Spanish bodybuilding star Kim Ángel delivered an exclusive live training session at the 9Fitness gym in Valdebebas, Madrid, on Monday, offering fans a rare glimpse into his elite preparation.
Fresh from a fourth-place finish at the prestigious Arnold Classic, the IFBB Pro athlete demonstrated his daily routine, emphasizing technique and intensity required for top-level competition, while also highlighting his strict nutritional regimen.
During the session, Kim Ángel shared insights on everything from load selection to the mind-muscle connection that defines his physique. After completing his workout, the 33-year-old spoke passionately about discipline and motivation.
“Success in this sport is no accident—it’s routine,” he stressed, pointing to the commitment needed to compete on the world’s toughest stages. The event was supported by a leading high-performance nutrition brand, and it further cemented 9Fitness as one of Madrid’s premier training facilities.
“My goal is to reach the top 10 at the Olympia. Being among the 10 best in the world is the level I want to achieve,” said Ángel. “I’m very methodical. What challenges me most are things beyond my control—dealing with sleep, stress. I intend to study and improve those areas. I trust myself, but the subconscious is also crucial, and that’s something I need to work on.”
The bodybuilder, who spent time in Switzerland at the start of his career, remarked, “People know me in the United States, the mecca of bodybuilding. They respect and recognize me.” He added, “You can’t let haters bring you down or let fans lift you too high. You have to put pressure on yourself. That’s the pressure I want to feel. My coach Raúl Carrasco or my wife can push me, but no one else.”
