What do you get when you add gym weights to male genitals? A painful problem.
It may seem like common sense not to but a German man did just that, getting himself into trouble after his penis
became stuck in the hole of a 2.5 kilogram gym weight plate.
To make matters worse he needed the help of the fire brigade and their power tools to remove it.
The fire brigade was on Friday called to a hospital in the city of Worms, Germany, after doctors were unable to free the man's penis from the plate.
