One of the coolest things about being a strength athlete is meeting people you have looked up to and watched on social media for a long time then sharing a platform with them. I had the honor of competing with @thewolvesofwinter in December over at @homebarbellatx at Merry Gainsmas at it was a blast. He is one of the best pound for pound strength athletes in the nation and I can wait to compete with him again in the future. I’m gonna try and join him soon for some heavy squats soon when I get closer to peaking. Community is one of the best things about strength sports. It’s a niche sport that is only as good as the athletes that represent it and I am proud to know people like Carlos.

Everyday I get a little better inside and outside the gym. Some days are easier than others but I always strive to become a better version of myself. I am thankful for the discipline strength has brought to my life. I am grateful for the structure it has brought to my life. I am thankful for the way achieving goals and then stewing new ones has made my life better

On my recent squat video 😂 People love to drop this like it’s relevant. I get several comments a week like “enter Anatoly” People should actually do some research before they drop this line 😂

And if you want to go the relative strength route because “hE oNLy wEiGhs 172” I’ve hit a 3x bodyweight squat several times both in competition with judges and in the gym. That being said he has almost deadlifted 4x his bodyweight which is HUGE and I have celebrated him for that

His best deadlift is 640
His best bench is 340
His best squat is 470

I was working on some thumbnail ideas and I gotta say, me as a Final Fantasy villain goes kinda hard. It’s got 40k vibes too.

I mainly use AI to help research video topics and help with thumbnail ideas. I think AI is just a tool that can be used for either positive or negative purposes. It can help your creative workflow or it can completely replace it and take you out of the creative process depending on how you use it.

Scary but mostly harmless

This little guy is horrifying. I found south western trapdoor spider wandering around the yard today. It’s like a little tarantula

Comments like this mean the world to me. This is why I am so open about my down falls. It helps people feel seen and lets them know they are not alone.
