Musician Plays Bass Guitar While Doing Squats With Hundreds of Pounds Resting on His Upper Back

Alexander Mercieca, a musician and certified CrossFit instructor, demonstrates excellent multitasking by playing different instruments during his weight-training routine.

Examples include doing heavily weighted squats while playing the bass on “Take the Power Back” by Rage Against the Machine, “Sabotage” by Beastie Boys, and “Head Like a Hole” by Nine Inch Nails. Mercieca has between 250 and 315 pounds resting on his upper back during these unique performances.

Mercieca also played keyboards on “Girls” by Beastie Boys during a one-armed bench press and attempted to play the guitar solo on “Eruption” by Van Halen while riding an exercise bike.
