“Hear His Shoulders Begging Him to Stop”: Fitness World Goes Brutal on an Ego Lifter Pushing Weights Beyond His Limits in the Gym

Rookie bodybuilders as well as fitness influencers are seen going off-limits to become popular on social media, which eventually calls for massive injuries.

A recent video took the internet by storm showing a boy challenging his abilities while using a cable crossover. If it was not for his gym mates, he would have invited an injury to himself. However, this video created a stir among the fitness fraternity and fans couldn’t hold it longer to diss his failed attempt to lift heavy weights.

Bizarre workout video leaves fitness world baffled over the outcome

On May 3, 2023, an Instagram account named Gym Weirdos posted a clip of a boy hitting an insane workout in the gym. They captioned the video with, “ego lifting at its finest.” The video featured a boy, probably a teenager, trying to do a chest exercise. Evidently, from the snippet, the boy was trying to pull the cable crossover with a heavyweight. But even after understanding that he has bitten more than he can chew, he didn’t stop and went on with the exercise.

The machine is used to strengthen the pectoral muscle and activate the shoulder and back muscles. Bodybuilders frequently hit cable crossover to build a shredded chest. The drill is to increase the weight only after getting comfortable with it. But as it seemed, the gym goer pushed his limits somewhat very far. In fact, he took help from his mates to grab the cable.

What was most astounding was that, even after taking help from others, he couldn’t complete a single rep. However, as soon as this video went viral on the internet, fans swarmed into the comment section to talk about it. Evidently, fans were very critical of his ego-lifting. They felt it was not necessary to go beyond his abilities just to prove himself on social media.
