Social media provides aspiring influencers with one of the fastest ways to grow their following and build an audience. In a recent Instagram video, two gym bros were trashed by fans online after they attempted to shoulder press a heavy barbell together that almost caused serious injuries. 

There is no shortage of people doing crazy things online in hopes of going viral. While some engage in hilarious pranks or amazing feats, others are willing to push the boundary for attaining fame. Fitness sensation Liver King found popularity by eating raw meat and performing insane workouts. On the other hand, influencer Joey Swoll made a name for himself by leading the charge against the rise in toxic gym culture over the last few years.

In June 2022, a female TikToker made headlines after confronting a gym worker in an angry tirade for allegedly staring at her while she stripped down to a sports bra. She lost her gym membership for falsely accusing the worker of being a pervert. Then, she received a fiery message from Swoll where he told her to reflect on her behavior and do better.

A female TikToker named Alice Elizabeth left her fellow male gym-goers stunned with her incredible strength in July 2022. Elizabeth casually walked up to a heavy barbell and pulled off a 120-kg (264.5-lb) deadlift for six reps, leaving the other gym-goers in awe of what they witnessed.

Zach Charlesworth, a college student from Montreal, got pranked into competing at a bodybuilding competition by his friends last September. He was misled into believing they would go swimming but ended up on stage next to the Men’s Physique contenders at the Montreal Summum Classic.

In a different situation, a female TikToker uploaded a clip mocking other gym members for grunting too loudly while lifting heavy weights. Swoll hit back at the woman for her offensive message and advised her to help make gyms a safe space for everyone.

Swoll took issue with Jessica Fernandez, a TikToker who hurled insults at a man for glancing in her direction and offering help earlier this year. Fernandez later admitted she was in the wrong for trying to label the guy a creep and issued an apology for the behavior.

TikTok user Newas Sharif was admiring his gains in the training room when he flexed too hard and ended up falling face first into a mirror. The incident resulted in Sharif suffering from a broken nose three months ago. The latest influencers to test their luck on camera were a couple of gym bros who were aiming to pull off an unconventional lift. 

Gym Bros flamed online after risking their lives for a gym debacle

In a recent Instagram post, two gym bros were torn online after putting their lives at risk for a failed gym stunt.

The duo tried to shoulder press a heavy barbell together. However,  the bar came crashing down on them and knocked them to the ground. Even the cameraman fell down from the incident presumably in shock.

Reactions came flooding in with many expressing their disapproval of the stunt.

“No hospital? Try again! Want to see them hurt,” wrote one user.

“Good… well deserved,” commented another.

A user chimed in, “Stop f*cking around in the gym for TikTok.”

“What brand of stupid did they sprinkle in their protien this morning?” asked another.

“I broke my hip just watching this,” commented one.

“When u a *etard,” weighed in another.

“Thats too bad I was hoping atleast one got seriously injured,” commented a user.

Two months ago, an online trend caught the attention of the fitness community after TikTokers suggested incorporating Pedigree dog food into their diets to bump up their overall daily protein intake. The user who started the trend eventually came clean about the prank and pleaded with the public not to eat dog food for protein.

The latest video shows that gym stunts are alive and well in the fitness community. Fortunately, the gym bros don’t appear to have been seriously injured as a result of the crazy incident.
