Let him? This was a grown man.
I didn’t even think he was going to take it as far as actually lifting the weight. I was in my own zone in my head before I even realized he might be doing the whole playful “let me see if I can do that” thing. He also wasn’t tiny. He was big out of shape and really fat. For all I knew, maybe he could have done one rep and put the weight down.
He’d say â??Fundamentals are a crutch for the talentlessâ??

What!
Jesus would have dumped the rest of the plates on that side on the guy’s toes before letting the bar snap up and break his nose.
Or maybe I’m thinking Bruce Lee here…
Jesus would’ve turned the man’s water into Surge, thus ennabling him to move such a heavy weight.

Jesus would move Easter till after April 15th, so I didn’t have to spend my one day off, lifting earlier than I want to, just to spend my afternoon with my inlaws… IN A FUCkING TIE! Fuck that noise, I’m wearing sweatpants this year, and white socks… I’ll deal with my wife bitching at me.
Wait, what were we talking about?[/quote]
Fight the Powah!

Exactly. Christ doesn’t have any problems with any wieght; and he would probably be the ‘overly helpful’ guy in the gym.
For added effect to the story

I’m wearing a collared shirt…
BUT it needs to be ironed, I’m not tucking it in, and I have on shorts…
SO I won a little.
Jesus would’ve pimp slapped him

I don’t know the conversion rate between sin to plates, but I’d imagine, “All our sins” would equate to more than 10 plates a side. Just sayin’.
But dammit, X, I’m dying to know what happened! WHAT HAPPENED!?!?!?!?
Haha! this is pretty funny this happend to you X because pretty much the same thing happend to me on my last deadlift workout. I was deadlifting over in the corner, and a complete tool(you know the guy who rolls up his sleeves, only does arms workouts, flexes about 1 foot away from the mirror, and stares at everyone). Well anyway so he comes up to me and asks me if he can try what I was deadlifting. I said sure, so he steps up to the weight, does some weird grunts, and fails miserably to even nudge the weight off the floor. I’m laughing at him now because of his lame attempt at showing off, and he says he can’t lift it because he hurt his back last workout. LOL!

will.i.am [of Black Eyed Peas fame] is a pretty underrated producer. He did that beat I believe.
That being said I imagine Jesus would’ve preferred the original Iron Butterfly song from which the beat is sampled.

I would agree with this. As hard as it is for us to do, he would refuse to judge, he would seek to teach, and he would do so with compassion.
Do I think I could do that in such a situation? My bet would be no, but that’s just me.

Me either. My first thought was that I know this jackass didn’t do it on purpose, but what pissed me off to the next level (seeing as the guy was not injured aside from his pride) was that he didn’t apologize OR jump in to help me put the machine back in order. I guess he thought it was funny…at first. I threw all of the plates on the ground quick and hard, because I had to do that anyway and I was pissed at the ass hat, reracked the machine, put the weights back on and then sat back down and meditated until I didn’t want to hurt him anymore. He ran off after the first plate hit the ground as I was taking them off I am assuming because he noticed how much I did NOT find it funny. I didn’t see him again that night.
I have personally never understood sedentary people going to the gym, finding weight lifter who clearly spend some time doing it regularly and jumping in with some weight they’ve never tried just to say they can do it. This shit isn’t funny. It isn’t amusing to the rest of us…and no, if the last time you hit the gym was during the 90’s, you likely CAN’T do that much weight and can hurt yourself and waste time for the rest of us.
Left him suffer for 3 days then get him out of there so he could REJOICE his life as a reborn man!
let he without sin cast the first stone.
