Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal was one of the most dominant players ever. However, during the tail end of his career, he struggled with injuries and weight gain and was not the fittest. After his retirement, O’Neal continued to struggle with managing his weight. He was not very aware of his food consumption as he continued consuming food the way he used to during his intense playing years. But that was not ideal because of the change in his lifestyle. Shaq struggled with his weight for years before recently deciding to make a change.

He has been making some major progress with his fitness recently. Shaq is one of the most active NBA legends on social media. He sometimes shares some of the most random and funny things on the internet. However, he recently brought a shocking video clip to his fans’ attention.

Shaquille O’Neal shared a shocking workout clip

Shaquille O’Neal recently shared a disturbing video clip of a shocking training method that has been doing the rounds on social media. The video clip shows a group of young men laying on the floor while a trainer hits them hard on their abdomen with a tire one by one. As each student was hit with the tire, others watched in horror waiting for their turn. Apparently, they were hitting the “abs”.

The internet has seen many hilarious and funny workout clips over the years. However, many fans did not find this one particularly funny. Here are some reactions:

“Hey lets film ourselves abusing kids and call it a core exercise. Great work coach. Recommend you hire a good lawyer and start searching indeed for a new profession.”

“This is so bad for your body. Someone is having a talk with this man and explain how important the organs are and how easily they are ruptured. I understand he’s trying to have them engage their core but this is not how you do it”

“As some one who fell on my ribs , I can say defiantly not worth it on the long run , goodbye liver and galbladder function blunt trauma to that you will need surgery”

“All fun and games till he ruptures one of those boys organs! Can someone please inform him that this is how Houdini died! A blow to the gut!”

“broken ribs waiting to happen”

“How to get internal bleeding”

“Ummmmmm IMMEDIATELY NO! I would fight him for my Child!”
