The video highlights how risky such lifts can be, especially when proper support or safety measures are not in place.
The video opens with the man lying on a bench while a woman helps him get ready for the lift. Both of them hold the barbell and carefully bring it into position.
As they continue trying, the barbell slips lower and comes close to his neck. The man appears stuck and is seen pushing hard to free himself. The woman also keeps trying to lift the bar, but it does not move easily.
For a few tense seconds, both of them struggle with the weight. The situation looks serious as no one else is around to step in and help.
After putting in a lot of effort, the woman finally manages to push the barbell up just enough. The man quickly moves and rolls away from under it. He then gets off the bench, clearly shaken. Both of them appear shocked by what just happened and hug each other at the end of the clip.
The video led to many strong reactions online. A user wrote, “What an idiot, why is he asking her to give him a spot.” Another said, “That spotter is it even 40kgs in weight and he was expecting her to save him? What a moron.”
A person commented, “Complete idiot, ego lifting. Don’t put locks if you know you can’t lift it clean, have a spotter that actually has strength to spot you. He could have easily died there; that weight on neck could be fatal.”
