The Incredible Feat of Para Powerlifter Mark Swan: Bench Pressing Shaq and Simone Biles

Paralympics are incredible okay you remember the video where I said Simone Biles can jump over shaq during her floor routine well this guy over here is British para powerlifter Mark Swan he is a dwarf who’s 4 foot 5 inches tall three inches shorter than Simone Biles and he can bench press Shaquille O’neal Simone Biles and an extra 20 pounds of frozen Costco chicken on top of that I’m not kidding he can bench press over 445 pounds now para powerlifting is a little different than regular powerlifting they only compete using the bench press it’s kind of the great equalizer among disabilities but if you chuck shack on the bar for this guy uh not to scale by the way could easily bench him that’s like a warm up for this guy this is a little more to scale for Shaq I think now Mark Swan is in the 65 kilogram weight class and he’s lifting 3.1 times his body weight if Shaq were to bench 3.1 times his body weight that would be over 1,000 pounds and I don’t think Shaq can do that this this is absurd and so cool you need to watch the Paralympics is all I’m saying para powerlifting by the way starts on September 4th and don’t forget to follow and sub I make a lot of videos about this stuff
