“Somebody Help Him!”: Ronnie Coleman Reacts in Horror as He Watches a Man Fight a Horrifying Fail in Gym With Weights

Ronnie Coleman is a bodybuilding legend. From 1998 to 2005, Coleman ruled the Mr. Olympia stage, winning the title eight times. Many fans consider Coleman to be the greatest of all time. Ronnie is also famous for lifting very heavy in the gym. Some of the former champion’s lifts have become iconic. So one can imagine that the King would be both amused and appalled by some gym fails. However, when Coleman sat down to react to a bunch of clips, he wasn’t ready for the final one.

As the final clip started, the former Mr. Olympia knew exactly what would happen if the man dropped the weights.

Ronnie Coleman reacts to a terrifying gym fail

On 3rd October, 2022, Ronnie Coleman uploaded a video on his YouTube channel reacting to gym fails. While the video was full of both hilarious and dangerous fails, the final clip was truly terrifying. At the 2:44 mins mark, a man can be seen attempting to bench press some weight. However, midway through the lift, he realizes that the weight is too much for him to handle. As he struggles without a spotter in sight, Ronnie says: ”Come on dude, you got this. You gonna die if you don’t!”

As the man continues trying to bail out of the lift, Ronnie reacts: “Oh, oh! You in trouble, man!”. He also says: “Somebody Help Him!”, before the guy finally bails out of the failed lift. As the video ends, a rattled Coleman puts down his headphones and says: “that was some crazy s*it.”

However, Coleman doesn’t waste any time in advising his 1.49 million strong subscriber base. The King clarifies that one can learn three things from the clip. First, don’t do heavy lifts without a spotter, wear a collar and finally: “Number three, there’s such a thing as heavy a** weight. Sometimes you can put way too much on there.”

However, his most incredible lift was probably squatting 823 lbs for 2 reps. A number that would give some professional power lifters a run for their money.
