While the bodybuilding circuit was almost certain about Big Ramy lifting the Sandow trophy, Hadi ‘The Persian Wolf’ Choopan turned the narratives 360 degrees. Beating the 2x champion by a huge margin, the underdog became the first-ever bodybuilder from Iran to claim the first position. Though he made the win look easy, it involved years of practice and dedication. Showing his indomitable spirit yet again, Choopan earlier today posted a video on Instagram that showed him lifting mammoth weights despite being in “severe pain.”

So what exactly Choopan’s latest post is all about? Let’s dig deep into it.

Hadi Choopan sets another example of his determination 

Sharing a short clip of himself, Choopan was spotted doing “100 repetitions with a weight of 400kg trap.” But that was not all. What made his post even more enduring was the fact that he was still working out while he was recovering after his dental surgery. Refuting his pain, Choopan decided to prioritize his workout.

Sharing the updates with fans, he wrote, “Half of my teeth have undergone surgery, and there is severe pain in my jaw and face, but my friends are interested and want to progress and grow.” Thus, refusing to back down, the bodybuilding champion, on the advice of his friend, is giving his best to stay pumped.

Giving his best to make sure he retains the Sandow trophy. He keeps sharing his workout videos with his Instagram family.
