A man the size of a train: The "Iranian Hulk" shares details of his life and is going to MMA
All over the world, athlete Sajjad Gharibi is known as the "Iranian Hulk". He became famous for his amazing physique. At the same time, the athlete claims that he owes his physique exclusively to training and genetics — and not to doping, photo editors or other machinations.
How the Iranian Hulk lives, why he is considered very kind and why he plans to meet with the "Scariest man on the planet" — read in our material.
The athlete has muscles of incredible volume and no less impressive strength. With a height of 188 cm, the weight of a man is 180 kg, most of which is muscle mass.
More than 400 thousand users from around the world have subscribed to Sajjad's Instagram, which everyone compares to the superhero Hulk. The huge "Persian Hercules" impresses with its outstanding physical data.
It should be noted that, judging by the pictures of Garibi, his life is not particularly diverse. Sajjad trains a lot and also eats a lot, and prefers fruits, fish, chicken and milk.
As a child, he was quite an ordinary child, but thanks to hard training and good genetics, he turned into a real hero and today can lift 180 kg.
There are a lot of photos and videos from training and competitions on the athlete's Instagram, because the guy calls powerlifting his life's work.
There are also a lot of photos and videos dedicated to cooking and eating various healthy foods.
The Iranian Hulk needs regular special nutrition in accordance with the schedule to maintain his incredible shape.
Despite the fact that Sajjad gives all his time to sports, he still did not avoid serving in the army and in 2016 went to one of the Iranian infantry units to pay his debt to the motherland.
The giant even fought ISIS in Syria, so you can't accuse him of cowardice.
The pictures taken by the big guy during combat duty and shooting are particularly interesting to consider — any, even the most formidable weapon, looks like a child's toy in his hands.
The Iranian Hulk also finds time for his family — in his account you can see pictures of him posing with his young son.
Sajjad loves children very much and goes to children's hospitals in his spare time to support their patients and charge them with positive emotions.
The popularity of the athlete in Iran is incredibly high and Garibi is known even by those who are very far from sports. Sajjad does not suffer from "star disease" and willingly communicates with fans both on social networks and in everyday life.
He believes that his popularity has a big plus, since a positive example can make people reconsider their attitude to their life and to their body.
It is reported that soon the Iranian weightlifter plans to hold his fight according to the rules of MMA.
The 26-year-old athlete's opponent will be 36-year-old British bodybuilder and actor Martin Ford, who is called "the scariest man on Earth." He is two meters tall and weighs about 150 kilograms.
