The year 2018 has proved to be a sparkling one for the Indian bodybuilding with two back-to-back titles in one month . First Sunit Jadhav won the Mr. Asia Championship, and now Rabha’s win has put the icing on the cake.

Advice on Diet
According to Rabha, the diet intake of a body builder should be protein-rich. Protein supplements are expensive and often difficult for a bodybuilder to afford these. Due to this reason, on many occasions, bodybuilders give up the sport, which is a sad reality. Aspiring bodybuilders need continuous government aids to keep their dreams alive.
We hope that Rabha will continue to set higher goals for himself and keep winning glories for the country. We wish him all the best for his future endeavors.
“I love bodybuilding and will continue to do so my entire life. I will also try and inspire upcoming bodybuilders.”~ Golap Rabha.
