"If the body be feeble, the mind will not be strong" - Thomas Jefferson
100 years old and only 150 cm tall Indian body builder and former Mr. Universe, Manohar Aich is a great example of strong body and strong mind.
Born on March-20-1912, Aich was jailed during 1942 movement in India, but continued his body building in jail which impressed many jail officials who nicknamed him “Pocket Hercules”.
Aich became the face of Indian body building after India’s Independence from Britain. Aich won many prestigious International body building events including the 1952 Mr. Universe title held in London.
Age didn’t stop Aich, he still goes to gym regularly and continues his body building, and he never touches alcohol or tobacco, he is an idol for aspiring body builders.
