@Divyansh Kherde I know... Mr. Aich was short... but, please don't underestimate his abilities by his size. I bow to Mr. Rammurthy and Dara Singh also... but, lastly all of them were Bharatiyas!
@GENETIC BEAST But, there are many WESTERN BODYBUILDERS who are of that size... and still they are huge... but, according to you these guys are not. You are such a racist man!!! 😡😡
Sadly a lot of Indian men today haven't continued the tradition. We had a deep bodybuilding culture in the past that's finally coming back to life nowadays.
"Always try to coax & not force your muscles to grow" "A few repetitions correctly performed is of more benefit than any number done in a clumsy way" Love these bits of wisdom. Looking forward to the posing video, your previous how to pose videos were already great & controlling the muscles & posing is really something us naturals need to learn more.
A secret advantage Indian bodybuilders have is yoga, those poses build great mind body connection, stimulate nerve growth, and blood vessel growth. Specifically learning a handstand made my back muscles explode, it's a whole different burn
Yeah, it brought me back to training. Just, I dunno, I can relate to these guys more I belive. Ofcourse, I don't have a life like they had, but it just feels more pure you know.

Their physique would make a bit more sense when you get to know some of the history of the region. Wrestling gyms called Akhara were all over the country and discipline in diet and lifestyle was well practiced. Having big bulky wrestler physique was appreciated. So the transition to bodybuilding from a wrestling culture may not have felt that new. Nonetheless, these guys must've been very competent, dedicated and hard working on their craft. Some of them are just unbelievable. So cool.
No. If you see Indian kings of jharkhand chhattisgarh areas, they are around 5.10 or 6. The people of North India were also bulky and around 6-6.4 in height. The Kerala people were 5.4-5.10. They still made it.
One of the biggest tells of steroid use is the muscles behind the neck start to form a valley shape, if you look at these guys their necks have no such formation
These authors and bodybuilders are so clear minding in their writing even as a second language at the time of the century. It's kinda amazing to see all that's possible with the mind and body of we have discipline.
@@flymadfox5769 it may be translated, I’m not sure, but English is and was a first language for many people in India, especially pre-independence, and for certain pockets of Indian society (ie the more well off and privileged Indians at the time)
The squatting on the toes was actually very common among Indian strongmen and wrestlers, I’ve seen it referred too as a “Hindu Squat” and I’ve personally gotten a lot out of it, you obviously can’t overload it as much as a regular back squat but the Hindu Squat allows for a deeper knee bend and engages the calf/foot/Achilles tendon more. Great exercise imo but def not a wholesale replacement for the back squat.
Ah interesting, I have heard of this Hundu Squat before. I can't believe I didn't make the connection while preparing the video! Thank you for your insight
"No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable." - Socrates
My uncle from India looked like these guys, he always said I never used steroids, I was like how?? He was working in a factory and basically a machine part flew off hit him in the chest. And the doctor said if it wasn't for the muscles on his chest he would of been dead!! But he was huge everyone thought he was on steroids but he was in his mid 80s when he passed, but he said eating sleeping and staying away from drugs. Also he always said if you do something do it properly if you can't then don't bother and get professional. The mind set was different back then
Indians are generally very obedient of parents and Indian parents often associate steroids with drugs (which is kinda true) and absolutely abhor them. Also, he might've been a pure vegetarian which prevented him from using steroids since many have the misconception that steroids contain animal products like albumin (found in eggs)
if you dont mind me asking, why is it that when i see a lot of videos about indian fitness it tends to say that India is very unfit or have undeveloped bodies. As it seems India has a strong fitness culture.
@@jmgonzales7701 India is huge country, after the Bengal famine caused by the British Raj, Indian bodies adapted to conserving food. My uncle was from the Punjab, they do wrestling and body building from a very young age, so in his area the mentality was different, also they were meat eaters unlike most of India are vegetarian. Just put it this way he hides to tell me they would climb ropes and pull massive chains in the factory they worked in. The funny thing was he said the woman would prefer a fat man as it means you are wealthy. And a fit man with abs was soon as a hard worker and he had a weak income.
My dad has some crazy stories of his Indian step-dad, one of them being how he picked a guy up by a single leg of a chair and threw him out of a bar, (he was the bouncer). I can't even pick up a chair by itself from 1 leg of it, so I can't imagine how he did it with a guy sitting in the chair. Another story being how he was angry one time and took an axe and threw it impossibly far, like it just kept going. Maybe the stories are exaggerated but he swears the guy was special. Said he didn't know a single person who could out run him, out bike him, there was nobody that could catch up to the guy.
A quick tip...m an Indian and that B C Ghosh is the great Bishnu Charan Ghosh..who is the brother of the author of the great Yogi and author of "Autobiography of a Yogi" that book which is popular in whole world. They used some concentration yogic breathing in their exercise.. the most important equipment in their routine was breath..the prana..the vital life force..now which is totally forgotten in modern gym culture
Wow. I didn't know this. I've read autobiography of a yogi and thoroughly enjoyed it and practice yoga too. Can you shed some more light on what breathing exercises they did? It would be of great help to me as I'm a skinny teenager trying to become stronger.
@@shivanshsinha3728 try kumbhaka during exercise very slowly don't do it forcefully slowly steadily take ur time..the kumbhaka or the breath retaintion is where the prana is accumulated and through concentration direct that prana the vital lyf force to that particular muscle and visualize it growing and getting stronger..it's lyk a meditation
Wow now I know how my grand father did it. He passed away before I was born and my dad always spoke about how jacked he was. Old timer won a local boxing tournament in 1949 and was allegedly the most jacked guy in his weight class.
As a former wrestler, the bridge position is actually a very effective neck exercise! There’s a reason why we still do it daily before practice. Adding rotating your neck to different angles, then spinning your body 180 degrees. Then repeating neck rotation while facing downwards, with hands behind your back. Adding weights to this would be insane.
Fun fact. One of the authors of the book, B.C. Ghosh was brother of Pramahansa Yogananda, a renowned Yogi and philosopher of India. His book "Autobiography of a Yogi" is still read by a lot of people. Ghosh himself was a practicing Hatayogi.
@@funkybrain682 Dude, the oldest texts on Yoga by Paaniny date back to around 200 BC. In his time it was a well practiced art and since then there has been a lot of discussion on Yoga in ancient texts. Figurines of yoga postures have been from ancient Harappan sites, dating back 2500-1900 BC. Come on. Edit. What you think of yoga is Hathayoga, just a part of a whole larger discipline. There are other kinds of yoga. Check out the meaning of the word "Yoga" (it doesn't mean exercise/drills/gymnastics etc) and why it means what it means.
Yoga is only consist of asnas that siting in a place. We cant build muscles with yogasnas. Yoga is lazy peoples exercise . And some of the yoga poses are too dangerous. Pls search for yoga induced injury
And another fun fact : Bikram Chowdhury of the hot yoga fame was the disciple( in physical culture ) of Bishnu Charan Ghosh ( of Kolkata, formerly Calcutta)in his youth.
I'm proud and fortunate enough to be born in a country where these men belong who were way ahead of their time... Thank you brother for bringing out such a vintage and precious content. Please make videos on "Manohar Aich" and "Gama the Wrestler". Love and respect from India 🇮🇳🙏💪
Bruh...not a lot of people know about this. Infact among Indians I am guessing less than 0.1% know about India's bodybuilding past shown in this video. As a person who got into bodybuilding last year, I am amazed at the photographs shown in this video. Absolutely amazing.

@@jmgonzales7701 prolly people that live downtown, and are into dating. big cities. and ppl with money and the genes. same in canada with indian and pakistanis.. we loved lifting.. but, if we were poor and back home... IDK. Lots of strength sports aren't rewarded in many indian families. i always lifted as did my friends most of em, be em hispanic, chinese, indian, white, black, etc. but i am canadian. and grew up making the right diet eventually but overeating as a kid.
8th exercise is fire. I was doing this since primary school in Poland. We had great PE teacher mad about gymnastics, kettle bells and also weights. I was doing this version, but also one with lying on flat bench where you grab barbell with under grip and slightly bent elbows. Then you just use your shoulders to bring it behind your head as far and low as possible. I am doing this until now and it's just amazing.
Yup. Our local gym(India) had an old master. He used to recommend that. He was also the only person who would examine you shirtless to make a chart of excercises for you.
I envy you. My PE teachers in Poland only cared about football or basketball. And I couldn't stand ball games. I've always loved individual athletics, gymnastics, calisthenics etc. I wish there was more of that in schools
There is also a legendary bodybuilder named Ironman Nilmani Das.. His books are perfect in every bodybuilding, physical culture aspects. He also written books for women. His books were including Yogik exercises(Yoga) also, but they are in Bengali.
if you dont mind me asking, why is it that when i see a lot of videos about indian fitness it tends to say that India is very unfit or have undeveloped bodies. As it seems India has a strong fitness culture. From what i see Wrestling tends to be deep rooted in asia, you see it India, middle east and even as far as Mongolia.
I'm in my early 50's and have been working out since my 20's. I wish I'd known this golden bodybuilding advice back then "Always try to coax and not force your muscles to grow". Instead of following the workout routines of pro bodybuilders in muscle mags of the day. Muscle & Fitness, Iron Man, etc.
There are old pictures from the late 1890s showing fitness guys squatting on their toes with light weight and then regular flat-footed squats a few decades later. I think people over time started using heavier weights during squats and wanted to have better balance and control to lessen the chance of injuries and that's why the transition to flat foot squats happened.
The old timers were probably seeking a balance of control and bulk. These days control is thrown out the window and it's all bulk. It's a shame. Having good muscle control is much more beneficial than big muscles for health.
with the lack of power rack back in the day, I think they do not lift as heavy as today's powerlifters or bodybuilders, yet they still build impressive physique. I think this just shows that even "light" weights can do wonders if done with very good control and quality form and enough repetition

They got the results. Exercises were evolving back then.. . Today we see the finished versions. India is a huge country North and south people look different. It depends where they are from. Genetics is important. Some bits of wisdom.. slow exercises.. mind muscle connection is very interesting. You are doing a great job.. keep it up..
Genetics are very important! I hate to admit to it but I’d honestly put genetics as being 50% of your gains. Hard work and diet obviously help but if you don’t have the genetics you will not look that good
You forgot the most important factor: time. Those guys dedicated all their time for years, if not decades to bodybuilding, they didn't have tiktok to brag about their "19 years old insane 3 months transformation (pure natty I swear, the needles on my desk are for my diabetes)".
@@brianmeen2158 You're lying. That's just an excuse. Genetics do not represent 50% of your gains lol what a bunch of nonsense. You retards will find all the excuses in the world to justify your own shortcomings. Sit down
Bruh old-school people just built different man. Stuff like this makes me understand how we became such a dominant species. Intelligence, stamina and stubbornness, just won't ever stop quitting as long we got that fight in us.
Long head of biceps crosses the shoulder and is therefore involved in shoulder flexion. There’s nothing wrong with finishing a curl with a bit of shoulder flexion for this reason, as even for maximal bicep development (without considering other muscles) it’s still helpful.
Food quality is a huge element here. When people say it’s just calories in and calories out, you are being lied too. Primarily organic Whole Foods (and a loooot of it) + exercise is the play.
One of the things that stands out to me is the number of sets and reps in the program. These guys were getting great results from just one set of around 10 reps, but not going all the way to failure like in H.I.T or Dorian Yate's Heavy Duty Training.
No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.
😂 i always laugh when someone makes these ridiculous statements Like cool live your life, but if a man doesn’t wanna lift or be healthy be can lmao. Get out of here.

@@rahulchakraborty8916 they are in fact muscular but they are mostly non vegetarian eating a turn off eggs chicken mutton or drinking.. god knows how much litres of milk everyday and there "akhada culture" is the key and result of their bodies. and I am a Mahathas and eating non veg since my birth naturally muscular 6.3 it may be because of my diet or genetics who knows but not beef tho boz it is banned I am not denying the fact that vegetarians can build muscles but there are two many supplements involve and if you don't know India is the among largest beef exporters it is just a big hypocrisy at this point band inside export outside.
@@vanarqwq3660 I know India is a big exporter of beef... not consumer! And talking about supplements... really you think in this so called new India... there are no such bodybuilder because beef is banned? Are you serious? So, according to you... if a Hindu is vegetarian/vegan and he takes no supplement... also not having some awesome genetic qualities... the person can't become a bodybuilder, right?
@@rahulchakraborty8916 that's what I am saying try building muscular body with normal Indian diet like dal rice roti chapati it will be very hard to build more muscles.. And bodybuilding is just label frankly anyone can call themselves as bodybuilder even a two year old playing cricket
Off topic: Your physique is getting closer and closer to these indian guys day by day. May be even slightly better because at least for my taste bulky natty looks better than shredded natty.
They were not using traditional Indian clubs but using Western European barbell. The 10th exercise bench press in a bridge position is an old traditional wrestling training exercise. I always like traditional equipments such as Chinese Stone Locks石鎖, Zhong Fan 中幡, Indian clubs, Russian kettlebell and Western European barbell and dumbbell.
im looking into bodybuilding at home with minimal equipment just for discipline reasons. ive been searching for a straight forward routine and this might be it!
1. Low intake of processed foods. 2. Proper sleep. No wage slaving only to barely recuperate. 3. High testosterone lifestyle. No video games and p#rn. Answered the original question in 20 seconds.
People use to work in field back then and used to eat fresh food, fruits also the animals weren’t given anything to boost their growth like nowadays fresh milk a good sleep and plenty of good food and ghee I know because my grandfather lived for 98 yrs sadly he passed away with natural death in sleep he used to do dand baithak ,pull ups squats and gadha rang also he used to eat steamed chicken and mutton at age of 96 he was still ripped and never had any white hairs he lived stress free life and I think that’s what made him badass. Now we live under stress 24hr we all would be happy even if we cross 60 dealing with mortgage, loans emi everyone happiness materialistic life we all have fallen into traps of lavish living I think the ans is living happily with minimal belonging for good life.
Exactly. Lao Tzu wrote about this: "If you understand yourself you are illuminated. If you overcome others you are powerful. If you overcome yourself you have strength. If you know how to be satisfied you are rich. If you can act with vigor, you have a will. If you don't lose your objectives you can be long-lasting. If you die without loss, you are eternal." Also: "Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you."

Hey Natty Life, Great video as always. Being an Indian myself, I am glad to have come across these men of physical excellence through your video. Thank you for this. Keep up the amazing work.👌🏻
Well said, especially your rant at the end! Today's society is full of people with excuses because they want instant results and instant answers to everything. Computers and the internet is the main culprit in this instant, but it is sad that people carry over this mentality to fitness and bodybuilding. Another point to note is that these guys (in the video) would have been top fitness athletes too. Not hulking monsters like today who are dying in their 40s and 50s and who struggle to walk up a single flight of stairs. These old school bodybuilders were the true epitome of health and longevity. The world needs to go full circle and come back to where these guys left off IMO.
Great job brother.. finally someone has brought it up.. great research and even greater explanation.. keep it up brother... You will blow up in no time in fitness industry ❤️❤️
I honestly believe that their secret back in the day was flexing hard while lifting the weights. If you do that, the weights above would be challenging. you can't get that same effect on the muscles lifting heavy.
I agree in order to build your body. You do not need a fancy gym. You can use your body weight, some yoga and simple instrument and lots of discipline.
Well, B.C.Ghosh was a legend. He was actually a yoga teacher more than a bodybuilder. He and his students performed various tricks to show their and his inhuman physical abilities like breaking bricks using palm, bending steel rods, etc...which are shown by martial artists nowadays. His daugter would hung her, balancing her whole body over an extremely sharp sword capable of chopping a huge pumking with a light slice. His son too was equal to him but unfortunately his son died of an accident. they came for a stage show, but somehow there was a fire breakout in the show. his son got trapped in the green room. Mr. Ghosh broke open the door to save his son, but it was too late. Edit; also to mention, his student Mr. Monotosh Roy was the first Indian to win the title of mr.universe.
They ate natural food, a diet which was based on balanced intake of carb, fat, protein, minerals, vitamins. Their daily routine, going early to bed, waking up early and training sessions structured through out the day. They could grow up an arm of 50+ cm upper arms.
Thanks @Natty Life for his research. I am from Kolkata, India. I am very much glad that you really tried to inform all of us about steroid free body building culture which existed many years back at Kolkata 🙏

I work with the Feldenkrais Method, which is big body mechanics balance stuff in proprioception, and I am REALLY impressed with a couple of the exercises you'd prefer to avoid, for how they're teaching you to work in heavy flexion or heavy extension while maintaining and refining (given the light weights) your balance. This is a REALLY GOOD repertoire. Thanks for bringing it out to our attention, definitely getting this book.
Too true with your ending comment. Most people just don't put in the work and choose to put everyone else down who does. I'm Natty as well. Mix of calisthenics and gym. Also a level 3 qualified PT. Truth is if you don't put in the work, focus on form and technique more than likely you're going to get poor results and spend too much time in recovery due to injury. Core engaged and neutral spine in every exercise and focus on the rep not the reps. Keep it clean.
I think you've missed out the most important takeaway from the manual. BC Ghosh was the younger brother of Paramhansa Yogananda. It was Yogananda who popularized the ancient techniques of Kriya Yoga. Therefore BC Ghosh was able to attain the peak form of his physique by following Yogananda s technique of "Energizing your body through the will power". This technique helped them to rightly focus on one body part at a time. Imagine the mind to muscle connection but now multiply it by thousand fold. This output helped them become who they were. Energizing thought will power from the heavenly cosmos
right glad somebody pointed this out. SRF teaches these energization exercises and they can be found online. Would NOT recommend learning kriya from internet tho lol

@@vanarqwq3660 are you dumb or what? the beef was illegal in most of north India for around 2000 years after vedic brahmins made the rule to go along with Buddhism. Dal has around 20 grams of protein and a good amount of micro and macro nutrition and cooked wheat has around 10 grams of protein per 100ggramsm. It's good to get education properly or wait you got dumb shit from WhatsApp uni.
I actually was lucky enough to train in one such gym before machines took over.. The weights used were not tht much but these exercises were not tht comfortable.. The 10th exercise has sort of evolved though when I was going to this gym.. U don't do it on a bench but on a stool and both ur head and traps and squeezed shoulder blades are on the stool while the whole body is in a bridge position.. U don't do it with barbells either but use dumbells.. And u can also do dumbell flys in this position.. As for the 11th exercise, the old school body weight squats from India involves raising the the heel while squatting.. They do thousands of it before moving to weights actually.. So ur ligaments are strengthened and ur knees don't get tht much affected or thts wht I was told.. Obviously u can't do the same with heavy weights but then usually not many plates were there in these gyms.. No fan, no ac.. Torn carpets.. Open doors and windows.. Narrow wooden planks with no cushion whatsoever for benches.. Stools.. Indian clubs.. It was crazy.. 😂
@Pete Testube to b frank i dont know the name of the exercises which I did.. We usually started with stretching and jumping jacks.. Then there's something called sapate.. Which is kindoff burpees but the form is different.. Then the pushups.. So if pump oriented workout tht day then usual pushups with skull crushers using a bench.. If planning on working out longer then hindu pushups.. Then chest bicep back shoulder on a day.. And leg and bicep tricep and old equipment(sumtal, indian mace, neck ring sort of a thing for squat) on the other day.. For chest as I said earlier chest press with dumbell but not on floor or a bench.. Just a stool or end of the bench.. So ur upper back and neck and head is on the stool while bridging.. I think the benefit was ur push from the floor is better than when u do in bench.. Then dumbell flies.. Then flat, incline, decline bench press.. Then u take a plate and press it with both ur palms and press it in either flat or decline bench.. For bicep the usual.. But for tricep we used to do sum sort of extension.. U pick the dumbell and flex the dumbell but the dumbell doesn't faces the front.. Rather it touches ur sternum.. I hope u get the position.. And a control elbow extension with ur thumb side facing towards ur body.. Sort of an internal rotation.. Then the usual dips and other tricep dumbell exercises.. For shoulders we start with pike pushups and then the dumbells.. The aim was if we had less weight then we used to fatigue the muscle group before working tht out.. And of course.. Finish it off with an almond shake.. Sumthing called ragada I remember..no use of explaining the traditional instruments because even for me it's hard to access them.. 😅
I’m SE Asian but I want this to be an inspiration to my South Asian/desi brothers out there. No your genetics are no holding you back in getting the body you want. If you are skinny fat you can achieve this. Put in the work don’t make excuses.
Using genetics as an excuse is just fcking stupid. Most people in India are skinny fat because of a carb heavy vegetarian diet. Add more protein and start lifting.
