Mexico’s three-time Paralympic and world champion has a growing Facebook fan base after launching her page only two years ago. Perez likes to share out-of-competition photos, including of her trips to different parts of the world or when having a chill moment with her family. @AmaliaPower

Chile’s 27-year-old lifter has Instagram as his top social media account. Carinao shares several photos and videos of him training, lifting heavy weights, travelling or doing different sports, usually with his shirt off to show his sculpted body. @jorgecarinao

Siamand Rahman

It is impressive to see the world’s strongest Paralympian competing, but it may be even more breathtaking to see him easily lifting over 270kg on the videos he posts of his usual training on Instagram. @siamand_rahman
