@Citizendivided: “Dude just put down the weights. It’s not that deep.”
@dmall3: “In her defense, she probably saw them filming and just thought it was a joke. It’s starting to become the boy who cried wolf.”
@CLAYLAVLS: “He wasn’t breathing properly. He’ll be fine. Hopefully, he lifts heavier next time.”
@jrizal1957: “Why did he try to hold it up for more than 3 seconds doing that dead lift?”
@MolinaroMikey: “People shouldn’t be lifting an unsafe amount of weight because they put themselves in danger of getting injured. Ego lifting is a real thing people shouldn’t do.”
