This Is What Happened When A Guy Tried To Squat 855 Pounds

Masculinity is pretty dumb. Sometimes it can cause you to try stupid things–really stupid things–in an attempt to look "manly" or somehow superior to your fellow men. Case in point: this guy.

This guy bit off a little more than he could chew.

Wouldn't you say?

This fuckin' guy thinks he can squat 855 pounds.

Some guys at the gym just have to show off for everyone. We call 'em meatheads because their heads are about 98% muscle and 2% brain. This chump is a shining example.

Toward the beginning of the video, after he's set up the camera, he makes a guy move out of the way of his shot, and that really pisses me off.

It's like he thinks he's king of the gym and his attempt at squatting is way more important than anyone else around him. Guys like this make people hate going to the gym.

The dude and his buddy make sure all 855 pounds are on the bar "securely."

Also, I'd like to draw your attention to the fact that both guys are probably more fat than muscle.

After some other pointless prep work, he goes for the lift. It's obvious immediately that the weight is way too heavy for him.

Notice how he shakes like a little bunny rabbit beneath the weight, but his pride won't let him set the weight down and admit the fact that he's a weak, doughy little boy. Which is actually really dangerous.

And, as expected, he fails gloriously.

You could've seriously hurt somebody, dude. Not to mention the fact you're contributing to the stereotype of weightlifters being careless, unthinking dickbags. Nice going.
