Candid video of funny gym momentfrom @dominos
[01]
Overview
A man is filmed in a gym performing a bench press exercise where the barbell is loaded with stacks of Domino's pizza boxes instead of weights, while another man spots him. After a few reps, he struggles and fails the lift, causing the boxes to fall off. He then gets up from the bench, picks up another pizza box from the floor, and walks away from the camera.
