Sometimes a story comes up that’s so weird and outrageous that there’s no way you would believe it’s real.
However, thanks to modern-day men being equipped with high-quality cameras outrageous stuff gets captured on film every now and then.
This is one such case, as a powerlifter Evan Kardon shared a video in which a local gym goer literally sits on Evan’s loaded barbell in protest and won’t allow him to deadlift the heavy ass weights.

Here’s what Evan wrote in the caption;
So this happened… while getting to take my last warmup set of deadlifts this member(does NOT work at fitness connection) offended by my use of chalk decided to take it into his own hands to prevent me from working out!
Before this moment he stood a few feet from me for 10 plus minutes waiting until I would chalk my hands again. He then sat on the barbell like that for over 15 minutes waiting for the manager to come!
The second clip is him watching me for another 10 minutes as I remove the plates from the barbell and clean it!
Wanted a big deadlift for my birthday but sometimes life throws you curveballs like this!
In the comment section, Evan gave some more details regarding this issue; He claims that the angry gym goer first stalked him from a distance watching Evan’s set up, then as he was getting ready to deadlift the man went in for the sit waiting for a gym manager to arrive.
The issue at hand? Evan’s usage of chalk in a chalk free/forbidden area. When you put things like that, the reaction kinda/sorta makes sense.
I mean, it’s a complete and utter overreaction but if the rules say “no chalk” then don’t use the damn chalk! However, it seems that the issue isn’t as black and white as it may seem. Evan is dropping more backstory to the issue on his Insta stories and here’s one of them.
So according to him, the “no chalk” rule isn’t exactly set in stone, depending on the management they give some slack to the rule. Also, it seems that the angry cap guy was under the impression Evan was already kicked out once because of chalk usage when it fact Evan was only warned about it when he decided to cancel his membership.
Of course, some internet conspiracy theorists have suggested Evan created the whole thing as a self-promotion stunt for his social media, but he denies such claims.
However, this isn’t the first time someone got triggered in a gym by a Deadlifter. Last year, the entire fitness community was united in hate towards a very arrogant gym-goer who literally kicked out a barbell out of a teenager’s hands because his deadlifts were too loud.
It didn’t even take long for the internet detectives of the world to find out the man in the video and make his social media life a living hell.
So yeah…as much as this look fake-y and far fetched, there’s a solid chance this is legit. Stupid people do exist and they tend to do stupid things…it just so happens that nowadays we have access to cameras that allows us to capture the said activities.

But the real problem is is that society is so concerned about not offending anyone and pussy ass m************ coming into the gym not wanting to really work out and not understanding that chalk is actually a necessary thing if you were powerlifting and sweating and actually doing something and doing it the right way of course his form was not that good but that’s beside the point at least he’s trying what was the other guy do sitting on someone’s weights yeah that’s a great exercise sitting on their ass ….all people do including men nowadays is bitching whine and moan about other people s*** when it’s really not even bothering them it’s just they’re f****** perception is so f***** up because of the PC culture we live in is b******* if you don’t want to work out and go to the gym where somebody uses chalk as the management you shouldn’t f****** cave into them tell them to go eat s*** and kicking them the нf*** out of the goddamn gym i personally if i run my own gym with tell any motherfuker who said oh i’m offended cuz that guy’s using chalk as long as he cleaned it up the best he could or if it was in a specific area for deadlifts and squats i will tell that member that was complaining … Hey your memberships cancel get the f*** out of my business and that’s the b******* we have to deal with is that there’s so many gумѕ you can go to go to planet fitness you little pussy motherfuker roll little f***** twoface b****** gо
His back is too round in my view. He is going to hurt himself.
Thinking the same thing. Hat dude saved him a ruptured disk.
Yes, horrible form. This guy will have major back problems and pain in a few years.
Citation needed.
I think you mean “outrageous” not outrages 🤪
Beat me to it Germ. Look most of the computer assisted spell checker generation will tell you they don’t care or what does it matter and I get it but it looks so unprofessional.
Spell checkers are millenials…
Doing deadlifts at a gym is quite common, but when someone who is extremely vocal when doing deadlifts ends up shitting his lycra and its running down his leg we have to ask is it worth it.
Either you’re allowed to use chalk or you’re not. It can’t possibly be subjective, by definition. This is the dumbest thing I’ve seen online in a while. Evan is in the wrong, 100%. Maybe the capped guy didn’t handle it correctly, but that doesn’t mean Evan isn’t being a fucking shitbag using chalk when it’s a rule he’s been SPOKEN TO ABOUT.
This is the shit that makes Millenials look like assholes. Evan thinks he can do what he wants. Guess what, Evan. You’re wrong. Find a powerlifting gym or build your own. Until then, leave the fucking chalk at home.
You mad bro?
The guy in the cap is asking Evan to do some calves😊
I was gonna say this. Seems like the minimum literacy rates for “journalists” these days is low enough that a dyslexic toddler could do it.
That back…oof. More curve than the St Louis Arch. Looks like, judging by physiques, he could probably use some pointers from the guy that sat on the bar. Same as someone said above, if the rules state to not use chalk….don’t use chalk.
I see two problems here , first if someone did that to me while I’m working out , we’d both be outside 👊 you don’t do that to anyone. Second your form was really messed up , you can’t have bad form with deadlifts or squats, that’s snap city . Long term effects back problems so that idiot probably saved you .
i think the way he was making noise with baging weights that created such upset and searching for something to blame the guy with was the chalk..
If the rules say no chalk, find a real gym
His form is horrible, I guess that’s what the other guy was trying to tell him😂😂😂
no chalk means no chalk DUMMY
Use chalk or eat it. Simple decision, and the clown with the hat should worry less about stopping chalk users and work on his legs and calves. His lower half looks pre-puberty.
