Weightlifter Zombie

Weightlifter Zombie is a zombie in Plants vs. Zombies Adventures. It seems that he lost his right arm, but has a very muscular left arm, and when he uses his barbell on a plant, the plant dies instantly. The Weightlifter Zombie's weakness is the Magnet Plant, which takes the barbell.

Facebook Description
He lifts weights in order to make up for crippling anxiety over his merely average walking speed.

Overview
The Weightlifter Zombie's barbell absorbs 40 normal damage shots or it is lost when it attacks a plant (at this point it loses its barbell) and is defeated at 44 normal damage shots.

Appearances

 * The Sever Glades: All levels
 * The Sand Dooms: 7, 21 to 26
 * Zombitorium Manor: 8, 19 to 30
 * Reclaiming lots: The Chilly Lot, The Sunny Lot

Strategies
Use a Shamrock, a Bamboo Shoot, or a Repeater to kill it, since the Shamrock shoots far, so it won't get killed fast. Bamboo Shoot's projectile is very strong, but try to use Plant Perk on it to expand its range and to prevent it from dying. The Repeater is a good defense too, as it deals very high damage.

For Brainball, a good strategy for when one of these is spawned is to let it stay in the back until you get near a Wall-nut. Speed it up near it and let it eat the Wall-nut. If there are no more Wall-nuts, his dumbell makes a good defense.

Trivia

 * Weightlifter Zombie's handkerchief hat represents the American Flag.
 * When the Weightlifter Zombie is in the Magnet Plant's range, the Magnet Plant attracts both the barbell and the Weightlifter Zombie's arm.
 * This is possibly meaning that the Weightlifter Zombie's arm is not real, or it may be due to his grip on the barbell.
 * Also, this means his arm could be made out of metal.
 * When he loses his barbell, his speed remains the same, even though one would speed up after losing a heavy object.
 * The Weightlifter Zombie is the only zombie that can lose both of his arms.
 * Whenever he loses his Barbell from damage, it plays the same animation of it eating a plant.
 * You can hear a crunching noise be made when he drops it.
 * There is a glitch that when it tries to eat a plant, it will drop the barbell, but when so many shots are hitting it, the animation will keep on looping, not defeating the plant.
 * The Weightlifter Zombie has a rip in one of his shoes, showing his toes.
 * Only a Hard-nut with enough health can survive a smash from this zombie.
 * It is so far the only zombie that is missing one of their arms without getting hit by any plants.
