Pratik’s bodybuilding career started in 2012, not without some initial bumps along the road. 

Initially, during his workouts, he struggled to grip the equipment. 

"People thought I'm weak," he said. But, thanks to hours of hard work in the gym and a can-do mindset, Pratik proved people wrong. 

He wants to pass on the message that anyone can do anything if they have a goal in mind and stay focused. 

Pratik’s first participated in a competitive event in 2016. 

"My family are very happy and proud of me and my friends are very supportive and helpful."

His morning kicks off early with a 30-minute run. 

After a healthy breakfast, which also comprehends special diet food, in the afternoon Pratik hits the gym for two hours. He snaps some shots for his Instagram whilst training, keeping his followers updated on his progress. 

Another 30-minute run in the evening concludes his day.

When he’s not at the gym, Pratik likes to play cricket with his friends.
