Human's have limits, push the limits and things break - nothing new

Tha’s not the first sport that injure knees. Possible to count them by the dozen. Apart from sports knees are injured by lots of daly habits such as walking and aging. Not a doctor. Just someone living with an injured knee who hasn’t tried to lift anything but his own weight.

I knew better and I clicked on the video OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 My knees now hurt. Poor guy.

I meeaaaaannnnn

That damn realDonaldTrump !

Lmao!!!!

Hmmm my sincere heartfelt sympathy for his unfortunate encounter

Why did he do that? That is just looking for trouble 😑 hope he learn not to do this stunt again 🙏

Damn! Wait those are the spotters? Not sure I’m getting under 900 lbs with 4 guys spotting looking like they’ve never had a leg day or able to move this weight off of me 🤪

CNN be like 'now he will go to work to help get Trump re-elected'...

Yikes!
