A general perusal of Ken Cooper’s competitive resume and social media platforms will make his Instagram display name “Gingercules” quite appropriate \u2014 a play on words concerning Cooper’s hair color and the famed Roman mythological hero Hercules, known for otherworldly strength<\/a>. He lived up to this public moniker again with a recent upper-body training<\/a> accomplishment. <\/p>\n

On Nov. 28, 2022, Cooper shared an Instagram clip of himself completing lateral raises<\/a> with 100-pound dumbbells. Per the caption of his post, Cooper’s initial aim was to do 10 reps for a personal record (PR), but an urging from his coach had the athlete complete a 13-rep PR instead. Cooper’s lateral raise set might be even more impressive, considering he detailed that it came near the end of an extensive overall shoulder workout<\/a>. <\/p>\n
