"He's doing dumbbell bicep twisting curls in the first exercise, to work on both his biceps and forearms. In the second exercise, he is using a Hack Squat Machine. The form isn't really that bad; he's just not doing the full range of motion. He's basically doing half squats instead of the full range of motion. The last exercise is called barbell bicep curls. So, his program basically targets arms and legs."

Taking to his Instagram page on 17 February 2026, the budding content creator shared a video of himself working up a sweat and showed clear signs of determination to better himself and regain his confidence after the whirlwind of emotions that followed his broken relationship.

Bash was engaged to his long-term girlfriend, content creator Ntandokazi Mzamo, in January. Pictures of her flaunting her stunning engagement ring surfaced online, followed by widespread cheer from fans.

Sadly, their love story ended in tears just days later, after the couple released a joint statement announcing that their engagement and relationship had come to an end.

"After a lot of honest conversations and reflection, we've decided to separate mutually and take time to work on ourselves individually."

What soon followed was mostly silence from Ntando, while Bash briefly addressed the split with a viral video revealing that he was not doing well.
