The Great Gama, a legendary wrestler, remained undefeated for over 50 years by performing 5,000 squats every day.

Ghulam Mohammad Baksh was born in 1878 in Amritsar and began his wrestling career at the age of 10. He gained international fame during a 1910 tour of London organized by R.B. Benjamin. During this tour, he faced the world champion Stanislaus Zbyszko on September 10, 1910. The match lasted nearly three hours and ended in a draw because Zbyszko spent the entire time in a defensive position to avoid being pinned.Gama's training was rooted in traditional Indian wrestling known as Pehlwani. His daily regimen was documented to include 5,000 'baithaks' (squats) and 3,000 'dands' (pushups). This high-volume calisthenics routine built incredible functional strength and cardiovascular endurance. He also consumed a massive diet of 10 liters of milk and 6 pounds of butter daily to fuel his 5-foot-7-inch, 250-pound frame.His legacy is cemented by the fact that he never lost a professional bout in over 5,000 matches. Bruce Lee became a student of Gama's methods after reading about his training in the 1960s. Lee incorporated the 'baithak' into his own workouts to develop the explosive leg power necessary for martial arts. Gama's unbeaten streak is considered one of the longest in the history of professional sports.
