I think he might just have a fetish for losing.

      I still laugh when someone watching him doing his manly macho bigly boy warrior ethos “exercise” and they shouted “all the way down, all the way UP!”, LOOOOoooool.

      I wonder if they kept their job or if they could cover and say they were directing that at others there out of shot.

      Anyway, I remember coaches and gym teachers that would STOP COUNTING when counting reps and you did bad form. Whoever was counting for little Petey here should have done that. He was not doing anything useful here. I think I counted two actual reps out of the supposed 40-something, LOL.

        The military does the same thing during testing.

        “44…45…46…46…all the way down…46…46…”

          Haha, yeah, makes sense. That’s what I’ve heard from people in the military. They should have done that for little Petey there.

          I wish the guy yelling “all the way down, all the way up!” had added - “this means YOU, Pete!” 🤣

          Forgot to add: it would always make me laugh when they stalled the counting, and it made doing things even harder when coaches or teachers would do this. 😂
