Hadi Choopan's Life
Hadi Choopan was born in September 1987 in the southern Iranian province of Fars, in Sepidan County. He was a product of his region's faltering economy and was born into a very low-income household. Hadi was forced to start working at a young age as a result of these unfavorable circumstances. Along with doing building work, he began selling items.
Choopan was forced to work constantly, yet he still found time to become interested in bodybuilding. At the age of 13, he started on the road to becoming a professional bodybuilder in 2000.
Choopan started off by imitating other well-known bodybuilders' stances in front of his family. He first faced taunts and resistance from his friends and family because of his little stature. However, he broke all barriers with his determination to reach where he is today.
