He also takes protein supplements to meet his daily protein requirements³. He recently added salmon fish to his diet as a preferred source of protein³.
• Training: Chopra trains under coach Dr Klaus Bartonietz, who helps him improve his technique and performance. He trains for six days a week, with one day of rest. He does two sessions a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. He alternates between throwing sessions and gym sessions. He also does warm-up drills, stretching exercises, and cool-down routines before and after each session¹². He trains smartly by listening to his body and avoiding overtraining or injury¹.
• Self-belief: Chopra has a strong self-belief that helps him overcome challenges and achieve his goals.
