Mum Crushed To Death At Gym Trying To Lift 400lb Barbell the weight of a gorilla

A gym-goer has died trying to lift a massive 400lb barbell weighing the equivalent of a gorilla.

The woman reportedly tried to lift the colossal weight in front of her daughter at Gym Fitness Sport gymnasium in Mexico on Monday.

But the barbell appeared to be too heavy and it fell on her, crushing her neck onto the bench and killing her on the spot.

Footage shows the small woman attempting to lift the barbell at the gym in Peralvillo, Cuauhtemoc, in the Mexican capital Mexico City.

Others at the gym immediately rushed to help her after the 397lb barbell fell on the back of her neck, leaving her slumping to the floor lifeless.

One man can be seen lying her on her side as they all look on in apparent shock.
