Gyms can be intimidating places sometimes. If you’re not an obsessive, the big weights especially can be surrounded by intimidatingly-sized people who might look at you racking up one or two weights per side. They might react, they might not, but the silent judgment of those people can weigh on anyone. But you know what else can weigh on a person? A whole damn ton of weights. This man trying to do an 855-pound squat goes out to anyone who’s ever felt that shame.
A special shout-out to the normal guy on the left of Mr. Hubris, with two weights per side while wearing a hoodie and cargo shorts. You keep livin’, while this guy might give himself a heart attack or a hernia (or both) with this nonsense:
We here at UPROXX recommend using clamps so that your weights don’t fall off the side. And if you literally have too many weights to fit on the bar, maybe you should slow your roll just a tad. You’re very strong, I promise — you don’t need to break any records. After all, there’s a reason that when I Googled “World Record Squat,” this happened:
It shouldn’t come as a shock to any of us that weightlifters are a competitive bunch. And in case you’re wondering, the world record is 1,268 pounds. So I guess all that’s left to say to the aspiring 855-pounder up there is, do you even lift, bro?
