Gourav, who needed Behl’s assistance to look leaner, began to look bigger instead, after Behl put him on a 3,000-calorie diet. “I remember getting annoyed. Robin kept telling me, ‘Trust the process’. I told him, bro, I’ll trust the process, but I don’t have the time.” 

Under the guidance of Behl and nutritionist Mishti Khatri, Gourav was able to subsequently build strength. Each time he had command over the workout, they’d cut down his caloric intake so as to facilitate reduction in fat mass. From 3,000 calories, they gradually brought him down to 1,700. “That brought about significant change in his body.”

“My firsts are always special, whether that was my first three muscle-ups or the shoulder stand. Another memorable feat was achieving 25 muscle-ups, in a day,” says the actor. Behl, who used a mix of strength training, callisthenics, and hypertrophy work, would amp up his routine every two weeks to keep him challenged. 

“Before this journey began, I didn’t know that it was so hard to get a good body. The process needs more mental discipline than physical, and you need to be stubborn about your goal. I’ve never been at ease with achieving 80 per cent of my goal; I always aspire to achieve 100 per cent. I am glad to have found people who are equally stubborn about meeting targets,” Gourav signs off.
