There is a concept of respect in every part of life — including the gym. So, what do you think could be the worst thing to happen when you’re pumping iron? Pulling a muscle? An injury from the weights? But what if you were attacked because of the very weights you’re lifting?

In this video that is being widely shared on Facebook, a man — who is shown bench-pressing at a gym — keeps throwing around gym equipment with complete disregard. Even after the instructor warns him to respect the weights, the man continuous with his callous attitude. What happens next should be a lesson for everyone. (Especially if what this man does, resonates with you.)

The Facebook post, with the line: “Gym Rule: Respect the Equipment”. Though a look at the comments section does project a divided opinion on whether the man in the video was right or not, there seems to be a general agreement with the sentiment expressed in the video and the post — you need to respect the equipment you work with.
