Felix beats his own HERCULES HOLD WORLD RECORD!

7th September 2019 - Mark Felix takes to the stage for event 4 of the World's Strongest Man Tour Finals at Manchester Arena to attempt to break his own WORLD RECORD on the Pillars of Hercules.
Can the 53 year old plasterer from Blackburn achieve the impossible and break his own record for a 3rd time in 12 months?

[@kristofevarsson6903]

Having someone asking me that exact question as I was wrestling 20+ lbs out of my weight class for the gold medal, I can personally attest that every atom in your body kicks into maximum overdrive. For me, I bridged out of a very tight cradle and reversed the hold on him; for Mr. Felix, it made all the weight and fatigue go away for about ten seconds.

Ephesians‬ ‭6:10‭-‬18‬ ‭Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints. The bible is no old book. You have to really let Christ open your eyes; to see the world in shambles. Many people say it's a religion to lock up people in chains, and say it's a rule book.. why? Because people hate hearing the truth, it hurts their flesh, it's hurts their pride, it's exposes on what things have they done..people love this world so much, s*x, money, power, women, supercars.. things of this world. Still trying to find something that can fill that emptiness in your heart. You can't find that in this world.. only in Christ, the bible is no chains, it's a chainbreaker. Breaking your sins into pieces... Repent now, and turn back to the true Lord only.. God bless. 😊

Watch his hands, the man absolutely gave it his all and it shows. His grip failed but only after successfully beating his own record, the world record.
