2:47 that guy all the way to the right knew he was going to pass out and ran to save him from hitting his head while the other closer guy just watched it happen. That dude is a legend.
0:16 that might be considered a fail by some but ... That was probably the heaviest weight this guy ever squated and still managed a full squat. Even after realizing the bar was bent, he still had enough juice to try and put it back on the hooks. That was badass. Most fail compilations will show people blacking out after something like this lol.
It's not equipment failure. It's people loading the wrong equipment. Not all bars are made for seriously heavy weight. A standard gym bar will handle a couple hundred kilos/a few hundred lbs or so, whereas something like a Texas squat/deadlift bar can hold up to like 900lbs or something crazy. You should never just 'assume' a bar can handle tonnes of weight.
@@krisvearncombe Any bar of that size is likely rated for at least 700 lbs and any engineering firm would include some factor of safety especially in something as potentially dangerous as exercise equipment. It's very likely a manufacturing defect or fatigue in the metal. I can't see a way that it's Joe's fault, considering he isn't exceeding 700 lbs for that lift.
@@thomas7365 completely false. You can easily find generic 45 lb. Bars that will start to warp at 400 lbs. The guy who snapped the bar was using one and so was Sullivan in the first clip, although he was likely led to believe it was a better quality bar because he typically only lifts with quality equipment.
everything bout that one was hilarious, couldnt stand why would you try it. Friend sees him strugglin to fk town, proceeds to dance and attempt to amp him up and put the pride of his race on the line lol
@@TheWingmanPro 2:55. He did nothing wrong. The squat wrack should of been drilled in. He was doing chain squats basically. But used a band since chains aren't that wrong. Helps with locking out and people do it on bench Also 3:30, the machine malfunctioned and didn't release the wrack
@@D_Tren_Nation I think it's more the person than the technique they're using that he is talking about. They don't seem overly competent, seem overly confident, and doesn't seem like someone who you'd have a fun time at the gym with. Just an observation on what I've seen, there's no way I'd actually know this. They just oose the "that kid" essence.
Or he used to doing that to them weights.... the place for the bar is not made good.... if it was actually welded onto the area it would have held up... but also this is gym in his garage so may been only space he had or something
Seriously and he held the weight for about 30 seconds and walked it back in hahaha Seriously is impressing I would have lost money if he bet me on that
Smith machine actually does kill more people because it locks you into a strict pattern so you can’t bail lift. Had this man been using a barbell, it would have rolled of his head onto the floor and he’d be fine
Smith machine is how people die in the gym tbh, failing a squat or a bench press when the bar is locked on rails means you can't get out. Of course you can make it safe, but out of all the machines in the gym, it has the most room for fatal errors.
@@polorican5023 its a joke dude but for real i have long femur bones so for me to build big legs i have to hit like every angle possible. personally my legs didn't start improving until i was doing cossack squats and split squats as they are very difficult to do.
Last one is actually pretty impressive considering the fact that he has virtually no legs, not only was he able to un rack it, but he also bounced it on his back a few times 😂
La Rochejaquelein I mean it’s got a lot to do with genetics he definitely should try to strengthen his legs but he probably won’t ever get to normal sized legs maybe he should try pull up challenges or something
we all have that one guy at our gym 😂😂😂😂 straight ego lifting, throws all the weight his nimble body can hold, then never does a complete rep. in his mind he feels bad ass, but everyone else is thinking, “great form dumbass”.
I have skinny legs also but this dude is a full grown man and I’m still a teen but his legs are smaller than mine and I honestly don’t know how to feel about it
Imagine squatting on a Smith machine and then being so beta that you get trapped underneath the bar because it's a fixed bar path. Congratulations you played yourself.
That first guy is Joe Sullivan, super strong powerlifter. He told the story of how this happened when he was travelling around and didn't have access to his usual gym (the ELITE FTS gym ran by legend Dave Tate in Ohio). This was the best one he could find in his area and that bar was the best one in the gym. It was supposed to be rated for 1000lbs, obviously it was not as it bent like that when squatting in the 600s
