Weight Training Blog

Here’s a video that’s been around for a while of a guy dropping 305 pounds right on his chest, from a locked position. All I have to say is that had to hurt afterwards!

Here’s the link:

For those of you wondering, he should have simply wrapped his thumbs around the bar. Sure, you can get away with not wrapping your thumbs around the bar when doing 135 pounds, but things change a little bit when you load on nearly 200 more pounds! This guy is lucky to be alive.

Here’s a video one of my buddies posted on my facebook wall, which it’s pretty graphic if you have a weak stomach:

I like reading through the comments about how he had no business stepping under a bar with that amount of weight, or how the spotters didn’t “help him” but instead let him struggle with the weight leading him to throw up like he did. Of course, these are people who have never really squated before in their lives, or they are a fratboy lifter. It’s videos like that that make me wish YouTube would just disable comments to prevent the spread of stupidity.
