This weightlifter took on a little more than he could jerk when he attempted to hoist what looks like at least 400-pounds over his head — probably about 200 L-Bs more than the guy weighs. The dude gets the bar to his chest (the easy part) but you can see his knees wobble and legs give out when it's money time.
No word on if anything but his ego was broken.

Weightlifter faints after dead lift attempt (VIDEO)
A weightlifter went from dead lift to dead weight when he tried heaving almost 600 pounds to his knees and fainted. The failed attempt (1:05) must have sucked all of the blood from the heavy lifter's skull and left him a little light headed.
Although the muscleman didn't lock his knees on that attempt, he still managed to take fifth-place in the 181 lb. raw division at the 2013 Kusciesko Lifting Competition, according to the video.

80-year-old weightlifter busted as steroid cheat
Don Ramos is one aging athlete who has found a way to cheat Father Time — but not if he's been messing with Mother Nature to do it, says the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.
The latest target on the U.S.A.D.A's list: An 80-year-old weightlifter who was busted for steroids, according to The Associated Press.

The agency that brought down Lance Armstrong announced a two-year suspension for Ramos of Colorado Springs, Colo., who tested positive for steroids while attempting to set a world record in his age group at the Pan American Masters Weightlifting Championships in June.
USADA was contracted to test at the event for athletes 35 and older. The suspension means Ramos can't compete again until July 2015.
Organizers of masters events have been cracking down on doping. Two years ago, USADA suspended nine masters athletes for positive tests, including one in his 50s and three in their 60s.
