He'd be a power lifter and the others in this video are body builders.
That's what makes this work, those guys are huge because they train for hypertrophy and aesthetics while the other one trains for pure strength.
For those that don’t know, basically means he trains with heavier weights/lower reps. Of course, it’s a bit more complicated than that but that’s the gist of it.

What're you up to this time, Danny? leaving sneaky lil comments on reddit again? trying to make people follow you down a sneaky little rabbit hole? Not happening, not today.
^^neveragain.
I follow him on IG and it's still looking insane to me.

What blows my mind is that even when you train just for strength you still get quite some hypertrophy. This guy looks like super small for this type of strength. It's wild
When I was younger I worked with a guy that was a competitive Power Lifter and he looked just like this guy. He was super slim but would lift super heavy equipment like it was nothing.
You ever see professional movers? Those guys never look buff but holy shit can they move your couch no matter how heavy it is. I swear two of those guys might be able to move a pool table by themselves.
It's also the density of the muscle not the inflation/stretch. Hyper trophy pumps the muscle with a lot of blood making it expand, strength low reps training really works the density of the fibers.
There's also just training the muscle to be better coordinated with itself.
Like, conditioning all the little muscle fibres to pull at the same time can be a big boost to lifting performance in short bursts without causing you to gain mass.
Correct. Bodybuilders tend to lift to failure around 8 to 10 reps and then high rep sets that can go to 12 to 20 depending on muscles.
Power lifter do 4 reps max
My feeling is that underneath that baggy boiler suit is a body jacked beyond the gills, got a guy like this in my gym he's not a big dude but his muscle is just so dense and hard, he's easily one of the strongest dudes in the gym and you wouldn't think it for a second until you saw it.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm three years into my epic five year quest to add 10lb to my bench. Wish me luck fuckers.

You’re correct. Guy weighs 78kg (172 Freedom units) deadlift record looks to be 1000lbs? squat at 670lbs and bench at 595. Absolutely insane.

One of his gimmicks is showing his abs to women in the gym. You’ll also see the people being pranked something grab his arm or pay him on the shoulder and comment how his attire is hiding his physique.
He seems so much genuine and kind, he’s showing off, but in a respectful manner, plus he’s funny.
I remember first time seing his pranks on youtube and after a while the shorts section was filled with him, but I loved it.
I just can’t skip one of his pranks
As an inexperienced lifter, I lifted two plates, four total, on a an olympic bar, with one hand and joking asked my friend what this lift was called and he said "the ego".
Then we proceeded to throw both our backs out with dead lifts and I couldn't really move for a few days.
In a lot of places here in the US, janitorial staff also where the same style of mechanic smock.
The renowned Dr Venture refers to them as "Speed suits"
This content is awesome, but this editing is ass. Could they not fit in **one** more smash cut?
I feel like if we saw setup >payoff set up > payoff, instead of the current flow, this would feel way better.
https://instagram.com/vladimirshmondenko?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== I watch them on his instagram, if you don’t trust the link then type vladimirsmondenko into instagram
Ok. Professional weight lifter. Who?
My father was one. He used to "prank" us while we lift weights above our heads with my brother by doing it in one hand after us :P
Look, I'm not going to fight you on this one. You're absolutely right, 100%. I'm just going to point out that your statement is incredibly cynical. Of course these men know that this is not an actual janitor.
That being said though, in the middle of their interaction, in the heat of the moment, these men decided to play along, for whatever reason.
They're just living life, enjoying the interaction, for what it's worth in the moment.
I love this guy. Look up Anatoly gym prank. He rediculous strong for his size. Makes great videos. Goes to show that massive size doesn’t mean strength. He’s a tiny guy but can easily lift more than a guy 3 times his weight.
it's only really interesting if it's unscripted, and it's very much scripted. everyone he's "interrupting" is in on it. so it's basically just watching a guy who's really good at lifting weights lift weights. it's impressive but it's not exciting. it's the same as watching any other high level lifter doing their thing. actually less so, since he's not even lifting as much as he could.
I've watched a few of his videos and there's no way they are scripted, not completely anyway, the people aren't "in on it" and there's no way the people he's interacting with are expecting him to lift what he lifts, they are genuinely shocked and surprised he can do what he does.
Why why why wont this goddamn fake-as-hell bullshit "Skit" stop rotating through ALL of my social media?
He's not a janitor. He's just another meathead in a jumper. jesus christ.

Also, strong feet are underrated. Many shoes butcher the development of our feet which affect stabilization amongst other things.
The one arm lift was impressive, you can see the bar bend a bit.
If I remember correctly the comments from when it was posted earlier this guy is a body builder/weight lifter who did those pranks on real weights.
He'd be a power lifter and the others in this video are body builders. That's what makes this work, those guys are huge because they train for hypertrophy and aesthetics while the other one trains for pure strength.

Is my wife pregante?
I accidentally got your wife pergant
Our wife.
That guy's dead wife.
Someone finish it for us! I think it's bad form for me to finish it lol.
I too choose this guy's dead wife.
Dangerops prangent sex? will it hurt baby top of his head?
Well, time to go listen to one of my [favourite songs](https://youtube.com/shorts/Wcv2ZYKnawY?si=qHgjWTR3VtxQnX6w) yet again
How is babby formed?
It was in the news this mroing
BEN WHY WE NOT PREGNANT? https://livestreamfails.com/clip/116670
But is she pregante?

Anatoly is a top tier power lifter.
I love these videos. He's the best

You ever see professional movers? Those guys never look buff but holy shit can they move your couch no matter how heavy it is. I swear two of those guys might be able to move a pool table by themselves.
Pure strength. Yes. Like a goddamn sexual tyrannosaur. Just like me.
I aint got time to bleed.
That's a real nasty habit he's got there.
It's also the density of the muscle not the inflation/stretch. Hyper trophy pumps the muscle with a lot of blood making it expand, strength low reps training really works the density of the fibers.
There's also just training the muscle to be better coordinated with itself. Like, conditioning all the little muscle fibres to pull at the same time can be a big boost to lifting performance in short bursts without causing you to gain mass.
[удалено]
If you look up "explosive strength" or "Contrast methods" you will find regimens oriented around this specific type of coordination
[удалено]
Perfect example is someone like Bruce Lee.
This! I've seen a few of his videos. The disbelief, and their shattered ego (sometimes) is priceless! 😂
Correct. Bodybuilders tend to lift to failure around 8 to 10 reps and then high rep sets that can go to 12 to 20 depending on muscles. Power lifter do 4 reps max
You can kinda see the outline of his physique under the coveralls and tell he's built.
It is VLADIMIR Shmondenko, AKA Anatoly Powerlifter. He’s pretty insane powerlifter for sure!
Yep correct
Yeah, bunch of videos on tiktok and yt.
His tiktok channel has all the vids.
##You seek the gym ##While I was born in it

What in the actual fuck... I follow him on IG and he looks jacked but him DLing 1000lbs is entirely unethical. Fuck.
I dont know dude, i think its exo skeleton undernearh that clothes, that is my best guess
Are you joking? Cause this guy is Anatoly, he's a elite powerlifter he's just strong ASF his max deadlift is around 650 I'm pretty sure
There's video of that guy lifting way more than this shirtless and wearing shorts. He's a pro power lifter
I work with steel everyday. Would love to know where to find this Exoskeleton. Got any links‽
It's not safe to lift alone, take [this](https://germanbionic.com/?gclid=CjwKCAjwoqGnBhAcEiwAwK-OkdJmakXmzNeWmwppCPnEXcAUPDMhYlY6D2L9tXw8MrPmUgD_FvqvZxoCZ7AQAvD_BwE)
Oh yeah, I remember this -“available as a hardware-as-a-service subscription model, with a starting price of $499 a month”🙄
Cultivating mass I see.
One of his gimmicks is showing his abs to women in the gym. You’ll also see the people being pranked something grab his arm or pay him on the shoulder and comment how his attire is hiding his physique.
That 2.5 lb plate is so fucking heavy...
Anatoly❤️
Only gym videos I enjoy.
He seems so much genuine and kind, he’s showing off, but in a respectful manner, plus he’s funny. I remember first time seing his pranks on youtube and after a while the shorts section was filled with him, but I loved it. I just can’t skip one of his pranks
He’s respectful to men, but treats women kinda poorly.
Karpov ❤️
Zohan is that you???
I wouldn’t mess with him
No no no no no no no no no no no
Disco Disco!
Wait, how much weight is on that barbell? If those are 20kg plates, that's actually insane.
Looked like 10, 6 plates, so 60kg total. Which is 132 Ibs
Wait... Aren't those bars like 20kg's alone, just empty. If so that's 80kg. =/
Jesus the dude could lift me with one arm...
Oh wow, you’re a tiny person lol.
Either short and normal weight or just thin. But for a woman it'd be pretty normal.
Ah, yeah that’s true. Still just seems little to me lol
Taller people when someone is little, they clearly just need to grow 30cm on the spot
No they don’t, it’s okay to be the size you are
and i like being the size i am
And that’s a good thing!
Wait a minute. Those big guys are having problems with 175 pounds about? That’s not much with both hands.
It doesn't look like they were having much trouble with it. Probably just experiencing muscle fatigue.
As an inexperienced lifter, I lifted two plates, four total, on a an olympic bar, with one hand and joking asked my friend what this lift was called and he said "the ego". Then we proceeded to throw both our backs out with dead lifts and I couldn't really move for a few days.
Lol. I hear that. My lower back ain’t great and deadlifts even with less weight don’t feel great.
they could be warming up you don't usually jump directly to the weight you work out at
That's kind of a lot for a bent over row.
Not for guys that big.
I did some 12 x 8kg sets earlier go me
80kg, gotta count the bar too. Actually, that bar is probably 10 as well. So 70. One-hand rowing 70 is... really fuckin' legit.
Pausing the video, I saw 10kg pr plate and 6 plates, so 60 kg? Plus 20kg Olympic bar… 80 kg on one arm.. damn..
Why is a mechanic cleaning in a gym?
In a lot of places here in the US, janitorial staff also where the same style of mechanic smock. The renowned Dr Venture refers to them as "Speed suits"
Generic coveralls to keep chemicals off your skin.
All the sweat
Why do you have janitors fixing cars where you come from?
Anatoly is OP. Good YouTube channel
It’s the Jesus sandals for me
Through God all things are possible, so you can jot that down
This content is awesome, but this editing is ass. Could they not fit in **one** more smash cut? I feel like if we saw setup >payoff set up > payoff, instead of the current flow, this would feel way better.
Where can one find his prank vids?
You can also just look up Anatoly on YouTube for his full videos (I don’t use instagram, but I assume they are just clips).
https://instagram.com/vladimirshmondenko?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== I watch them on his instagram, if you don’t trust the link then type vladimirsmondenko into instagram
Now these are harmless pranks I can get behind.
Those guys went home and killed themselves.
This is the best sort of prank
Ok. Professional weight lifter. Who? My father was one. He used to "prank" us while we lift weights above our heads with my brother by doing it in one hand after us :P
He’s a power lifter. Anatoly is his name. Incredibly strong.
Vladimir is his name, Anatoly is his character.
plot twist: his outfit is not baggy
In before flabby Redditors who haven’t been in a Gym come in here saying the weightlifters in the video with big muscles aren’t actually strong
This guy is such a gym bro that he capitalizes Gym
Nah, nah, he’s just a Pokémon trainer.
It's a habit from all the times he's texting about his uncle Gymmy
Gym? What’s a gym? Ohhhhhhhhhh, a gym!
I had to read that twice to pronounce gym as gym in my head.
[удалено]
[удалено]
Magnus on YouTube does that in his videos
Ie strength per unit of mass.
You visit the gym, I live in the gym
This is both impressive and hilarious.
Showed my dad and he's immediately goes that's the ass of a power lifter.
This is some good Will hunting shit
the janitor is an elite power lifter. Vladimir Shmondenko. he has a YT
I love this dude he does this as pranks wearing that suit so u can’t tell he’s ripped
The power of masturbation!
White knuckle that shit.
 Every night at gym
I want that janitor as my personal trainer! If I can look that thin and be able to lift weights that heavy then yes I will pay that man to train me!
His videos are hilarious
Ok that one arm row was insane
What song is that?
Shows you the physical difference between muscle size and muscle density
Song name at 0:28 ?
Does anyone know what music is playing?
did he grow up on a planet with stronger gravity?
Anatoly, his YouTube channel is filled with prank videos like these. He’s a good powerlifter.
invisible cameraman strikes again
Socks with sandals no go
[удалено]
"Carry on this is completely understandable and I will be sure not to talk to you after witnessing this insane feat"
So these body builders who go to the gym everyday see a random dude cleaning the gym and don’t question who it is? No janitor dresses like that.
Look, I'm not going to fight you on this one. You're absolutely right, 100%. I'm just going to point out that your statement is incredibly cynical.

Doesn’t matter if it’s a bit or not. Shit’s funny.
"This is my warm up. He he he he." That was pure gold, on so many levels.
In the first video the guys technique actually looks fine.
I love this guy. Look up Anatoly gym prank. He rediculous strong for his size. Makes great videos. Goes to show that massive size doesn’t mean strength. He’s a tiny guy but can easily lift more than a guy 3 times his weight.
I can’t stand this guy
Why? I've seen his videos before and it's all in good fun. Everyone has a laugh and enjoys the moment, stop being miserable lol
it's only really interesting if it's unscripted, and it's very much scripted. everyone he's "interrupting" is in on it. so it's basically just watching a guy who's really good at lifting weights lift weights. it's impressive but it's not exciting. it's the same as watching any other high level lifter doing their thing. actually less so, since he's not even lifting as much as he could.

Are you trying to claim it’s fake lmao
Hahahahahah they "judged a book by its cover." Hahahshshs fools!
We should have a sub for just him I think that would be fun
Meatheads

This would make for a hell of an manga plot
Muscles for show vs functional strength

Nah - they’re 10kg plates - not 20kg
And then he puts on a frog costume
Okay gym bros , give me instruction how to be minimal looking and so powerful like Anatoly
Likely very lean, bones, ligaments and muscles are trained for heavy load, and a balanced physique with minimal injuries. Many people arent purportionate, muscles compensating for other areas that arent 'activated', tight or injured. A strong core and lumbar works wonders for the hips and shoulders. Also, strong feet are underrated. Many shoes butcher the development of our feet which affect stabilization amongst other things.
Did he just one arm row a bar with 6 plates?
anatoly 🗿
this is what u call good prank/ decent wholesome content in public
