India’s first ever professional bodybuilding contest, the IFBB Sheru Classic, kicked off on Thursday in Mumbai. The three-day event began with a press conference, where the global media got to know some of the best bodybuilders and figure competitors in the world.
Following the press conference, a group of athlete’s headed out to the local Gold’s Gym in Mumbai for a workout and some fun. The crew included Mr. Olympia Phil Heath, Kai Greene, Toney Freeman, Ms. Figure Olympia Nicole Wilkins, Ms. Bikini Olympia Nicole Nagrani, Hany Rambod, Kim Oddo, and team from FLEX Magazine.
