Beer, steaks, and diaper rash cream. The Slovak Hulk showed us what his vacation looks like!

Slovak phenomenon and one of today’s most massive bodybuilders, Michal Križánek, is enjoying a great run. After showcasing fantastic form—the best of his career—on stages overseas in May, he treated himself to the promised break. What does a vacation look like for such a mountain of muscle? While he hasn’t completely given up the weights, he’s finally been able to enjoy some of the pleasures that are off-limits during intense training—like barbecues and beer.

Križánek has had an incredibly successful run in the United States. First, he earned an excellent second-place finish at the prestigious New York Pro, and just a week later, he celebrated an outright victory at the Pittsburgh Pro. He thus reaped the rewards of his extreme dedication and confirmed that he’s in the best shape of his life.

“I did it! First place in Pittsburgh—thank you to all my fans. I love you. See you at the Olympia. Now it’s time to take a little break, drink some beer, eat steaks, and relax a bit,” the enthusiastic Slovak giant told his fans immediately after his victory.

A more relaxed routine, but he can’t go completely without the gym

He kept his word, and a few weeks later, he shared snippets of his time off with fans on social media. He put his strict diet aside for a while, so he could fully enjoy a barbecue or relax by the water for the first time in a long time. But he couldn’t go completely without exercise—he even incorporated gym workouts into his vacation routine, albeit with a slightly more relaxed approach than during the toughest phase of his training.

He also captioned the photos from his time off with his signature humor.

“A few days of vacation in a nutshell. I’ll take one last dip, and then it’s back to training. That’s not a genitals between my legs—it’s diaper rash ointment,” he commented on the photos with a touch of exaggeration, making his followers laugh.

All Eyes on Mr. Olympia

The Slovak colossus, who weighs around 140 kilograms during his bulking phase and whose arms measure an incredible 60 centimeters, is now slowly shifting back into training mode. He’ll be fine-tuning his extreme muscle mass—which ranks him among today’s greatest bodybuilders—this fall for the highlight of this year’s season.

Awaiting him is the most famous and prestigious bodybuilding competition in the world—Mr. Olympia. Fans are already eagerly anticipating what kind of physique he’ll bring to the stage after a successful spring and a restful summer.
