<\/p>\nA 21-year-old man with a rare genetic disorder was filmed lifting a 152lb tire nearly a dozen times across his Tampa, Florida gym.<\/p>\n
The feat is impressive on its own.<\/p>\n
But what makes the demonstration even more remarkable is that Nick Santonastasso has a condition known as Hanhart Syndrome.<\/p>\n
Hanhart Syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the growth of limbs in babies, and has a survival rate of only 30 per cent.<\/p>\n
The footage, uploaded to YouTube Wednesday, shows\u00a0Santonastasso lifting the heavy black tire at least nine times, pushing himself to get every rep in at an impressive speed.<\/p>\n
\n
Santonastasso claims that he is one of only 12 people that have ever been born with the condition.<\/p>\n
‘Of those 12, 8 of them are dead,’ he says in another video named ‘My Life Story’ uploaded to his YouTube account.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Santonastasso first garnered attention with his prank videos, most notably when he costumed himself as a zombie and\u00a0frightens\u00a0Walking Dead star Norman Reedus.<\/p>\n
The young athlete’s Instagram\u00a0account is also packed with selfies at the gym, tirelessly working out, strengthening his body, and usually with a smile on his face.<\/p>\n
Santonastasso describes himself in his latest video as\u00a0‘a 21-year-old kid born with Hanhart Syndrome which is a super rare genetic disorder that either leaves babies with undeveloped limbs or undeveloped organs and with a 30 percent chance to live.’<\/p>\n
‘It only effected my (limbs), my organs are healthy,’ he continues.<\/p>\n
‘I got my early internet notoriety from my pranking videos. I then decided I wanted to become a fitness model, motivational speaker, and a body builder.<\/p>\n
‘Fast forward to now and that’s exactly what we are doing. This is me training with a 152lb tire.’<\/p>\n
