SWOLE CHEF is the hero the White House needs

White House? More like Weight House.

We don’t need guns or any other type of artillery. These are the only arms we need.

Andre Rush is a freelance cook for the White House and has been been decorating cakes and making ice sculptures for presidents since 1997. You can easily identify him. He’s the one with the 24-inch arms busting out of his uniform and is definitely the only person in the White House who can bench 700 pounds.

According to the Washingtonian, Rush is a 45-year-old Mississippi native with 24 years of Army experience under his belt. He has now since retired, which assumedly has given him more time to lift weights. His triceps alone are bigger than the face of the guy next to him in the photo above.

And he’s not taking any shortcuts with steroids either. In fact, when asked if he’s ever taken them, he gave the most intimidating response. No one is going to question Rush with a response like that.

He emphasizes that he’s never taken steroids. “If I had ever taken steroids, I would hate to see what kind of monster I would be right now.”

The size of his arms somehow become exponentially bigger when you realize his name could be mistaken for a random wrestler’s. Andre Rush, John Cena, and Roman Reigns have all probably teamed up in the squared circle in some alternate universe where a pro wrestler discovered him at the gym.

With arms like those, decorating cakes and sculpting ice could prove to be cumbersome. Maybe there have been situations where he was too strong and he’s chipped too much ice. But that also goes to show that he’s as graceful as he is muscular.

Then again, with those arms, Andre Rush could do anything he wants.
