not only is he now indisputably the most popular and funniest person named Robert making short-form video content related (but not limited) to classical music, but if weโ€™re really in a fitness arms race (his words/pun) heโ€™s definitely winning ๐Ÿ’–

an excerpt from a post by a redacted Hevy user:
โ€œLeg day always feels like the most honest day. No hiding. No shortcuts. Squats don't care about your mood or excuses. You either show up and do the reps clean, or you don't. Today was 4 sets of barbell squats to set the tone - tight bracing, controlled reps, no sloppy work.
Then came the burn: leg extensions and lying leg curls. Two sets each, simple but brutal when you do them right. No momentum, no cheating โ€” just making the muscle work and staying in it when it gets uncomfortable.
Finished the real way: barbell Romanian deadlifts and calf extensions. RDLs are one of the best movements there is for building a strong posterior chain, and I'm training for strength that holds up - not just a look. Calves too... always underrated, but they matter for durability, stability, and running.
Nothing flashy about today. Just hard, honest work. I'm not chasing perfection - I'm chasing consistency. Showing up, training smart, building strength that actually means something.โ€

a conversation between Robert and a redacted Hevy user
Robert: โ€œjust idle curiosity: which LLM do you use when writing your captions?
[redacted]: โ€œyes, they are super helpful at converting stream of consciousness speech to text to a well structured post. This one used ChatGPT, but I also use Cluade, [sic] Gemini, Copilot and others. Which ones do you use for yours?
Robert: โ€œoh, I just write the ol'-fashioned wayโ€

i know itโ€™s often done in jest, but iโ€™ll go one further and say that one cannot self-identify as a himbo. that level of self-awareness is definitionally antithetical to the true spirit of the himbo and a diminishment of the same.
