Man attempts 855-pound squat and drops everything like a waiter stumbling with a stack of plates

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

There’s a certain beauty in staring your limits in the face and saying, “I have no limits.” This weightlifter decided he could handle an 855-pound squat at the gym and attracted all sorts of onlookers. It took him a few minutes to compose himself before attempting to lift the Herculean amount of weight, and now we see why.

Keep trying, buddy. We believe in you. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow -- but some day you’ll get there.
