in becoming one of the best youth competitors from France where he’s managed to grow some serious size and strength in the process.
