I’m Quentin Oppenlander, but most people know me as The Blind Barbell. I’m a powerlifter, fitness enthusiast, and someone who’s all about breaking barriers and smashing limits—both in the gym and in life.

Across social Media, I’ve built a community of over 100,000 incredible people who follow me for my lifts, my journey, and my no-excuses approach to life. My mission? To inspire others to push past their limits, embrace the grind, and realize that anything is possible when you bring the right mindset and relentless effort.

Let’s talk numbers. I’ve pulled a 700 lb deadlift at just 175 lbs body weight—that’s FOUR TIMES my weight—and I set a state record squat in my very first powerlifting competition. For me, it’s not just about chasing PRs; it’s about proving to myself—and to others—that we’re capable of so much more than we think.

Being blind doesn’t define me. Instead, it’s part of what fuels me to go harder and prove that nothing can hold me back. I want to show the world that strength isn’t just physical—it’s mental, emotional, and something that anyone can tap into if they’re willing to put in the work.

Every day, I’m out here sharing my story, pushing myself, and connecting with people who are ready to chase greatness. So, if you’re looking for motivation, raw energy, and proof that limits are meant to be crushed—stick around. Together, we’re going to show the world what’s possible.

Come and join the BLIND BARBELL CREW and build your strength in style.
