This grandad performed a superhuman trick when asked if he wanted a seat on the subway

We’ll take it that he doesn’t need the seat, so.

WE ALL KNOW it’s just good manners to give up your seat for an elderly person.

And while some might politely decline your offer, they usually don’t do anything like this. 

During the week, Britton Barker was travelling on the subway in Rio de Janeiro with his grandfather when someone offered him a seat.

Barker shared the photos on Twitter where they have gone insanely viral. He told Buzzfeed that his grandfather works out regularly and does “lightweight and maximum reps,” which partially explains his superhuman strength.

 

As for his grandfather? Well, he isn’t letting his newly acquired internet fame go to his head anyway…
