His best prank character is the gym cleaner who wears a blue dungaree and disguises himself wearing glasses and a cap. One gym bro was deadlifting peacefully when the bodybuilder arrived, kept his cleaning broom on the side, and asked if he could try. He yet again shocked two gym bros with his jovial yet strong demeanor.

Of course, the gym goer said no since it could be harmful physically for the disguised Shmondenko. But, they did not know the shock they were going to receive in a few minutes. After putting powder on his hands like “Rambo” he swiftly deadlifted and did reps. The bros were stunned!
