I first saw this guy on a TikTok on Reddit. Super funny. I wanted to see if he was pranking the audience so I looked him up. The powerlifter community on Reddit were giving him props for being able to lift that amount of weight for his size.
I also saw this video of him going head to head against Larry Wheels. The heaviest weight I saw him deadlift was 532 lbs. Larry Wheels was also in a couple prank videos with him.
This is my favorite. Anatoly pretends to be a cleaner in the gym. He picks up the weight the people were struggling with with one hand and cleans with the other hand. After he walks away, the people try to lift it with one hand and can’t understand how he did it.
His channel is blowing up. When I first saw it, the channel had like 300k subs. Now it has close to 850k subs. Each video is getting millions of views.
He promised to shave his beard at 500k subs but fans are trying to talk him out of it. I think the gag is better with a beard.
