he's going for that World Record and he's pausing it in how much do you want Manchester United to Mark Felix
¡yes Manchester!, yes ¿Can you feel that? Mark Felix once again
credible time
truly remarkable performance from this phenomenal strength athlete Felix
lights up Manchester and we are gonna get an official time from Darren Sadler here
one minute 27.52 ladies and gentlemen a new World Record from this man Mark Felix
One year later
I was there when Mark did his first ever strongman competition
and we were in a car park in Wolverhampton and I remember saying to the athletes as a joke
it's bonus is quicker if we introduce the crowd to you guys because there were so few people there
it was driving rain and there was a incredibly Strong Man called Glenn Ross there and Mark had
never done any competition weightlifting and he was a cocktail barman from, from cruisers before
and he told me he had some some dumbbells in his room and I thought here we go some
bedroom hero has turned up to this contest he's about to get annihilated and it was
350 kilos how many reps think you can do without them thinking he's not gonna get any 14 he said
Glenn Ross did seven it was Britain's Strongest Man Mark went out there and did 14.
his sister it's like he just can do things that other people can't
¡here we go! Mark Felix 127 there are there abouts the World Record that's where he will want to go
above and Felix is on the way on the Hercules hold so many times we've seen this remarkable athlete
go that little bit further than he did the last time this is a man who holds the World Record
the only man who's come close to Mark Felix in breaking up World Record was Mark Felix himself
the last time he attempted it ¡oh! we got to see something else special 25. 25 seconds for Felix
and as you might expect he looks very comfortable and very confident at this stage
Felix will be looking for something big here to get him into those big points well
where better to do it but right here right now as he approaches 50 seconds
the clock ticking away and still rocks solid for Felix 50 he's in books, from Blackburn Lancashire
and the crown starts to react as he approaches the minute
and he goes through that battery right now he's over the minute Felix this is now for Felix
I think he is starting to look like he could do something really special again at 110.
Felix feel it now he balls he passes 115 it's in the books on how much have you got 120 Mark Felix
you are all alone 20, 25, 26, 27 is the World Record 28 and there is World Record
ladies and gentleman, once again Mark Felix, Mark Felix, takes the Word Recorld is our world Record, 132,37
132,37 for Mark Felix
ladies and gentleman is every one, every drist to take your eyes
but let me tell you now just to bring the moon
I mean Mark Felix is an extraordinary man I thought when he did his last World
Record at Manchester arena, he couldn't go any further he really pushed himself to the limit
and he had 10 000 fans screaming him on and I don't think you can
I don't you say quite how much that must give you that incredible decimal level of people just
screaming and willing you on and he could see himself in the giant screen in front and there
he didn't there I guess again you know a bit of a gust coming across out a little bit of drizzle and
he felt like performances were down from some of the other athletes I thought no chance no I think
he'd be lucky to do much more than a minute and 10 minute 20 if he's look if he's lucky
and then Felix it's just Mark Felix, he's worked as a plasterer the previous six days
leading up to it probably 10 12-hour days you never get hold of Mark before about eight in
the evening when he's done a proper day's work and that's just Mark, he's just hard
a very hard man but also exceptionally humble so I think it's wonderful
I'll just keep my head quick let's go now we've done it
¿how much longer could you have held on do you think?, I don't know I don't,
I don't really want to see but yeah it's going to be could be a few more seconds
