Pavlak overcame childhood obesity and began bodybuilding in 2019.

He was considered one of the most promising bodybuilders of today. Last year, he won the Brazil U23 regional competition and was named Mr Blumenau.

‘I have no words,’ said his first coach Lucas Cegatti. - I am very proud to have had the opportunity to take care of him as my son.’
