| ‘I Broke My Face': Fitness Influencer Goes Viral with Disastrous Workout Stunt |
| 2022-10-10 |
| Gravity vs. Mass [Breitbart] Martyn sustained his embarrassing injury after he tried to bench press Instagram gym model Angelina Maldonado, standing on a round “bumper plate.” Lying on his back as Maldonado tried to balance herself on the small plate, he began the lift, but the thing slipped from his hands, and the plate and his wife came slamming down on top of him. In the longer video posted to his TikTok, Bradley is even heard saying, “This is the dumbest s–t. We’re gonna hurt ourselves,” just before the stunt went horribly wrong. Martyn later explained where it all fell apart on him. “I tried to lift a girl. Now, I’ve done this before where a girl sat down on a plate and I pressed her. But, someone was like, ‘Why don’t you have her stand up?’ and I was like yeah, that’s cool, that’s easy,” he said, according to the New York Post. He also said he should not have used a bumper plate because it was too hard for Maldonado to balance on. Despite the now famous flub, Martyn tried the stunt again, and in subsequent videos, he is seen performing it without mishap.

| #6 Their mistake was having her try to balance balance herself on the thing as opposed to her holding a stiff position, trusting him to both lift and balance. If both are trying to balance her, every adjustment becomes a greater over-control, putting the whole thing even further out of balance until it goes over. I discovered this the hard way, when Mr, Wife was holding me in a basic two-foot stand at full extension over his head, and for some reason one of my knees slightly buckled; there was no way for me to regain position or for him to accommodate it once I was the slightest bit wobbly — we also learned that when my head hits from that great height my skull rings a perfect A above Middle C. This is the kind of thing they were aiming for (the first pair aren't as interesting, but the others demonstrate nicely what I’m talking about): |

| #5 Will he be suing the gym for his own stupidity or the makers of the plate? |
