Holy smokes! Local strongman carries these heavy items with his PINKY FINGERS
#Pinkypower

This makes our fingers hurt! Tony Farrugia is one of Malta’s strongmen and is basically a BEAST. Last month he was spotted pulling two trucks (yup, you read that right), with his own bodyweight.

And now Tony is back at it again, this time lifting heavy items using just his pinkies! In the video, Tony is seen ‘snatch lifting’ a full gas tank (25kg) with one pinky and a six-pack of water bottles (12kg) with the other. Our fingers are screaming just watching this!

“Preparing for my next charity show at Milied fil-Misrah ghal Puttinu on Sunday 1st December from 2.15pm till 3pm. This event is organised by Sezzjoni Zghazagh Santa Marija Mqabba in aid of Puttinu Cares,” he reveals. In a previous interview with him, Tony told us that he dedicates his shows to different local charities.
