Sharing the video, he wrote, “Every day is another opportunity to push beyond limits... Charged up and excited for another memorable journey with my dear @dirbobby for #Mega158. Opening Ceremony on May 21st.”

The video highlights his upper-body focused training, where he can be seen working with dumbbells and barbells to enhance muscle strength and definition in his arms, shoulders, and chest. He also incorporates resistance band exercises aimed at improving flexibility, stability, and overall strength, particularly as part of recovery and conditioning following a minor shoulder surgery.
