Never heard of him before but am now a fan of his philosophy!

He does a lot of unconventional lifts, it’s good.
However it’s a little suspect I’ve never seen him perform a squat past parallel.

On the point of growing up privileged.
There is a saying from a Macedonian revolutionist Jane Sandanski:
“Life is a fight,
Slaves for freedom,
The free for perfection.”
