The goal of most bodybuilding athletes is to compete at Mr Olympia. By holding a pro show in India, we needed to present Indian bodybuilders an opportunity to get a direct entry to Mr Olympia, which can otherwise be an arduous process. Winners will get a greater chance of winning sponsorships and endorsements, which will popularise bodybuilding in the country, make it a legitimate and mainstream sport, enable athletes to earn good money, and give them global recognition,” Aman Puri mentioned.

All the opponents have been professionals of their fields and what adopted was a stellar present of muscularity, muscle mass, symmetry and stability.
