There’s more pics of him on his instagram if you type his name in, I don’t think he’s as big as Arnold but he’s close

I’m good friends with a guy who looks comparable to that with barely any training. It’s by no means common but some people are blessed like that.

What’s his ethnic background? Not that I can change my genetics, but just curious.

Arab actually.
The first time my other friends and I managed to persuade him to join us at the gym was on squat day and he squatted 150kg (330lbs) for 25 reps (he is the perfect build for squatting). On another sessions he benched 120kg (275lb) for 1 rep.
I think he has been to the gym a total of around 20-30 times. Its quite funny actually, he used to be really against protein shakes - said they were unnatural.
He is a huge outlier on the bell-curve of genetic potential, I think people like him are incredibly rare. But he is a reason I’m not quick to cry steroids.

Well, either way, I think the point some are making is that yes, people like that exist and don’t seem to be that uncommon in more urban areas. I am by no means the biggest person in my gym.
Ok. That’s it. It’s time to get serious about training. I’m packing my bags and headed to the urban of urban areas, so I can get SWOLE BABY!

The guy in the video (Hannibal) is currently about 35 years old and has 17 years of consistent calisthenics training as his background. And by calisthenics I don’t mean just push-ups, sit-ups and pull-ups. He’s built the strength to do planche push-ups, strict muscle-ups, and strict front pulls along with other gravity-challenging moves. Many will never come close to these accomplishments as it, in addition to optimum genetics, requires a consistent adherence.
I know someone who has met him in person as well as regularly travels to the NYC area to workout with alot of these “bar athlete” guys. He said Hannibal was around 5’6"-5’7" in height and in the 160lbs range.

? You know there are tons of dudes on basketball courts across the country NOT in the NBA?
Just as an example, seeing guys this size and bigger on basketball courts in Houston is not rare.
Maybe some of you should get out more.
Granted this guy also lifts, I guarantee I see guys as muscular as the guy in the other vid at the 24 Hour Fitness I go to everyday on basketball court. They may lift briefly afterwards.
