Gym footage shows the power lifter preparing to bench press the heavy weight as his barefooted wife watches on.

The bulky man lays flat on his back and grabs hold of the metal bar before psyching himself up to complete the impressive lift.

His wife stands behind him and helps lift up the bar so it is directly above the weightlifter’s chest.

He lowers the bar in a controlled manner before quickly realising the weight is simply too much for him to handle.

After a few tense seconds of the man struggling to force the bar back up into a safe position his wife steps in to try and rescue him.

Together, they manage to move it a few inches away from the prone bodybuilder and free his body of being squashed.

The situation soon took a dangerous turn as his wife appeared to misplace the bar back onto the safety rack.

This left it sharply dropping across the bodybuilder’s neck – completely trapping him under the whole 165kg.

Panic sets in as the man struggles to breath with both him and his partner frantically trying to lift the bar.

At first, the weight barely moves despite them both trying with all their might.

They manage to make the weight tip slightly on its side and momentarily give them some hope of escape.

The man can be seen shouting directions at his wife and pulling on her top as he tries all he can to stay alive and remove the bar from his neck.

With an almighty pull on one side of the bar, the woman manages to create some separation for her husband.

He then falls off the bench and slumps onto the floor with his face now bright red.

The bar was left tipped on its side off of the man as he and his wife fall over one another in relief before embracing on the floor.

According to an Instagram post posted alongside the clip, the power lifter said: “I could not understand what I was doing, I had become unconscious.

“If it would have been a little longer, there was a possibility of death.

“I accidentally fell down from the bench and regained consciousness after two to three seconds.”
