A weightlifter passed out after performing a deadlift and smashed a mirror behind him.

Tushar Agrawal was working out in Gorakhpur, India, on August 9 when he worked his way up his sets and reps.

Crazy footage – which has been viewed 4.4million times – shows the 23-year-old hoist up 150kg of barbell for one full rep.

Having put the bar back on the floor, Tushar suddenly passed out and fell backwards into a mirror, instantly smashing it.

Tushar said: “I’ve been gymming for the past 10 months and it was the first time I experienced anything like this. It was a very strange experience.

“The only thing I would suggest to the other beginner lifters is to properly inhale and exhale while doing heavy lifts as it’s very important.

“I had done four sets starting at 120kg before I made my way up to 150kg.

“The reason behind the blackout was that I held my breath after I pulled up the weights. This obviously caused a lack of oxygen so I passed away.

“I had a few cuts on the back as I had fell on the glass which was behind me. A deep cut just below my neck which was the major one. I didn’t need any stitches though.”
