The village of Asola-Fatehpur Beri is the strongest in India. For
generations, men have held two-hour workouts every morning and evening
in this countryside community on the southern rim of Delhi.
From
pre-teens to men nearing 50, bodybuilders sweat it out at one of the
most popular training spots,
Akhada, which is a Hindi word that means
wrestling arena.
This is where brawny
men wrestle in mud, climb ropes and perform a few hundred sit-ups and
push-ups, balancing their hands on bricks.
They
carry each other on their shoulders as its all part of the traditional
Indian way of working out. One lifts a 350 kilogram (771 pound)
motorcycle up to his chest.
The group of about 40 males exercises outside, each wearing a simple loincloth.
"They eat healthy and on time, they practice here everyday, and that's why they are so strong," says Vijay Tanwar, the head-trainer at Akhada.
The musclemen of Asola-Fatehpur Beri are capitalizing on their brawn by working as bouncers in New Delhi's clubs and bars.
As
more nightspots open in India's capital, there's a greater need for men
to guard the doors, and the musclemen from this rural village are
filling most of that demand.
