i don’t know why because I don’t really have any factual basis for this opinion but just my hunch that this guy has to be one of the strongest dudes in the game right now. Not saying that he is necessarily one of the best oly lifters, but he just seems savagely strong to me. He’s just this short, stocky, ball of muscle and every time I see him lift I’m thinking “man, I don’t want to be between this guy and a barbell”…
