At least we know he won’t be a strongman leader. Mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani struggled to execute a single unassisted bench press rep while trying to impress a crowd at the annual Men’s Day open streets event in Brooklyn Saturday.
Photos showed the 33-year-old Socialist, and Democratic Party nominee, was unable to lift a bar loaded with what was said to be 135-pounds off the rack without help — and his two reps required full assistance from a smiling, large-biceped Men’s Day celebrant, photos showed.After throwing in the towel, Mamdani stood up and gave all the credit to the spotter, who was from the organization “500 Men Making a Difference.”

I am shocked that Mamdani would go to something as patriarchal and sexist as Men's Day.
Doesn't he have advisors to prevent him from doing something embarrassing? Or is this a plus in the mayoral race.
I’d love to watch the scumbag take a Hans Gruber dive off a tall building.
To be fair, Mamdani was on his period and cramping.
Not a good look.
You would think he would not do something like this without making sure he could do it.
Poor planning.
This example does not alter the fact the average man is significantly stronger than the average woman.
In fact, I believe it unexpectedly confirmed it. :)
I look forward to seeing “him” in a respectful burka next time.
those are some small 45lb plates
Hernia Mamdami.
What a weenie. Many women can bench press at least that much.

Sydney Sweeny could show him how it is done.
He and Barak need to do a lift-off. What guy can’t lift 150 lbs?
Nonsense. This actually exactly what is needed. The country has been destroyed, utterly destroyed by cowards who run for office afraid to fail. That’s definitely not what makes a country great. Poll tested losers like Newscum who pay consultants and do “listening tours” to find out what people want only to arise a month later saying, oh the country Donald Trump, I’ll act like him is a recipe for having 90 year olds in Congress who can not get a lawyer a job in Jersey because it would break a failed tradition. Mamdani may have horrible ideas but his willingness to step on a ledge and take a risk is not among or of his failings.
Psychologist and tv and radio host Dr. Ray Guarendi has done regular weekly weight training for many years. Can’t find his age but he has been practicing “over 40 years” so 60s.
He said he used to join in the kidding and challenging each other at his gym with the guys about how many plates they could handle for lifting.
Now, he said, he can only take on as many plates as the old days when he’s eating at a buffet.
At the end did they give Mamdani a participation trophy?
My first thought, too. But it is exactly who he is. It’s the same infantile mind that believes that socialism can work. No planning required.
Here’s the video

I thought they were 25's at first.
He should take part in a lesbian arm wrestling tournament. He might come in last place.
