Sage Northcutt, a pile of muscles currently fighting in the UFC, issued a challenge to his social media followers recently. He wants to see who can rip an apple in half, perhaps to show off his ridiculous biceps, or perhaps to make a pie.

Model Chrissy Teigen saw this and decided it would be the perfect birthday gift.

Sage, because he is very chill and also because his pecs are terrifying, fulfilled Teigen’s wish.

Yeah, that’s pretty cool, but a better test of strength would be seeing who could run the farthest with 86 pounds of gold.
