@REALMizkif 2/2 My goal is to get to 250 and im trying to mentally push myself like @wakewilder was saying. To just do 1 extra push up a day, an extra block or 2 on my walks. I don't go to the gym but im trying to do anything I can to get there with at home workouts/alot of walking and diet.

Some memorable moments from Camp Knut

The streamer subreddit r/LivestreamFail saw a plethora of clips posted from Matthew's channel on July 26, with one clip in particular attracting thousands of upvotes and hundreds of fan comments as the streamer attempted to curl a 225-pound barbell.

Another moment that went viral on the subreddit was when Twitch content creator Tectone's back was loudly slapped by professional bodybuilder and lifter Leroy Baker.

For some context, Leroy Baker is a well-known American powerlifter who set a world record in strict curls with a 250-pound lift in August 2021.

Finally, Knut and Matthew faced off against Leroy Baker in a palm-gripping tussle, and as expected, the latter ended up destroying both the content creators, with Knut praising Leroy Baker's raw strength.

Overall, the streaming community received the special event well, and several viewers are looking forward to tuning into Knut's next workout camp that is scheduled to be hosted in Los Angeles.
