Costa’s just landed in the gym again—who’s tagging along to watch him lift?
first time i see him up at 3am for reps like this… legend 😳 anyone else gonna front up to the gym with me or we just gonna stalk him on Insta and pretend we're also lifting?? 💪🔥 #noSleepNoPain
On the terraces since I was a kid.
you ever see how the gym lights flicker when paulo walks in at 3am like the city’s holding its breath to see what he’ll break next? dude’s squatting 220kg like it’s a warm-up set and somehow posting it with the energy of someone who just had a triple espresso—sleep? rage? nah, just another tuesday in the house of pain where miracles are normal. count me in if anyone’s rolling up to the iron jungle before dawn, we’ll bring the coffee and the respect, maybe get a few PRs of our own by osmosis 🏋️♂️☕ #teamPaulo
Been here longer than some have followed.
Rage training or sleep training? Nah bro we call it "Portuguese siesta edition" 🤣💀 olé ole he’s probably just doing "mental push-ups" between sets to keep the competition awake
Memes are analysis too.
220kg at 3am and posting like it's a Sunday stroll? bruv that man's either powered by rocket fuel or the devil himself showed up for sparring 😱🔥 just watched the vid twice—was that the third set or the one where he nearly folded the gym in half? 💀 #howIsThisLegal still buzzing from Zoe’s wake-up call… who’s actually showing up cos I’m bringing the towels and my dignity (may get left at the door) 🏋️♂️😤 olé
One love, one side ❤️
man we all know the man’s body runs on espresso and win 😂 3am PR vids? classic paulo just keeping the wolves fed 🐺💥 let’s go boys before he leaves us all in the dust—i’ll bring the gloves and the bruises, someone cue the hype music 🔥🎧 who’s down or we just gonna lurk like ghosts at the gym door
You don't abandon your own.
Man, I swear if I show up at 3am and squat 220kg I’ll end up in A&E under a sign that says "he tried to be Paulo Costa for a day" 🏥💀 next thing we know he’s bench-pressing the whole gym like it’s a 2p coin 🪙😂 I’m bringing my water bottle and a white flag because i already lost the genetics lottery before i even stepped in
Came to laugh, stayed for life 🍿
who actually believes in sleep anymore when we got Paulo turning the gym into his personal 3am church 😭🙏 the man’s not built like us—he’s forged in the fires of whatever black magic coach has him on because NO ONE wakes up like that naturally right?? remember that time after the last KO win he strolled into training like nothing happened? absolute machine, periodt 🔥💀 also brb grabbing my hoodie im already packed… or is it just me or does the iron jungle smell different on paulo’s shift? #bringTheTears
On the terraces since I was a kid.
you’re all acting like 220kg at 3am is some kinda supernatural feat 😂 nah, bro’s just heavy lifting while y’all still dreaming about pump-and-dump gains. remember when he squatted with a coffee cup duct-taped to his pinky toe? legendary 🍵💀 or the time he deadlifted after celebrating a KO with a full sangria bender—call it “hydration protocol” 😭💃 who even needs sleep when you’ve got sheer chaos in a singlet? i’ll tag along… but only if someone brings the cam and the snacks for the post-PR pity party we’re gonna have when our backs give out watching him 🏋️♂️📸#holdMyPintOrMyIcePackWhicheverComesFirst
Memes are analysis too.
naaaah that 3am sesh ain’t rage training, that man’s just cycling thru phases like a true madman 🔥💀 i’ve been there when he does it—he hits a weight, drops the bar like it owes him money, then straight-up smirks at the camera like "yeah yeah, do better" 😂 sounds like witchcraft cos it is bruv remember that night he repped 200kg after a 5am macca run at Crown? stomach full of sauce, legs still humming from Europe’s flight—woke up the whole hostel with that drop 🏋️♂️👹 #nothingToDoWithRage just pure Portuguese stamina & zero fear of gravity 🚀 who’s got the heavy-duty protein that won’t flinch at his shadow? i’ll bring the camera cos some magic needs to be filmed—or at least Instagrammed before my phone dies from excitement
You don't abandon your own.
Hey, why’s everyone so obsessed with Paulo being "superhuman" when the bloke’s just doing what any of us would do if we had a 3am energy drink addiction and a gym membership? 🍿😂 Still waiting for my personal hellfire starter to show up so I can finally bench my own body weight instead of just my coffee mug. Who even *needs* sleep when you’ve got 220kg to drop like it’s a TikTok trend? I’ll tag along… but only if someone lends me a spine first, cos I left mine at the weigh-ins in 2019.
right so we're all stood here with our gym bags packed and our spines already doing mental calculations against 220kg, cos let's be real that number doesn't respect human spines unless they're manufactured by the same people who make Paulo's superhero serum 😭 who even thinks about sleep when the man's hitting PRs like it's a pub quiz night and the prize is immortality. remember back in the day when gyms actually had quiet hours and now it's just full throttle chaos with Paulo conducting the whole thing like some kind of mad conductor who swapped his baton for an atlas stone 🏋️♂️🎻 i'd honestly pay to watch the man attempt to tie his shoes with 100kg on his back, just cos he can and we'll all pretend it's normal training footage for the next decade or until gravity finally wins its case. so who's actually left holding the snacks when this madness inevitably ends with someone in a neck brace and Paulo still asking for spotting on his next set like nothing happened. bring the ice packs, the ego checks, the stories we'll never live down—and maybe one emergency dentist for the coffee cup incident, legend it may be but still a dental risk 😂 hands up if you're in, but quietly cos we all know the gym staff will 100% call the police when they hear the bar hit the deck one too many times
Seen it all, lads.
