There’s not too much that needs to be added. This is Albie Mushaney and he calls himself Big Bad Santa. According to his Facebook page, he’s “on a mission to become the world’s strongest Santa.” Sure. That’s an admirable goal. Let’s cheer him along on this quest.
BBS did an interview with Spot Me Bro, the website named for the thing you never want to hear at the gym. BBS is a 43-year-old correctional worker, father of five, and has type-2 diabetes. He used to lift weights back in his younger days but since then has transformed himself into a very strong person who looks like Santa Claus, so here we are.
His Instagram page has a bunch of videos of him lifting weights and here are some that feature him either wearing red or a Santa suit, because he is committed to the bit.
Why isn’t this happening at my gym?
This is BBS wearing red while lifting a red log while getting amped by some Nirvana. I like this gym.
Here is BBS in a Santa suit deadlifting a red truck full of beer kegs, just like from that song.
Here’s the BBS origin story photo, back when he lifted nipples out like the other weightlifters do.
This has nothing to do with Santa, but this appears to be one BBS’ children lifting a wooden block. It’s adorable and people love adorable babies.
Just remember: He’s making a list, checking it twice, gonna find out if you lift that 500-pound weightlifting device, Big Bad Santa’s coming to town.
