  • @saurabhrai5461
    @saurabhrai5461 Před 5 měsíci +2

    Just look at him he is 65+ and still fit and fine shows that when you train properly and eat properly then it gives you long-lasting results and happiness. He trained hard and ate our desi food doodh, dahi, ghee, and dry fruits which shows that under the influence of Western practices our young athletes left their roots but are still far behind in achieving what sir has achieved.
    Kudos to Muscle Blaze for sharing such an inspiring story and I hope our younger generation will take lessons from it.
