Called the “340lbs beast” and also referred to as The Mutant, he was 6 feet 1 inch tall with 61-inch-long biceps that protruded.
His astounding accomplishments included 700-pound deadlifts, a 600-pound bench press, and 600-pound squats. Despite not engaging in professional competition, he rose to fame on social media, gaining the respect of over 300,000 Instagram followers who appreciated his ability to challenge the limits of human strength.
When he was a student in Belarus, he weighed only 70 kg (154 lbs) and was said to be incapable of performing even one push-up.
He once said, “My transformation is a result of years of hard training and discipline, paired with an understanding of exercise physiology and nutrition,”.
“My mission is to instil a work ethic in people so they can overcome and surmount their fears while acting confidently towards the betterment of themselves and those around them.”
Sadly, on September 6, he had a heart attack at home.
Anna, his wife, frantically started chest compressions while they waited for the paramedics.
After being evacuated to the hospital, he struggled to recover,” his grieving wife Anna shared with Belarusian news outlet Onliner.
“I spent every day by his side, hoping, and his heart started beating again for two days, but the doctor gave me the terrible news that his brain had died.”
She expressed her gratitude for people’s support: “I thank everyone for their condolences. It’s very heartwarming to realise that I am not left alone in this world, and so many people have offered me help and support.”
The terrible news was broken by the well-known Russian newspaper Kommersant, which stated: “The athlete suffered a heart attack and fell into a coma on September 6.”
Official word of his passing came on September 11.
Encouraged by a tutor, he was inspired by Sylvester Stallone’s and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s strong physique.
Before his tragic passing, he had hoped to gain an impressive 380 pounds of muscle mass.
He was born in Belarus and subsequently resided in the Czech Republic, the United States, and Dubai.
Unfortunately, he now adds his name to the roster of young bodybuilders whose lives have also ended prematurely, raising more concerns about the health risks associated with the competitive bodybuilding industry.
Among them are the young 26-year-old physique builder Antonion Souza from Brazil and the 34-year-old Neil Currey from the UK.
