Man Tries To Squat 855 Pounds And It Goes Terribly Wrong

Oh, no, he wasn't ready!

Weightlifters who can successfully squat ridiculous amounts of weight are impressive human beings. But when a lift goes wrong, it could either end disastrously or hilariously. Luckily, this video was the latter.

Watch as this man tries to squat 855 pounds, but fails miserably.

That's nine 45-pound plates on each side! It also appears that there was no way to lock the weights, as they completely cover both sides of the bar. He also could've, you know, decided to not try and squat 855 pounds.

This side angle shows each plate falling off and the moment when things start to fall apart for the lifter. 

Welp.
