Bodybuilding has been one such sport loved by the teenagers and the youth. Mahdi Parsafar, one of the noteworthy names in Iran is setting a bar for the Iranian bodybuilding community. With almost 10 years in this field, the sports manager has helped several Iranian athletes in different ways, thanks to his wider knowledge about bodybuilding and sports.


Mahdi has closely worked with some of the best athletes and bodybuilders like Baitullah Abbasport and Hadi Choopan. With a wider vision to bring the best Iranian bodybuilders on the forefront, the sports manager has raised the name of Iranian bodybuilding all over the world. The country has got some of the best sports personalities who are now getting to showcase their talent on the world stage. Mahdi Parsafar crossed paths with Baitullah Abbasport aka Baito in 2008 when he became his sports manager.


After working with him for years, the powerful bodybuilder passed away in 2015 due to a life-threatening disease. "Baito-s loss was very personal to me. I worked with him for several years and his sudden demise left me shocked. But he always dreamt to take Iran on a new level of bodybuilding", said Mahdi. After his demise, he started working Hadi Choopan who is also his childhood buddy. The duo has worked endlessly towards uplifting Iran and Mahdi says that he is fortunate to know an athlete like Hadi who has changed the scenario of Iranian bodybuilding.
