Funny Gym Photos Of Workouts That Went Hilariously Wrong
This Ain’t Basketball, Man!
The move this unfortunate man in the GIF was attempting is known as the snatch. It’s an Olympic weightlifting move that commonly takes place before the better known clean and jerk. Essentially, the goal is to get the bar overhead in one swift motion and then stand up straight while holding it there.
It appears that the subject in the GIF wasn’t ready to lift a weight that heavy, leading to his head getting dribbled like a ball in the process, which has got to hurt. The heavyweight record for the Olympic snatch is currently held by Georgian lifter Lasha Talakhadze, who lifted an impressive 485lbs.
