Everywhere I go, I hear it—
The echoes.
The roars.
The digital thunder of comments, reposts, fist emojis, and fire reactions.
People say:
“Eric! You’re built different!”
“You’re not real!”
“You’re the new standard!”
But let me tell you what’s really going on.
They’re not cheering the weight.
They’re not even cheering the lift.
They’re cheering the refusal to quit.
They saw me struggle.
They saw the early days—the missed reps, the empty gym, the silence.
They saw the blood on the barbell, the calloused hands, the 5AM war cries.
They saw a man bet on himself, when nobody else would.
And when you do that—
When you keep showing up, louder, sharper, stronger…
The world has no choice but to notice.
No choice but to rise up and yell:
“YES. KEEP GOING.”
They’re cheering because I did what most won’t.
I broke past doubt.
I broke past fatigue.
I broke past every voice that whispered, “You can’t.”
And I answered,
“Watch me.”
Now the crowd is on fire.
Because they’re not just watching me—they’re feeling something awaken in themselves.
I’ve become the permission slip.
The living signal.
That your body, your mind, your mission—it can all be rewritten.
So why is everyone cheering me on?
Because when I rise,
They rise with me.
Because I don’t just lift iron—
I lift belief.
Let’s go.
