Iranian 'Hulk'

Meet Sajad Gharibi - he is known as the Persian Hercules or Iranian Hulk and quite appropriately so.

His huge frame and bulging muscles have earned him the name of Hulk or Hercules.

The 24-year-old weightlifter weighs 155 kgs and can lift up to 175 kilogrammes - no joke.

His Instagram account doesn’t feature the type of food and workout posts most weightlifters and workout obsessives share, instead it displays an array of gob-smacking topless photos of himself and unpretentious pictures of him going about his day to day life.

He also likes to pose with tiny objects, to show how giant he truly is.

His Facebook page says he hails from Bushehr in Khuzestan province Iran.
