Bodybuilder did the incredible in swag, leaving the witnesses in awe

On 19th March, he shared a video on his Instagram with the caption, “It’s for back?” The snippet featured one bodybuilder deadlifting with a barbell while another was busy motivating the former. Then appeared Shmondenko or ‘Mr. Anatoly’ who pretended to clean the floor with his mop. The act entailed him asking for permission from the bodybuilders, “Can I clean little bit here?”

Just when the bodybuilders were exchanging eye contact, he just lifted the weight, that the bodybuilder was facing difficulty lifting, with his one hand. This raised eyebrows. Meanwhile, Mr. Anatoly showed that he was unaware of what purpose the deadlifts served. Once he learned it was a back exercise, he started doing barbell rowing with that one hand.

This made the two go bonkers, and before they can ask him anything, Shmondenko took his leave while telling them his name.

One of them even tried to lift the barbell using one hand, but unfortunately, failed.
