Recently, however, one Instagram user put a whole new spin on the term \u201clifting to failure,\u201d with a funny but equally scary moment at the squat station.<\/p>\n<p>A few years ago, I overshot a box jump and did a somersault right over the top, landing upside down on my head in the process. As I turned around, I thought that no one had noticed, until I locked eyes on a girl who was shaking her head in disgust. It was embarrassing to say the least! Fortunately, however, that moment went unrecorded, except for the fact that it is etched in my mind forever.<\/p>\n<p>But for an IG user going by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dtiersquats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@<\/a><span class=\"x1lliihq x193iq5w x6ikm8r x10wlt62 xlyipyv xuxw1ft\">dtiersquats and <\/span>with a name David, a disappointing look from a fellow gymgoer wasn\u2019t enough to deter him, as he posted his own epic failure for the world to see. As expected, the internet soon weighed in.<\/p>\n<h2>Fitness Influencer Posts Epic Squat Fail<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cI gotta switch gyms,\u201d read the caption overlaying the offending video that has drawn laughs and concern in equal measure. In the clip, David, who had taken 2-and-a-half months of from squats, attempted to pick up where he left off, but a series of events had him looking more like Laurel and Hardie that Hadi Choopan.<\/p>\n<p>After placing the stacked barbell on his shoulders, David appears to start out well with a controlled lowering of the weight, but his ascent is less successful and his knees buckle under the pressure of the plates. Realizing that he was in a perilous situation, the experienced lifter uses his instincts to escape from under the bar. As the safety rails catch the barbell, David appears to have avoided catastrophe, but there\u2019s a twist. Now likely seeing stars, the silly squatter walks right into the barbell and takes a trip over the top of it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat dizziness made him forget there\u2019s a 545lb bar in front of him,\u201d quipped one viewer. \u201cPack it up buddy, you\u2019re done,\u201d exclaimed another. It\u2019s fair to say that as funny as this fail is, it\u2019s also testament to the importance of using safety rails. \u201cThe safety metal part curved upwards to stop the barbell. Really saved bro from making this situation somehow even worse,\u201d noted one viewer.<\/p>\n<p>Still, despite the obvious risks associated with lifting heavier weights that you are ready for, and this being a perfect illustration of why you should gradually increase your load, he\u2019s not the first or the last to fail on the gym floor. \u201cYou\u2019re good, homie,\u201d said another user, feeling the need to share their own fail. \u201cI burped with my mouth closed and puked out my nose mid squat.
