Marijan Lipsinic Marijan (pronounced “Mar-ian”) Lipsinic
was born on December 5, 1969 in Zajacko Selo,
near Ozalj, Croatia, a beautiful country in
Southeastern Europe where the sport of
bodybuilding is highly regarded. Marijan’s
passion for bodybuilding began early at the
age of 13. He has always admired muscular
physiques, even as a kid when he was playing It was at the age of 16 that Marijan first stepped into the gym where he became quite excited with his workout experience and became a regular attending three times per week. This was a bit difficult and complicated to arrange, as Marijan had to travel 15 miles by train to workout at the closest gym in the nearby city of Karlovac. There were no local gyms where Marijan grew up. The dedication in the gym and to the sport of bodybuilding was evident in Marijan as a year after entering that gym in Karlovac he was on stage, in 1987 competing in his first bodybuilding show, in the junior division for athletes under age of 21. Change along with growth has been a constant in Marijan’s life. He has lived in Slovenia, England, Germany, and the Caribbean prior to moving in late nineties to New York State and then in December 2005 to South Florida. In the early years Marijan admired bodybuilders
such as Arnold Schwarzenegger on stage and enjoyed
watching his movies. Being a fan and competitor
in the sport has resulted in Marijan making the
acquaintance and becoming friends with many other
well-known figures in the sport. Over the years,
Marijan’s appreciation has grown for bodybuilders,
fitness, and figure competitors as he himself
strove to be a top athlete and dealt with the
challenges and sacrifices that are required.
Along the way Marijan has built an impressive
number of competition and enjoys being ranked
as a nationally qualified National Physique
