Holly O'Shea had an unfortunate experience while weightlifting during her training for the Commonwealth Games.

The gym-goer passes out after failing to successfully light the heavy weight.

After witnessing her situation, some gym fellows suddenly rush to her.

The clip shows them untying Holly's belt and putting her legs up, which makes helps her sit on the floor on her own.

"This video was a personal best attempt, and things had been going really well," said Holly.

"I'm currently training for the Commonwealth Games, so I have to lift big! During the lift, I caught the bar in the wrong place, putting pressure on my carotid artery, which is what caused me to pass out.

"I've seen multiple doctors about this who have all agreed that this is not harmful."
