A fatal vanity lift. They should have this playing on repeat at gyms, as a reminder not to do that shit.

If he is a trainer, he should know 90% of the job is keeping your client safe

Despite the meat head not paying attention, the weight is 375 lbs, not 405 lbs. The bar on a Smith machine weighs 15 lbs, not 45 lbs. Remind me to never have you two assist at a powerlifting meet.

In addition to that, he's not even in a position to spot her, even Ronnie Coleman in his prime couldn't handle 405 lbs standing on one side of the bar. That woman and everyone around her that watched that happen is dumb as fuck.

you ain't lying darwinism at play once again. The level of stupidity. It actually makes me feel smart. And I'm a fucking moron.

thanks for the correction. I take back everything I said since the weight was only 375 (I'm kidding)

Wow the undertaker should’ve been more careful

I believe the weight was less than 375. She wouldn't have been able to lift 375 from the starting position plus how easily the guys removed it from off of her. Doesn't matter how much, what matters is it was too heavy & whoever selected that weight for her didn't train her properly to lift that weight. Furthermore & above all else there was no safety guard/catch/latch to prevent the bar from going low enough to injury her.
