We’ve all had those gym moments where we’re laughing at ourselves *and* cringing at the same time. Those “oh no, I’m never going back to the gym” moments. Well, David, aka @dtiersquats, decided to share his own epic gym fail, and it’s quickly become the talk of the fitness world. It’s so funny it hurts… and kinda scary too!
This whole thing is a reminder that sometimes, even at the gym, we all need to laugh at ourselves!
David, after taking a break from squats, was ready to jump back in. He felt strong, he felt ready, and he was ready to conquer those weights! But his comeback wasn’t exactly textbook.
He was going for a hefty 545lbs, and at first, everything looked good. He loaded up the barbell, took a deep breath, and started his squat. He lowered the weight perfectly, demonstrating great form. Then… disaster! His knees gave way, and things went sideways.
“I gotta switch gyms,” he joked in the caption, and trust me, it’s pretty clear he wasn’t kidding!
The video shows the whole thing: David’s descent into the squat, his knees buckling, his struggle to come back up… and then, he trips over the barbell! Thankfully, the safety rails saved him from a serious accident.

The internet’s reaction? Pure gold:
“That dizziness made him forget there’s a 545lb bar in front of him,” one commenter said, laughing.
“Pack it up buddy, you’re done!” another chimed in.
“The safety metal part curved upwards to stop the barbell. Really saved bro from making this situation somehow even worse,” one viewer said, relieved that he’d avoided a major injury.
David’s fail is a funny reminder that even the best of us can make mistakes at the gym. It also shows how important it is to use good form and safety equipment!
But David’s not the only one with a story to tell:
“You’re good, homie,” one commenter said.
“I burped with my mouth closed and puked out my nose mid squat. My dead*ss hasn’t been back since,” another confessed.
We all have our gym blunders, but David’s is definitely one for the books! It’s a reminder to laugh at ourselves, prioritize safety, and maybe take it a little easier on those heavy weights.
