Career

As Strongman

In 2018, Muvingi pulled a haulage truck at the National Sports Stadium on Zimbabwe Defence Forces Day. Revealing how he became strong, Jonathan Muvingi told The Herald:

"I go to the gym every day from 4am to 6am before leaving for work. Then I train from 8am to 12 noon before breaking for lunch, I then resume training from 5pm till late. So basically I spend most of my time at the gym lifting weights. Since I am a wrestler by profession, I have been training since 2007 but have recently just upped my game on heavyweight lifting. When training, I don’t lift anything less than 550 kilogrammes and for bench pressing I need from 370 to 400 kilogrammes."
