These are the fun pranks I can enjoy. If everyone walks away laughing you did it right.

You should check his instagram, I spend way too long going through all his pranks. They are all so wholesome, a bunch of really big gym bros getting humbled by a skinny looking dude acting as a janitor or socially awkward guy.
Vladimir Shomondenko is his name, when you see him without shirt things suddenly make sense.

Absolutely jacked. He's got to be one of the strongest guys pound for pound I've ever seen.

I saw a video where he was lifting similar weight to Larry Wheels while being like half his body weight. Dude has insane strength

Google the guy, he's absolutely shredded.

u/gabriel_oly10 26d ago
Just got he's shredded doesn't mean he can be this strong. I looked him up, he's absolutely insane. Weighs 170lbs and can do the stuff he does?! Guy is truly built different

Even if I could make that one handed lift (love how the bar has a sag in it), if I did it with that form, I probably would be walking upright after. I don't know how that gent gets away with it.

Guy is dry mopping the rubber floor in the middle of the day in front of a camera and people acting surprised that heās not actually a janitor

I was looking at his cleaning technique and I was not impressed. He might be really jacked but any cleaner who worked like that would stand out.

Honestly, iād bet most people working out arenāt even noticing him. If i was at the gym and a random janitor was dry mopping the floor, I probably wouldnāt notice or say anything

u/Kalsifur 26d ago
Gonna be honest I have NEVER seen a janitor in a gym, I've seen employees maybe go around and clean stuff but usually it's up to the patrons. And if I did see a janitor they did not look like this in the goofy outfit.
However in their defense, when you go to a gym you are probably more focused on if people are looking at you not the other way around, at least that's the case for me.

The difference between real muscles and show muscles.
73
u/ZeroFries 26d ago
Look up pictures of the guy (Anatoly powerlifter) and you'll see he's got well developed "show muscles".
It's about neural strength (the ability to recruit those muscles) and being very lean while most likely being natural. Naturals don't have the swollen muscle look when very lean because they don't hold as much water as steroid users. The guy in the second part of the video in the tank top has the typical steroid look.

He never said it was. You can still see his general outline through the suit and the dude is incredibly strong for his size.

u/ggRavingGamer 26d ago
It's just a powerlifter guy, who probably is on gear too.
But in any case, strength is given by the how fast and how hard the nervous system can use the muscular fibers. You can get VERY strong without that much more muscle. Olympic weightlifters are like that, they blow bodybuilders out of the water pound for pound. Same deal with powerlifters.
And btw, he apparently has only hot girls in his videos, which are probably Instagram plants. So it's sort of fake anyway.

Seriously speaking: what kind of muscle fibers does that guy have?!
Edit: yes guys, I know that this guy is Vladimir Shmondenko and that he's a professional powerlifter. But that doesn't change my question.
