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.

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.

Video showed Mamdani taking off his designer boots to more expertly kick the stranger’s soccer ball at an inflatable target.

After ditching the boots, he vigorously kicked a soccer ball at a giant inflatable dart board set up by organizers at the open streets event near the Brooklyn Museum.

Mamdani also dropped in on a DJ’s set and delivered remarks to dozens of Brooklynites.

“It is such a pleasure to be here, and I want to say thank you to the organizers for celebrating what makes this community beautiful,” Mamdani said in brief remarks. 

“I look forward to being your next mayor, next year,” he concluded.

Men’s Day is an annual open streets featuring outdoor gyms, music performances, and car shows that occurs towards the end of each summer,
