That sudden change caught viewers off guard and gave the clip a funny ending. On social media, users praised his strength while also enjoying the confident way he celebrated the achievement.

The original post on X reportedly received more than 2.3 million views, with the clip spreading across other social media platforms.

‘Diva’ reactions flood social media

Many viewers jokingly described the weightlifter as a “diva” and “queen”, with comments praising his confidence and style.

One person wrote that they knew a “diva” when they saw one, while another simply commented, “Clean and werk.” Others called him a “strong Queen” and praised him for showing personality after completing such a demanding lift.

Several users said they did not understand why the video was going viral at first, only to realise that the celebration was the reason.

Another viewer compared his movement to the “bend and snap”, while others joked about his unexpected change in mood.

Strength behind the fun

Amid the jokes, viewers also pointed out the serious achievement behind the viral moment. Lifting 124kg is no small feat, especially during a competitive clean and jerk.
