This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

How do you fuck up overhead press that badly? I've had close calls with other lifts, but if I max out and fail overhead, the only thing that happens is I can't lift the bar.

Step one: have cooked spaghetti arms

Step2: start with 100 pound weights on your first try

How weird is it that he could lift it but the arm couldn't support it? Homie there only works legs/core??

Who said they lifted it? Maybe it was on a rack and the just kinda slid it off.

My guess is that this person watched two YouTube videos of Olympic lifters do snatch and clean and though, "that's not that hard! I'll jerk that weight up there! 🏋️"

Narrator: it was that hard.

That's not an overhead press...

Yes, but the sort of person who thinks they can clean and jerk with no training is also the sort of person to get that and an overhead press confused.
