Tiger Shroff has time and again left us awestruck with his extreme fitness level. We saw him ace difficult exercises, from strength-training workouts to a variety of acrobatic movements like flips in the past.

The Baaghi actor does not shy away from pushing his fitness level. Once again, Tiger challenged himself to do an exercise that many of us would think twice before attempting — a deadlift with 220 kg weight.

Tiger posted an Instagram video of him attempting the deadlift. While he is unable to lift the weight in his first attempt, he is seen attempting it for the second time and lifting the barbell successfully. Watch the video:
