Orhii’s Diet and Training to Move Up a Weight Class Revealed
In mid-February 2025, elite powerlifter Russel Orhii vlogged his meals and training in bulk mode following his IPF world record squat at the 2025 Sheffield Powerlifting Championships. Orhii is considering competing in the 93KG weight class, aiming to weigh a lean 195 pounds. Weighing 193 pounds, he has already seen progress in increasing his calories – he boasts a 694-pound deadlift and 685-pound squat post-show.
Cheat Meal & Bulking Strategy
After lifting, Orhii laid out his Chick-fil-A post-workout meal: 12 chicken nuggets, a chicken sandwich, large fries, and a Powerade. He prefers cheat meals on weekends, still hitting his macros, and dieting more strictly on weekdays.
Grocery Haul
When bulking, Orhii stocks his kitchen with lean ground beef, egg whites, and shrimp cocktails. Stir-frying beef noodles is a hack to boost his calories, and "the macros are insane," he confirmed.
Orhii’s Motivation
Addressing how Orhii remains motivated, he shared his belief that, "If you have to ask how to stay motivated, you don’t like what you’re doing enough." He cemented, "Re-evaluate your why. I don’t need to motivate myself. I love the gym, I cater my life to it."
