Skipped out of work quick to sneak in an early workout. This high school kid was squatting behind me on another rack...or at least hovering around a rack. He had a few of his boys with him...and granted...they are probably all 17 or so so none of them were sizable. This kid was the biggest, prob 6'2 but lanky and not filled out at all. You could tell he was the ringmaster though. This kid has 315 on the bar and was looking around for someone to spot him. I ignored because there was NO WAY he was squatting it....lol. Some old guy said he'd spot him and this kid gets under it fearlessly. I'm thinking, what the fuck is he doing???!! I've been lifting long enough to size someone up quick to know if its a weight they should be messing with and my stomach told me no on this kid. Anyway, he goes down and ever so slowly, with the guy helping under his arms, he squeeks one out...then goes for 2....ohh jeez....the guy is really tugging now....then goes for 3! He gets stuck deeeep at the bottom and he just couldn't get out from under the bar...the guy had to pull it back off of him. The funny thing was, his form was good (or the sheer weight for his undeveloped frame perfectly smooshed him). He's all embarassed and his boys who were curling come over and they were like, "How much was that?"...and he proudly shouts "315!". I'm dying.....and then the unthinkable...it gets better. Now I have to believe he is wrenched or at least scared and exhausted from that....but no, I look up after one of my sets and the fucker has added another assortment of smaller plates...prob. an additional 30 lbs or so.....lol. I almost yelled at the old guy because he goes over to spot him again. This kid needed to be told, "Buddy, too much weight for you. Are you serious?" Again, kid gets under it and the old guy is literally hugging him at this point from behind, and he lowers the weight...and gets stuck. What a fucking moron. The best part is if I'm not mistaken, my buddy saw this kid get stuck on the incline bench under a bar about 6 months ago. Kid has no clue what his body is capable of...no clue what his maxes are. I'll bet he is juicing and is just anstonished he got a bit stronger. How can you be that goofy and careless?? I felt like yelling at the old guy for encouraging that dangerous shit.....terrible, but funny as hell.
