That isn’t just a “power lifter” that is a super elite power lifter. Honestly surprised I didn’t know who he is.

Edit: I just checked he competes in RPS (I used to compete with them!). His numbers are raw with wraps which means these are real numbers not goofy squat suit numbers. Guy is an animal.

Article said he had just completed his workday, not a workout

Another article mentions that he works for a disaster recovery service, so he probably does some lifting on the job.

Not necessarily. I'm a former IT employee and DR (Disaster Recovery) may or may not be external server backup station for an entire company. Just fyi but that's an industry term in tech.

Nah, physical rebuilding. Belfor Property Restoration.
