VIDEO: Giancarlo Stanton Bench-Presses Adriana Lima Like the Actual Hulk
By Jerry Trotta
There aren't many players in the MLB that strike fear into the hearts of pitchers upon stepping into the batter's box quite like the 6-foot-6, 245-pound behemoth that is Giancarlo Stanton. Of course, the former NL MVP often displays his superhuman strength by effortlessly uncorking moonshots. So, with the Yankees in the midst of their offseason, Stanton opted to showcase his brute strength in other ways...by casually bench-pressing Brazilian supermodel Adriana Lima during a workout in Miami.
Me, in New York: Constantly freezing, skin is red and dry from cold, only eating delivery.

Nothing to see here, folks! Just two celebrities getting in a quick pump in South Beach. Keep it moving.
We counted four reps, and Bigfoot was showing no signs of slowing down before the footage timed out. If that wasn't enough to get fans in the Bronx hyped for the 2020 campaign, well, check out Stanton absolutely bludgeoning a tire with a sledgehammer.

Which one of these workouts was more enjoyable for Stanton? Though he undoubtedly loves Hulk-smashing helpless objects, we'll go out on the most delicate of limbs and say that spending time with a former Victoria's Secret Angel got the juices flowing.
