Three words that I can describe this guy whose come right
out of the bushes and began a journey of strength & health unlike anyone I’ve
seen before. I’m talking about my man Matti Merzel. He’s one very unique
individual that you only see once in a generation. A man who’s come so far in a
short period of time that one can only wonder how far he’s going to push the
limit. This is the same guy who was in the army in Israel and became a mean, fighting
machine.
There’s a lot of great qualities about him but one thing
that gives him away more then anything in a good way is his intensity for
becoming strong and powerful at a small size. One would not think of him as
being strong but that’s where ignorance is bliss. I’ve seen and talked to some
of the strongest people on this planet but Matt has that aura of him that takes
on a whole new meaning to the words “holy f*cking s*it.”
He’s a warrior by nature not only being in the military but
in his specific feats of strength he performs. I’ve seen him break wrenches,
rip phonebooks, held handstands and whatever the hell else he does and in every
feat, there’s a fire in his veins that just never seems to wear out unless he
wants it to. It’s hard to believe that strongmen have that much intensity and
love for what they do but within Matti it’s a little different like with every
living breathing strongman. The power he posses should not be human and most
likely isn’t but nonetheless, like they say “with great power comes great
responsibility.”
There’s John Cena in the WWE who’s the face of the company
and is a living, breathing athlete. The reason why I chose Cena to compare to
Matti, not because of athletic ability, not for being a wild character but
because like Cena, Matti has a passion for what he loves the most and he lives,
breathes, eats, talks, thinks it every single day of his life and he believes
nothing will get in his way of succeeding. It’s that passion that you only see
once in a lifetime, it’s that passion that you can’t fathom unless you
experience it but it’s also that passion that puts you ahead of many others and
your only way is not to climb down but climb up and in the words of Rocky
Balboa “Its not how hard you hit, its how hard you get hit and still willing to
keep fighting.” You can’t teach that in a school or a gym or in an office, you
learn it by fighting through it with heart and will power more then any average
person. It’s that fine line between ordinary and extraordinary.
