Almost There

Even though this man might not be able to lift so much weight, he nevertheless gave it a shot. After all, failing at something is the only way to improve at anything. But he’s not helping himself by making that contorted face, especially when he’s also being photographed.

It becomes increasingly evident looking at this image that this man is no stranger to working out. He may have merely wanted to mix things up because he had only been lifting dumbbells until that moment. When done correctly, movements like the squat, deadlift, and bench press can help strengthen the bones and ligaments around the leg muscles.
