‘What a Time to be Alive’ — Team USA Member After Her Weightlifting Training Blooper Video Went Viral

An aspiring Olympian’s weightlifting training blooper went viral this week when she accidentally dropped her weight-laden barbell that bounced its way to smashing through a window.

Mattie Rogers, 20, a member of Team USA, posted the pair of videos on her social media pages.

Rogers doesn’t just smash windows, with what appears to be a respectable 295 pounds in that video – she’s also smashed a few records as well, as she noted on Twitter.

“I'm not entirely sure why the video blew up, it's not that unusual to have weightlifting fails, nor is it THAT funny, but it happened,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “Whether good or bad… I'm happy to see this much publicity being brought to the sport of Olympic Weightlifting.”

“Welcome to the world of Olympic Weightlifting.... Or my version of it anyway,” she added.

With the attention brought in from my recent video, I wanted to say a few things. Hi new friends
