Kyriakos Kapakoulak, or simply Kyriakos Grizzly is a Greek powerlifter that has become the internet’s gym bro sensation for the last couple of years.

Due to his unconventional exercises, his FULL physique, his screams, his flexibility, and his amazing strength, his social media presence is growing fast day by day.

At a first glance, people tend to put negative comments on YouTube about his exercises, and his form. However, the Bloat Lord remains unaffected by those plebs’ opinions and does what he does best: Lift and post memes of him on social media.

Here are 5 of the most important life lessons that you too can learn from the Greek Grizzly, that are not just for your gym routine, but your career, your friendships and your life in general.

You Have To Live It

This is Grizzly’s most popular quote, and for good reason.

Whatever good happens to you, you have to live it. Whatever bad happens to you, you have to live it. Whatever life gives you, you have to live it.
