NY: Mamdani fails at bench press while trying to show-off at Men’s Day in Brooklyn

“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 — and wound up getting called ‘Mamscrawny’ by a rival on social media. 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. Mamdani was unable to pick the bar up off the rack and required full assistance on two attempted reps on the bench.” (08/23/25)
