This is the story of a sporting battle. Only the opponent is not a man, but a barbell weighing several hundred kilograms.

Doctors, relatives, and friends do not believe in the possibility of continuing professional sports, but Fedor, in spite of fate and everyone, finds the strength and overcomes the disease. Fedor is back on the platform one-on-one with his soulless rival. How will this fight end this time?
