Training

Just like anyone else, Mojtaba also has days in the gym where he doesn’t feel motivated to train. However, it’s his mentality during these moments that sets him apart from the rest. Mojtaba is willing to grit it out no matter how little motivation he has – sticking to the training plan and seeing it through.

This mentality is even more important during Mojtaba’s competition preparations. During this phase, Mojtaba has to be extra diligent about his training and diet to be able to step on stage in his best version.

Basic Bodybuilding Approach

As for his workouts, Mojtaba sticks to the good old fashioned heavy multi-joint exercises. He avoids machines and all the ‘fancy’ equipment and instead trains like Golden Era bodybuilders. Sticking to 8-12 reps between sets and focusing on his mind-muscle connection.

Mojtaba also uses cardio to get lean before a contest or a photo shoot. However, cardio is reduced during his off-season where he tries to pack on as much muscle as possible.

Nutrition

Mojtaba’s diet is all about fueling his body with healthy calories. This includes getting enough protein to grow his muscles, carbohydrates to have the energy for workouts, and good fats to support his hormones and general health.

Naturally, Mojtaba will reduce his calories from carbs when he wants to get leaner.  He’ll also cut back on fats as they’re very calorie-dense. In terms of supplements, he might increase his vitamin D3, zinc, and magnesium as this helps to keep his testosterone levels high and preserves muscle during a cut.
