Big Man on Instagram is a column in which we highlight the exhibitionists of social media.
If you like a seriously jacked man in uniform, look no further than NYPD Police Officer Michael Counihan. New York’s fittest cop recently appeared in the NY Post sharing his love of fitness and how he’s hoping to fight the stereotype of the donut-eating cop. The Post writes:
At 5 feet 9 and 210 pounds of pure, rippling muscle, the handsome cop is bringing new meaning to the phrase “New York’s Finest.”
He can bench-press 405 pounds, dead-lift 675 pounds, squat 635 pounds and hits the gym five days a week for two hours a day. His arms are so big, he wears extra-large shirts to accommodate his bulging biceps — though they’re tailored to snugly fit his narrow waist.
As for his Instagram, Counihan says he created the account “to break the negative stereotypes against cops, that they are chubby and overweight and eat doughnuts” and “to build a platform to inspire first responders to be in shape.”

Counihan’s perfectly tailored uniforms underscore the importance of fit (a shirt fitting those guns and tapered at the waist like that can’t be bought off the rack).

Speaking of guns, Counihan believes in the right to bare arms.
‘Murica.

He’s also an advocate for gym selfies.
He even shares inspirational quotes.
Changing lives and perceptions, one push-up at a time.

He also knows how you feel when you’re hitting it hard in the gym.
And even he, Mr. No Donuts, indulges his sweet tooth every once in a while.

Plus, he knows the value of a good vacay.
And is happy to indulge your fetishes.
He doesn’t mind stripping down.

Or getting dirty.
Keep up the good work, Officer.
