The biggest guy in the gym did THIS 💀🤯 #calisthenics #motivation #gym #gymmotivation

Alex, the UK calisthenics athlete behind Alexandrosthenics, put up just one short over the past seven days, and it hands the spotlight to someone else. "The biggest guy in the gym did THIS" follows a very large, very muscular gym-goer trying the kind of balance work Alex's channel is built on.

The comments are mostly about the man himself. Viewers keep remarking on his size and his physique, several cast him as a future screen Hulk, and one of the most liked replies calls it the first bodybuilder ever to try a handstand. Others notice the effort on his face, and one viewer credits Alex as the spotter who made it possible.

The short is a modest starter by this channel's standards, and the real traffic is coming from older uploads. "IMPOSSIBLE calisthenics challenge", now eight weeks old and past three million views, is still drawing more each day than anything else on the channel, with a gym prank from July and a teen-versus-adult challenge behind it. Together they have the channel running well above its usual daily pace, and it is adding about ten thousand subscribers a day toward its 1.07 million.

Among fitness channels of a similar size, that pace is the standout: Colin Weng and Chari Hawkins are busy too, but neither is drawing as many daily views as Alex is right now.
