Sangram Chougule is an Indian professional bodybuilder who lives in Pune(India) holding around 16 national and international bodybuilding championships throughout his 20 years of journey with sheer determination towards body training and healthy nutrition. The Indian hulk who represents the ultimate passion of India for bodybuilding throughout the entire world, born in a middle-class family of 6 members in the Kolhapur district of Maharastra where young Sangram grew up in a poor neighborhood and his parents weren't able to pay the sporting club fees. The success of his journey has not been written in a day, a month, or a year. It took him years of hard work, dedication, sacrifice & a strong desire to do or die.
After completing his schooling, when he was pursuing his college degrees, he decided to do bodybuilding, back in 2001, and during the next three years of graduation, only his actual career of bodybuilding started to take off. He participated in Inter-college competitions and got a lot of praise which further encouraged him to fight more competitions.
"It's my passion. You can say it’s my first love."
-Answered by Mr. Chougule during a conversation with a reporter from Times of India in 2012 when he won the 'Mr. India Title' twice the same year, gaining more attention from the media as an inspirational icon to his followers. Because of the consistency showed for the passion he loved, his muscles grew massive with time and the expenses on bodybuilding grew thrice of his job salary which led him to rethink his bodybuilding career when he received financial help from his close supporters who didn't let his achievements & dedication go in vain. After almost a decade of determination in bodybuilding, Sangram won the ‘Mister India’ title in a championship at Goa(India) in 2010. From this moment, he dedicated his life to bodybuilding and never looked back no matter what the financial situation was or how hard he needed to balance his professional & family life.
The right structure to your goal setting starts with the right plan. Most of us are in a habit of starting in a hurry after getting a quick motivating session and giving up soon after we feel no signs of progress. This happens when we lack the right plan for our goals. In this case, it is always consistent hard-work and gaining quality nutrition which can't be explained in a simpler form than the bodybuilder did:
"It’s very simple if you follow these simple rules - Work hard, eat healthy food, and take proper rest."
Apart from his self-gained stardom and influencing people around India and the world, he is the owner of his own founded Physc Gym operating around 8 branches in Maharastra till now. When asked for advice he would like to throw for other struggling fitness lovers, he summarized:
"To be a fitness model you have to be loyal to yourself, never cheat your workout and diet, and train under a good trainer or coach in a good gym. You have to have patience because to achieve something you have to give it time."
Well, not necessarily everybody wants to be a fitness model, but definitely, most of us want to prosper a happy life which surely requires a fit body and a healthy mind. Your patience and being loyal to your dreams will help you the most in making them true.
