Prologue

Hello, my name is Peter Stoychev and I’m a strength trainer and online coaching specialist from Bulgaria. I’m a Minimalist and I seek simplicity and efficiency in everything I do. This training philosophy is the result of nearly 30 years of constant physical training and experimentation with a number of sports.

Credit goes to legends in the field of strength training like Pavel Tsatsouline, Ivan Abadjiev, Andy Bolton, Dorian Yates and others, for their great books and teachings on the topic. Reading and learning from the best in the field is a passion of mine and the journey is never over. Seeking knowledge and mastery is a never-ending quest.

I have 10+ years of experience as an international model. This is a lifestyle that requires you to maintan your health, look and physique as best you can all the time. It has contributed significantly to my understanding of how to achieve a balanced lifestyle.

I specialize in online coaching of the technique and principles of kettlebell, barbell and bodyweight training. I’m commited to helping people become strong and enhance their lifestyle in a simple way.

Principles

Mastering the fundamentals with bodyweight, kettlebell and barbell, plus stretching.

Principles

Mastering the fundamentals with bodyweight, kettlebell and barbell, plus stretching.

System

This training system combines three types of strength practice in one integrated whole in order to achieve best results for healthy, strong and athletic body.
The modalities are bodyweight, barbell and kettlebell.

Following a program that combines these variables creatively, leads to enhancement of strength, endurance and athletic ability, simultaneously.

Building a solid foundation takes time and attention to detail, technique and breathing. Mastering the basics and becoming strong is a long process and it’s important to simplify things and be consistent.

Varying and changing too much or too often the exercises and/or the program actually produces the opposite effect. The body/organism adapts to a specific stimulus, which is applied for the duration of one training cycle.

Testimonials

Just wanted to say a huge thanks! Peter helped me build a solid fitness foundation - those training tips and mindset shifts were game-changing. Also, shoutout for hooking me up with that amazing barber (seriously, best haircut ever!). He made my time in Bulgaria not just productive, but genuinely fun. Appreciate his passion, patience, professionalism and going the extra mile. Stay awesome!

Guan Weiran Sales and Marketing

Peter's training sessions are systematic, aligned with my goals, acknowledging my body's specific needs and demands and my current level of physical preparedness. Training three times per week for two years built strength and balance, shaped my body, improved my breathing and my heart rate and incresed my bone density. I'm grateful for his attention to detail - taking the time to coach me to perform every exercise right, so that it's effective and safe.

Mariela Todorova Software Engineer

I've only been training with Peter for three months, but my progress is noticeable every single week. It was tough at the beginning, but Peter manages to create a very effective and personalized training plan that makes you feel comfortable.

Adrian Endurance Riding

I trained with Peter for a year and a half and for that time I witnessed my own transformation. When I started training with him I was scared I wouldn't be able to do this, I lacked confidence due to my weight and body shape at the time. With Peter I managed to overcome my fears, I started feeling good in my body and looking forward to my next workout. Results didn't take long. After two months of training my physique visibly started changing. I was getting fitter, more energized and toned. The weight started going down and my body was looking better. He was managing the exercises and weight I was using and slowly increasing the resistance to the point where I was doing exercises and lifting weights I didn't think possible before. I'm very grateful to Peter, not only for his commitment and professional approach, but also for his attitude and motivating me to be active, to workout and feel great in my own skin.

Galina Dicheva Financist

I started working with Peter a few months ago and I strongly recommend him. Every session is packed with energy, motivation and just the right amount of challenge. I didn't usually enjoy working out so much, but he makes it fun and effective. The progress I've seen in my strength, endurance and mindset is incredible. He doesn't just push and encourage you, but he also celebrates every win with you. Thanks Peter!

I have now been training with Peter for over 3 years and I can say it turned my life around, not just physicaly but mostly mental.

Quotes

Impatiently rushing produces no result.

Chinese proverb

Excellence is about sculpting, creating something magnificent that wasn't there before, by artfully changing its shape and form.

Tim Grover

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

Wayne Gretzky

Simplicity is the key to brilliance.

Bruce Lee

Gains don't come from complex routines; they come from simple ones that pay attention to details.

Pavel Tsatsouline

Technique is first and foremost. Improving your technique can be the fastest way to make extremely quick progress. And of course, good technique is essential if you wish to stay injury-free and be in the iron game for a long time. There are a lot of guys in sports who produce good results for a short time and then fade away due to injuries.

Andy Bolton

With muscles, as with everything else, "In union there is strength".

Earle Liederman

To build a superman, slow movements and quick lifts are required.

Bob Hoffman

Desires must be simple and definite. They defeat their own purpose should they be too many, too confusing or beyond a man's training to accomplish.

George S. Clason "The richest man in Babylon"

The point is this: do fewer exercises better and pay attention to details. Street fighters who have polished one or two moves always dominate black belts who know 10 ways to block a punch.

Pavel Tsatsouline

The only thing that separates the elite from all the rest is the fact that the elite are better at the basics than everyone else.

M.Sgt. Duane Stanton

One must achieve the ability to concentrate his mind on the muscles and take them under complete control.

Eugene Sandow

Impatiently rushing produces no result.

Excellence is about sculpting, creating something magnificent that wasn't there before, by artfully changing its shape and form.

Frequently asked questions

We understand that starting a new fitness journey comes with many questions. To help you make informed decisions, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common inquiries about our training approach, online coaching, and strength development. If you don’t see your question here, feel free to reach out – we’re happy to assist you!

1. Can I have a productive training session at home?

2. What is required?

3. The Squat is bad for the knees, right?

4. Is the Deadlift bad for the low back?

5. How does online coaching actually work?

Epilogue

I firmly believe the training process can be much simpler and more efficient when the emphasis is on the essentials, technique and a specific training approach, which developes athleticism, health and strength in a simple, minimalist way, without focusing too much on new high-tech equipment, exercise machines, innovations and new trends in the industry.

The “old”, vintage, tried and tested methods, continue to be as effective as they’ve ever been and it’s not necessary to purposely complicate the process. Nothing beats simplicity.

Most people have a few relatively simple desires, to be healthy, to feel good in their own body and skin and to be confident with their reflection in the mirror. This can be achieved with minimalist training design, focused on a select few movements, which are to be performed with perfect form in training cycles.

This is a sport method adapted to people who aren’t pro athletes. It’s a highly effective way to transform your physique, enhance performance and boost quality of life!

Stay Strong!

Excellence is about sculpting, creating something magnificent that wasn’t there before, by artfully changing its shape and form.
