Thoughtful gym member helps teen by discouraging him from doing useless exercise

[Al Doggity]

Seriously though, kicking the weight out of his hands was fucked up.  Could have caused real injury.

[ratherbebig]

wouldve been better video if he roundhouse kicked him to the face

[Dan-O]

LOL.  Dropping the weight after every rep was kind of idiotic and douchey.  Even if I was pulling 585 lbs, I would set it down as quietly as when I picked it up.  There's no need to slam the bar down like that, it's just for show or something I guess...??

That being said, the other guy WAY overreacted.  Kindly and quietly giving the kid some tips on proper deadlifting form would have been more constructive and helpful.  And I agree with you Al, kicking the weight out of the kid's hands was fucked up and could have really hurt him.

[Tennisballz]

I think the guy is pressing charges.  I saw a youtube video on this.  The guy deadlifting has a youtube channel, can't remember his name.

Dropping the weight down like that and starting from a dead stop is how some competitors train, not saying this kid competes, maybe he saw a video. Either way, absolutely no excuse, none, zero, for that asshole to kick a bar like that, especially since that kid was using straps, could have really fucked his back.

Dude went AnimalPak on him. I agree with you. Although, something about the way it all went down, looked very old school. Like something Vince Gironda would do when he would kick guys out of the gym (Arnold?).

[Fortress]

Unbelievable. Booting the bar was absurdly dangerous. And the yelling horseshit? Good grief.

Arnold was politely told that he was a “fat fuck”. I don’t believe that he had to leave though.

Hahahahaha that made me laugh pretty fucking hard

I've read online that the tough guy is an employee of the gym named Jonathan Ciacca

Yeah, well fuck him.  Fucking bully.

If there is one thing I can't stand, it's a fucking bully.

This! I wish the kid stood up to the douche

Guy deadlifting is trained by Pete Rubish, who is a deadlifter of some regard.

As far as the story, apparently the kid was told that he could deadlift if he used the mats and kept the noise down, but the gym wasn't totally happy with it. They've gone back and forth a few times about it, and this was the culmination. Canadian lifters are saying that the gym chain is more akin to a Planet Fitness than a hardcore place.

65/35 bar steppers fault in my eye.

Lol it's all the bar steppers  fault. He kicked the bar out his hands on the way up.  Would he have done the same thing if he was benching or doing power cleans?

I get it he was mad the deadlifter was loud but that's almost assault.  You can't do something like that.

Meh. This was a few weeks before ( start of video ) -

You know they're going to be shitty, you find a new spot. Fuck the guy, but fuck that kid too.

Edit - Another where they're telling the kid not to deadlift -

Yeah, you don't kick a bar on someone like that, regardless.

According to my internet




Justice is brewing.

I don't know what kind of fucked up laws they have Canada but it's battery in the US.  He shoved the kid hard into the wall too.  I wouldn't have left until the police came and took a report.

Fuck that guy.  I don't give a damn what the lifter did, you have no right to behave like that kunt.  I hope he goes to jail.

Fair enough. I stand corrected.

The deadlifter sucks as a person if they've told him not to deadlift and he continues to do it. He should have had his membership revoked and problem solved .
