"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." The 2025 frontrunner for mayor also walked down Eastern Parkway as part of an Open Streets event, taking hundreds of selfies as he passed the Brooklyn Museum. While he may have floundered at the test of strength, Mamdani showed some skill with the soccer ball, the national sport of Uganda, where he was born and recently married."
Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old Socialist and Democratic Party nominee and 2025 mayoral frontrunner, attempted a bench press at a Men's Day open streets event in Brooklyn and could not lift a bar reportedly loaded to 135 pounds without assistance. Two bench-press reps required full help from a spotter from the organization "500 Men Making a Difference," and Mamdani credited the spotter. Mamdani walked down Eastern Parkway, took hundreds of selfies near the Brooklyn Museum, removed his boots to kick a soccer ball at an inflatable target, joined a DJ's set, and delivered brief remarks thanking organizers and expressing his intention to be the next mayor. Men's Day features outdoor gyms, music performances, and car shows.
