A young man has caused a stir online after sharing a video of a near-fatal gym mishap while trying to impress a woman he admires.
The man, identified as @..faisal._, posted a clip of himself attempting to lift a heavy barbell at the gym. His aim was to show off his strength to a lady he likes — one who reportedly has a soft spot for muscular men and bodybuilders.
However, the stunt didn’t go as planned. While lifting the barbell, the weight plate on the right side suddenly slipped off, causing the bar to become unbalanced. This led to the other end of the bar crashing down onto his chest. The man immediately let out a loud, panicked cry for help as he struggled beneath the weight.
In the chaotic moment, he narrowly avoided a severe injury to his neck or ribs. According to his caption, the incident nearly “kpaid” (slang for "killed") him, all in a bid to gain muscle and admiration from a woman who may or may not reciprocate his feelings.
The video quickly went viral, attracting a mix of amusement, concern, and mockery from viewers. Many netizens filled the comment section with sarcastic remarks about the lengths some men go just to win the affection of women, with others joking that he should be more focused on safety than on trying to impress.
