    Hi Eli! I'm from the Philippines. There are hardly any channels and such people who have the same or similiar creativity as inspired by yours. I started my youtube channel with a fitness content intended to be about getting fit for the apocalypse and such etc. I'm an avid fan of your work and regardless of how short and literally of one video you have about fitness(aside from Omarisuf's video of you doing deadlifts), it really has helped me become inspired by your works. I'm after all down on a budget and very inspired to become a youtuber such as you, especially with the creativity but still heavily focused on fitness itself. If there are anymore Zednought greek names available, I am free to be christened by you, the official and only Zednought Alpha himself. Thank you!

      Why would he go down a rank? Eli makes maces that hold themselves together and takes lashes from a whip like it's nothing. The dudebros over at ZGB duct tape a ball of scissors together, swing it around on the end of a string, get a minor cut from it, and go screaming to the hospital for stitches.
      In fact, I think the only reason Eli went for stitches was because the callouses on his hands were too brawling to push a needle through to do it himself.

    For an outsider's perspective, it's deeply interesting to me how the pumpkins absorbed the impact of your mace. It very much cut, you went getting the percussive burst of a baseball bat for example, you got nearly shape perfect cutting penetration like hitting it with a heavy cleaver. Very interesting.
