I can’t remember what I maxed out at in high school on the squat rack, partially because it falls into the “Who gives a shit?” category, but I know for certain that it wasn’t 855 pounds.
One guy who thought he could squat that much recently decided to record it for all to see. The problem with that? You guessed it: He failed miserably.
The epic fail doesn’t take place until the two-minute mark, but if you jump all the way to that point, you’ll miss all of the grunts and double-checking that go into not being able to lift that much weight:
Who knows? Maybe if the gym wouldn’t have been pumping pure dog shit through their speakers, the dude would have been more inspired to get the job done.
