His 'iron body' is a result of hitting himself with a hammer
We honestly didn't think this was possible...
It seems the more bizarre a story is, the more popular it becomes.
And we are uncertain as to what motivated this guy to do what he did but it sure got him noticed.
"Lino Tomasén, a 32-year-old street performer known as the ‘Cuban Ironman’, has allegedly been conditioning his body of iron by hitting himself with a heavy hammer around 1,000 times per day." (Oddity Central)
Forgive us for being naive here, but we always thought that hitting yourself with a hammer would break your bones, but apparently, it makes you stronger.
We guess that saying, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, would apply here.
The Cuban Ironman went viral in 2020 when a video of him "banging his fists and elbows against concrete walls" caught many people's attention.

"The fit-looking Ironman claims he started conditioning his body by hitting himself with a hammer when he was only 15. He has since absorbed millions of hammer blows and claims to be immune to the pain. But why would someone just start hitting themselves with a hammer? Well, Tomasén did it to condition his body for boxing, a career he has since left behind." (Oddity Central)
He has his reasons and we will leave it at that then...
