A video recently went viral on the internet, and the reactions are unmissable.

As seen in the video, a healthy young male from Windsor, Canada was trying to max out his personal best. He was trying to do a deadlift with 500 lbs or, 226.7 kg weight.

While the enthusiastic gym goer scored a 10/10 for his attempt, he couldn’t quite pull off a perfect execution. As he struggled to pull the heavy weight on the deadlift, he suddenly collapsed like what some trolls call- a folding deckchair.

Hilarious, isn’t it?

Well, the internet Hall of Fame trollers did not mince words while reacting to the viral gym clip.

Social Media Had Crazy Reaction To Viral Gym Fail Video

While it is not advisable to hit a deadlift with such heavyweight without supporting tools, like a gym belt or knee and elbow support, the guy completely ripped it.

Other than him failing to pull 500 lbs, the lady in the back got most of the viewers attention for reacting as nothing has happened.

At first, she kept on doodling on her mobile. And when the young guy hit the floor almost half folded backwards, she took the trouble to stand up. But only to peep and get back to her seat, scrolling her phone.

Here’s some reactions from the viral gym video:

“How did he walk away from that omg,” a user commented.
