A Nigerian man has shared a scary experience after nearly injuring himself while working out at a local gym.
According to him, the weights at the gym were far heavier than what was written on them, and this almost caused him serious harm.
He explained that the 10kg he normally lifts comfortably at a standard gym, the “10kg” plates at this local spot turned out to weigh around 20kg in reality.
Thinking he was carrying his usual load, he struggled under the unexpected weight and almost lost control.
His story quickly gained attention online, sparking conversations about the quality and standards of equipment in some local gyms.
Many users reacted with humor, warning others to always test the weight before lifting to avoid a similar situation.
