TEAM WILD is founded by Matt Wild and Yo Lazarov, bodybuilding & fitness coaches, athletes and competitors.
Please join us for more info on the latest developments within the sport and our progress throughout our weeks of training and preparations.
2010 has been a decisive moment in Matt’s bodybuilding career. First time EVER to be on stage as a competitor at the Intermediate Under 90kg category and having qualified for the UKBFF Finals, Matt caught the competition bug and realized that his passion for bodybuilding was not just hobby, but a way of life and a mentality he was willing to sustain for life.
The experience gained from training for well over 10 years now and taking it seriously or more scientifically -if you wish- has made Matt a Forum fiend, interested in sharing and learning new information consistently.
Matt can be found on Forum boards such as on Fit Forum and MuscleTalk and is always willing to answer questions, provide tips and advice. So if you see him, do not hesitate to say hello!
In addition to his career as a Bodybuilder and professional life, Matt also has the tremendous pleasure in coaching and training other competing athletes.
Matt is fully qualified in Applied Nutrition and Personal Training (Reps 2+3).

My personal competition or show experience is unlike any other out there – In October 2012 I started training, 6 months later I competed in my first show in the BodyFitness Class. In 5th of May I won my class and Women Overall division against well seasoned athletes.
I made a commitment to my childhood dream to “win a medal”. I signed up for my first UKBFF show while working full time as Rehabilitation Assistant in a Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit, night shifts of 12 hours and day shifts of 13 hours. However, my job in such a volatile and aggressive environment did not hold me back, I kept focused, worked hard & I earned:
