The 6ft 9 Beast - Is This Muscle Beach's Biggest Trainer?

MUSCLE Beach Venice has seen its fair share of muscled gods over the years, and now there’s a new name to add to the list. Ike Catcher is the former Mr Vienna who has made Muscle Beach his second home, living just a stone's throw away. Ike is as ripped as any bodybuilder out there, but there’s not many guys his size who do calisthenics. Ike describes himself as a “Muscle Beach legend. I'm 6ft 9, and 270 pounds. I’m one of the biggest guys in the world to do the things I do." For that reason Ike has been dubbed by some as the 'biggest man on the bars', for his impressive calisthenics routines. With the famous Muscle Beach gym currently closed due to COVID19, Ike like so many others has had to adapt his gym routine. Ike loves to train down on the beach, and whenever he does he usually attracts a crowd of people. Today Ike is meeting up with his “training bae” Lexie, to work up a sweat before attempting his challenge. The pair go through a bodyweight workout, using each other for added weight and Ike can’t resist the opportunity to show off his signature move of shoulder pressing Lexie above his head. Ike trains seven days a week and keeps his impressive body guessing, mixing up traditional bodybuilding with his love for calisthenics and yoga. Always keen to push himself to the limits, Ike has set himself a challenge of 40 muscle ups in 10 minutes, which is no mean feat for a guy his size.
