Look out Brock Lesnar. Sajad Gharibi is coming for you.

Gharibi, better known as "Persian Hercules" among many other nicknames, is a massive Iranian powerlifter with CGI-looking muscles, cartoonishly massive arms and designs on becoming the next pro-wrestling superstar.

Gharibi, 24, weighs about 350lbs and can apparently lift a lot of weight, though his powerlifting accomplishments are unknown. His Instagram page has gone viral recently -- he now has more than 105,000 followers. Gharibi also goes by the nickname "The Iranian Hulk," for obvious reasons.

Gharibi seems to have designs on pro wrestling as his future, rather than Olympic lifting. In a recent Instagram post, he called out WWE executive Paul Levesque, who is better known as his on-air character Triple H.

Who's going to tell this guy no?

In another post, he said Lesnar, who also competes in the UFC, is an "ultra professional sportsman" and his "favorite."

Gharibi also has absolutely gigantic hands. This can of Fanta looks comically miniscule in his bear grip.

As big as he is though, apparently Gharibi is a gentle giant and a sweetheart. There probably won't be any "Iranian Hulk" smash from him, but it's probably best to tread lightly. Especially if you're a potential WWE opponent.
