Taliban Fighters Struggle To Use Modern Gym Equipment: “Not A Single Taliban Tried To Deadlift.”
As the terrorist group flaunts its control over the city, video footage of Taliban soldiers working out at a gym inside Kabul’s presidential palace has surfaced online.
After Afghan President Ashraf Ghani fled the country on Sunday, the palace was handed over to the militants in a power transfer that stunned the international community.
The most recent astonishing clip shows up to a dozen men filming themselves incorrectly using weights and other equipment from inside the presidential palace.
“They [Taliban] practice sports in Jim Hall at the Presidential Palace in Kabul,” Middle Eastern news site Mulhak tweeted.

The video has elicited a wide range of reactions online, with many mocking the Taliban’s misuse of the equipment.
“Trying to be ‘fit for governing’,” journalist Asaad Hanna quipped as one woman asked: “Should we discuss the one using the crosstrainer incorrectly?”.
“That guy trying to do curls at 0:17 is going to throw his back out,” writer Sean Hastings pointed out.
“Not a single Taliban tried to deadlift,” Lebanese-American essayist and author Nassim Nicholas Taleb noted.
