  • 56 YEAR OLD - Mark 'Miracle Man' Felix - is he the 'Most Gifted'' Strongman EVER?
    Watch his 'Greatest FEATS of Strength' - The EARLY YEARS.
    How did the Englishman get to this point; and what happened at the beginning of his career?
    Felix began his career in strongman late - as a 38 year old - and within a year placed 10th in The World's Strongest Man competition in The Bahamas. His best placing would be 4th two years later in Sanya, China.
    With 13 podium finishes (7 runners up & six 3rd places) in international Strongman competitions he has still to win a maiden title - but there's time yet!
    Re-live his best moments from his early years (2006-2011) in strongman and the journey that led him to be known not only as the 'The King of GRIP', but also one the of the World's best DEADLIFTers.

    its absolutely staggering that this guy is still competing at the top, he may not have won the big shows but he has to be up there in the top legends of strongman. Who else would even think of being able to compete at WSM and look good in your mid 50's.

    I can only wonder how much more Mark would have achieved in strongman if he had started training and competing in his late teens or early twenties and was able to commit to the sport full time. The man is an absolute freak of nature.

    • @tombstoneharrystudios584

      Always wondered that myself...he's an exceptional competitor but I don't think today's style of competition suits his raw power.
      The older competitions which were much more static strength based...well, he'd have walked it!

      He has never been that good at overhead events, I'm not sure starting earlier would have changed that enough. I think he'd have been roughly where Terry Hollands was at his peak.

      I think that's a bit harsh, but I do think that his specialisation has become his weakness, so to say
      Every year he says he's come back stronger and I'm like "Mark...I love ya mate, but its not the 80s anymore! Why can't you see that?"

    • @richtheunstable3359
      @richtheunstable3359 ปีที่แล้ว

      A 4th at world's and a few podiums at Europe's isn't to bad. Great record setting deadlifter at one point. He could compete and win a number of event's before, even if he didn't stand a chance at the comp. So always interesting to have a guy like that turn up and give the guys on top a bit more competition in some events.
      Not starting at the sport until he was 38 and always being part time gives him a bit of an underdog vibe to. I think having such a mix of strengths and weaknesses means he gets a bit of the plucky underdog support from that as well.
