855 Pounds Spill Sideways in Man's Epic Squat Attempt Gone Wrong

Warning: Video contains NSFW language.

When dreams collide with reality, 855 pounds in weight plates are liable to hit the ground.

Such was the case for this man who flew too close to the sun. 

With his buddies by his side, he prepared for what could have been an impressive occasion, the kind of feat he would have forever hung his reputation on.

But it wasn't legendary. Not even close.

After an ironic, hilariously foreshadowing moment inspecting the very plates that were destined to topple, our brave warrior staggered backward, and watching the weight spill from his bar in his reflection, he succumbed to the severe pull of gravity.

We can't blame the guy for reaching for the stars, but next time, he might want to try to grab some weight clips instead.
