This is so funny! I don't care if it's a dupe  |

Haha what an idiot. I see this at the gym all the time. Small people who have inferiority complexes or something and they try to lift weight heavier then the biggest guys at the gym. Form is always awful, they accomplish nothing, and just waste their time.
Bet he takes all kinds of sick supplements too bro. My biggest piece of advice to anyone wanting to lift is figure out your daily calorie needs. Get on fitday tracker and input everything you eat. Count all your calories and manage your macros. You'll be amazed at the gains you can make and how you can control your body by tracking everything you eat. Otherwise, you're just wasting time. |

Quoted: he's lucky it didn't fall on both sides there at the end when he had to struggle to get out from underneath it. Yep! I was laughing all the way up until that point. Then when I saw that he was ok I started laughing again.  This reminds me. I need to clear all the crap off of my "storage rack" and start lifting again. I've gotten pretty lazy over this last year. |

Quoted:
Grip is way too close, all arm and little chest with that narrow a grip. Needs a longer bar. Yeah. I noticed that. What an idiot. When I started working out with a buddy we had twice the amount that guy had, but your forearms should be straight and NEVER LIFT ALONE. After we could put anymore plastic weights on the bar I decided to go to a real gym. |

Grip is way too close, all arm and little chest with that narrow a grip. Needs a longer bar. I thought the same thing. Never was very huge, but I certainly had some good free-weight mentoring from a competitive power lifter. He helped me learn the "get a spotter or leave the collars off" lesson.

How many lbs of sand was that? I think each of the large ones is 10lbs so I am thinking around 90lbs I think the big ones are 20s, aren't they. I haven't used anything buy olympic weights for 25 years now, so I can't remember. Anyway, what a tard. Big fail |
| And that is why I started lifting a bare bar and built up from there and have zero reservations about asking someone to spot me and I don't lift heavy. A guy at the gym ended up in the same position as the guy in the video with about 90# on his chest. He didn't say anything because he was embarrased. By the time I got to him two other people were lifting it off of him. Scary stuff. |

That's why I only use dumbbells if I am bench pressing by myself. Benching heavy weight without a spotter is fucking stupid. I only have dumbbells and a bench at home for that exact reason - to keep me from getting stupid. Right now, they also make a nifty long-term storage table. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Or else it'll slip out like it did that guy  |
