This kind of stuff is no longer surprising and at this point should almost be expected. It's sad that this "phenomenon" has become quite boring of late.
Maybe there should be a "Rule 34" for @fit, if we can think of some outrageously stupid shit here, some one in a @fit gym somewhere is either trying it or will try it.

Perhaps the douchenozzle could try this while wearing roller blades. That night be fun to watch.

Being in top shape is a priority for firefighters, but exercise is also the main reason for on-the-job injuries within the Tucson Fire Department, a recently published report found.

The report by University of Arizona researchers, part of the Strategies to Prevent Injuries Among Firefighters, found that one-third of injuries were exercise-related — 85 percent from strains and sprains.

“We think that’s from a lack of training and a lack of instruction,” Capt. Jeff Langejans, a Tucson fire spokesman said.

ABSTRACT
Abel, MG, Mortara, AJ, and Pettitt, RW. Evaluation of circuittraining
intensity for firefighters. J Strength Cond Res 25(10):
2895–2901, 2011—Firefighters are required to perform a
variety of strenuous occupational tasks that require high levels
of both aerobic and anaerobic fitness. Thus, it is critical that
firefighters train at an appropriate intensity to develop adequate
levels of aerobic and anaerobic fitness. Circuit training is
a unique training method that stresses both energy systems and
therefore may be a viable training method to enhance firefighter
preparedness. Thus, the purpose of this study was to compare
the aerobic and anaerobic intensities of a circuit-based workout
to physiological data previously reported on firefighters
performing fire suppression and rescue tasks. Twenty career
firefighters performed a workout that included 2 rotations of
12 exercises that stressed all major muscle groups. Heart rate
was recorded at the completion of each exercise. Blood lactate
was measured before and approximately 5 minutes after the
workout. The workout heart rate and post–workout blood
lactate responses were statistically compared to data reported
on firefighters performing fire suppression and rescue tasks.
The mean circuit-training heart rate was similar to previously
reported heart rate responses from firefighters performing
simulated smoke-diving tasks (79 6 5 vs. 79 6 6% maximum
heart rate [HRmax], p = 0.741), but lower than previously
reported heart rate responses from firefighters performing fire
suppression tasks (79 6 5 vs. 88 6 6% HRmax, p , 0.001). The
workout produced a similar peak blood lactate compared to that
when performing firefighting tasks (12 6 3 vs. 13 6 3 mmolL21,
p = 0.084). In general, the circuit-based workout produced
a lower cardiovascular stress but a similar anaerobic stress as
compared to performing firefighting tasks. Therefore, firefighters
should supplement low-intensity circuit-training programs
with high-intensity cardiovascular and resistance training
(e.g., $85% 1-repetition maximum) exercises to adequately
prepare for the variable physical demands of firefighting.
