A burglar who attempted to break into the home of a bodybuilder experienced an unexpected twist when he was caught and forced into an intense weightlifting session.
A viral video circulating on X (formerly Twitter) shows the bodybuilder, who was in the middle of his workout session, intercepting the intruder before putting him through an impromptu fitness training.
In the clip, the bodybuilder is seen effortlessly lifting heavy weights before handing some over to the burglar, challenging him to do the same.
Despite his reluctance, the burglar is seen struggling to lift the weights as the bodybuilder and others encourage him to push harder.
As the video progresses, the burglar is subjected to more physically demanding exercises, including squats and deadlifts, leaving him visibly exhausted.
Social media users quickly reacted to the unusual scenario, flooding the comment section with humorous and thought-provoking responses.
