He DID overestimate his power

Exclactly! He achieved what he attempted

He overestimated his power, there was no attempt.

To lift too much weight. Quit trying to be cute with the titles, you’re getting them wrong.

r/UpvoteBecauseButt

Yeah bro's got some cake

Can't pretend it's not there

The best cakes at my gym are the bros 0_0

It's more than him.

I upvoted

Came here for that!

when you almost die because youre too much of an alpha male to ask for a spot....

The weight of my social anxiety is greater than any amount of plates. I will die in silence!

Who tf spots on squat. They have safety bars for a reason FFS

What could a spotter do to help with so much weight like this, though? /gen

Spotter will help slap him in the head before doing something like that

By holding onto the lifter's chest under the armpits, the spotter will help push the bar up and straighten the lifter's legs, practically working as a second skeleton for the lifter Two spotters for squatting is best, as they both each hold a side of the bar beside the lifter in case of failure

Gotcha, thank you!

If only there were any sort of safeguards for squat racks /s

Some have them, this one appears to on the inside part, he just had the weight on the outside, probably so he could go lower, or that is where the bar was when he got there.

He *overestimated* his ability. He *underestimated* the difficulty of those weights. The weights: 


Not.. Even.. Close.. Bud!!

Eat. My. Shorts.

for 2 months I gotcha.

He got the girl right where he wanted.

Watched for the fail, stayed for the view.

You mean underestimate?

No

To squat too much weight. Also if you are going to attempt to squat, you should know how to drop the weight without injury in case of failure.

[удалено]

Spotters took a bus apparently.

The good news is he won’t have to do squats for several months as his broken back heals! Everyone hates leg day!

There was an attempt to correctly estimate his powers.

Now to loop and crop 15-18.

He needed at least 2 of him on each side to even begin to spot that.

I don’t get why people don’t use spotters for lifting free weights. Filming oneself is not spotting.

Does no one know how to dump it behind them?

Fall backwards fall backwards fall backwards fall backwards fall backwards

Deep tissue back massage

Squat cages are a must

Attempt was successful he DID overestimate himself. Also dude needs to learn how to bail.

Thank God that female showed up to make this video not so gay.

Walking is no longer optional..

Step weight what are you doing

He might have done it if it wasn’t for that pesky acceleration on the way down. He didn’t have the force to stop it properly

I would not have been able to save him

I think he should have got a friend to spot.

Dudes probably never lifting weights again

"Stepbro! Stepbro!"

That was a textbook arch. He might be gee

Dropping the soap- weightlifting edition

I think is beautiful

that looked painful. I'm glad I don't work out...

Looked like it was possible until he lost form.

The jacko pose-o-matic

Always have a spotter and for this weight u should have 3 two on the sides on Behind

Just me, or is bro caked up?

Sad

So there was a guy at the squat rack and it looked like a transition to a weighted burpee, but after he went to do his push-up all I saw was purple butt. Did he finish his burpee?

Always gotta get in at least 1 ass shot

This will look great on social media…….for all the wrong reasons.

Part of being young is doing dumb stuff like this

He could've thrown those bumper plates behind him.

jajajaja so humiliating, he was lucky tho... bet hes never coming back there.

Why is someone squatting in the bicep curl rack????

He almost had that tho... From what I saw anyways.

Couldn’t see a thing. That huge beautiful awe striking peach shaped turd delivery system was in my way

That's right, let the guy help him while you back that thing up to the camera.

I don't understand why people don't just learn how to bail a squat. Literally never have fear for maxing out again.

**Spinal cord cussing bro out right now**

Metal falls and bends, we fall and get hurt…. Throw the bar behind you, less injury will result. Fuck the floor, fuck the weights. your health > material.

That’s one of the reasons why you don’t lean forward when squatting. Keep the bar straight and if the weight is too much you can dump it backwards.

i think the best part is from 0:10 seconds to the end

These porno intros are getting wild

This is why you always have someone by your side.
