Bjorkqvist gets stronger, hip thrusts 572 pounds

Kasper Bjorkqvist is ridiculously fit. We know this already.

Still, it seems like every time his trainer Yunus Barisik posts an update from his summer workouts, Bjorkqvist has increased the amount of weight he's lifting by a significant amount.

In June, he was hip thrusting 440 pounds for 10 reps with a resistance band, and I thought that was crazy. Three weeks later, he was up to 528 pounds.

On Thursday, Barisik posted another update, showing that Bjorkqvist is now up to six reps of 572 pounds.
