I'm assuming they assumed normies wouldn't know what "squatting" means in this context. If many of your readers don't speak English natively this might be a consideration
I was trained from a young age on how to lift correctly so I never found the squat intimidating. Deadlifts, the untrained doing oly lifts, leg press, smith machine, meme shit, morons around dumbbells... this is all where where the danger in the gym lies.
Imagine being too much of a pussy to do a perfectly safe barbell lift practiced by basically every strength based athlete who ever lived. Imagine coping with this fact by implying that exercise is only for women.
The core of your sentence is “I’m a pussy who is too afraid to squat with weight that can be bench pressed by a highschool girl”. The rest is just cope.
All of the big 4 compound lifts are incredibly dangerous and far too often gym noobs are caught out and ending dying in the place that supposed to help them live.
It’s fricking tragic and something needs to change in the culture.
>Lifting is a low IQ sport. Since meatheads are lifting and low IQ, lifting is dangerous.
I'm rich. Started on Wall Street and went into tech. 95% of founders and CEO's are fitness nuts. And 90% of their efforts are toward endurance sports. I'm in a tiny minority who visibly lifts and I do indeed look out of place at something like a summer gathering when everyone's in tshirts and golf shirts. The joke is I'm someone's chief of security. For point of reference I'm around natty limit (think Georges St Pierre).
Lifting may not be exercise for dummies but the elites do disdain it. That's why Jeff Bezos got so much attention when he hit the TRT. It's unusual. Slowly changing, but still unusual. Of course the wives always tell me they wish their Zuckerbergs would lift a bit and couldn't I encourage them, at which point I reenact this video

lol I started a tech company and I run between 8 and 10 miles every day. I also lift but I have lifted since HS. Most of those guys wouldn't work out at all but cardio is like a stress relief drug. It's literally the running from the voices meme because starting a company is fricking insanity.
Same with track athletes, or crossfitter, or strongman, or basketball player, or footballer, etc. Literally every sport or competition, and I don't mean just at the Olympic level. Even at amateur levels, literally every single person has experienced some sort of injury that has impeded performance or training.
Fun fact: track actually has the most injuries per capita out of any sport.
I came within centimeters of smashing my skull in with the bar once because I set the safties too low
Always set the safties assuming the worst will happen
I had it so the safeties would catch the bar over my neck but not my forehead but when I was failing the last rep the bar went in the direction of my head more than I was expecting
I'm moronic I know
Imagine trying to rationalize not doing the most productive thing under the guise of safety when the entire industry preaches using safe practices when doing this body making movements
Also, more people get hurt leg pressing than squatting
No joke
what a load of shit, olympic lifters squat on their platform, no safetis nothing just two sticks holding the barbell, why they are not dying ? cause they know what they are doing
Yes, there can be a difference between Olympic lifting and lifting enhanced by steroids regarding the weight used and personal records.
Olympic Lifting (Drug-Free):
In Olympic lifting competitions where athletes compete without the use of performance-enhancing drugs, the weights lifted are a reflection of the athletes' natural strength, technique, and training efforts. Athletes in this category achieve their personal records through hard work, dedication, and disciplined training. The weight lifted reflects their true physical capabilities without the aid of steroids or other performance-enhancing substances.
Lifting Enhanced by Steroids:
When athletes use steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs to enhance their strength, muscle mass, and recovery, it can lead to significant improvements in their lifting capabilities. Steroids can allow athletes to recover faster between workouts, experience increased muscle growth, and lift heavier weights than they would without the drugs.
As a result, athletes using steroids can achieve higher personal records and lift heavier weights compared to their natural capabilities. This enhanced strength and muscle mass can create a notable difference in the weights lifted between athletes who use steroids and those who compete drug-free.
It's important to remember that the use of steroids in sports is not only unethical and against the rules but also dangerous to one's health. The long-term risks and side effects associated with steroid use outweigh any short-term gains in performance.
Athletes who compete drug-free in Olympic lifting and other sports deserve recognition for their dedication, hard work, and achievements achieved through natural training and athletic prowess. Lifting weights naturally and competing without the aid of performance-enhancing drugs is the true spirit of fair competition and sportsmanship.
You will never convince the younger lifters to stop doing this shit, only when they've seen their bros get snapped up over years will they figure it out and then the new generation of lifters won't listen to them. Such is the cycle of lifting.
[...]
Holy shit, his spotter caused his death.
The spotter trying to hold the weight up kept the weight from falling backward and meant the lifter had no room to fall backward with the bar where it would have fell down harmlessly without forcing his neck forward and breaking it.
If the spotter was not there he literally could have bailed and been fine but the spotter prevented him from bailing.
Never squat heavy with a spotter unless you have two on either side so you still have room to fall backwards.

Gymbros spotting squats from the back need to frick off from the gym and kys before they kill someone.
>I'm absolutely reeling.
People can die so quickly and from such seemingly insignificant actions. It makes me ill to think about how frail we truly are.
>It makes me ill to think about how frail we truly are
You are a pussy. That was over 200kg on his neck, that is a shit ton of weight. Most people would fold in half with that on their back. There is nothing insignificant about what he did it was high risk especially with that moronic spotter
>Although he had a spotter behind him, it didn’t help. The spotter also didn’t appear to be in an ideal position to help with this accident.
What a moronic thing to write, there is no possible way a single spotter couldve helped this. Side spotters couldve helped but even then if they dont grab the barbell before the squatter breaks his own neck with the bar it doesnt matter
A good spotter could have helped. The position of a rear spotter on a squat should be close to a zercher squat, so assuming he’s reasonably strong he should be able to instantly take 200+ lbs (at least half the weight in this case) off of the person doing the squat.
People misunderstand what a single spotters job is. It isn’t to miraculously recover the entire weight of a lift in the event of catastrophic failure. It’s to take enough of the weight to allow a lifter to finish the motion and return to a safe position once it’s apparent (as it was briefly in this case when the squatter started going back down) that the lift has been failed.
Also, safety bars are useful and would have saved this persons life if placed appropriately.
It looked like he was already dumping the weight forward by the time a spotter couldve done anything, which a single spotter simply cant help. Maybe he wouldve just had a sore neck in that case given that the weight rolling forward combined with the rapid movement of falling on his ass is what snabbed him. A lack of safeties was the main issue here i agree
Hi newbie, must have been scary during the Reddit blackouts huh. Anyways please lurk in /b/ for about a year before moving on to other boards. Enjoy your stay.
newbies should lurk for at least a year before posting. Plebbitors should go back and never return. It’s a thread about a guy getting his neck snapped squatting, and someone posted a video of the incident with the indication that it is in fact the video of his death. There is no other warning needed. It’s not like you watched it on accident.

Listen dude, I'll level with you; you know how you go from one country or region to another and the culture changes? How you can do something that's normal where you're from and it gets you yelled at or worse in the new place? It's the same thing with forums and other social websites. You're obviously coming from somewhere like Reddit that has a strong left leaning bias and has notoriously tyrannical moderation. This website isn't the same in any respect. An example is the term newbie. It's not necessarily an insult, except from guys who haven't seen the sun in 12 years maybe, but if he called you newhomosexual that would be a for sure insult. Same with poorgay, which means you're broke, as another example. Since there also isn't a reputation system and this place operates kindof like an oldschool forum you can't rely on saying feel good things to try and win people over for upvotes or anything like that. You should at least learn how to speak to people here. Otherwise you should probably leave or else you're just going to doomscroll and tank your mental and emotional health. Resilience is a must have trait to socialize here because there are plenty of sociopathic basement goblins intermixed with the normal people. In general this website is much more pro free speech than the forums you're probably used to and your replies show that. Please act in a way that makes my effortpost worth the time I put into it.
P.S. the people here have a general disdain for pepe but like peepo, marv, and apu a lot. Choose your frogs carefully if you don't want to be insulted. Also rare frogs that aren't commonly seen are liked a lot too. I'll post one attached to this reply >inb4 chuds tell me to an hero for helping the newbie

I understand how it works here and generally turn a blind eye to the more offensive/racist/homophobic comments and post on this board.
But this is the only board I use on this site because I take an interest in fitness. From what I know, this board is blue which means that some of the more extreme content is moderated. So I don’t expect to see gore when I browse this place and I think many others are in the same position. Isn’t it right that I should give them a quick heads up before they make the same mistake?
Look, I really appreciate the time you took to write that and I’m not paying any attention to the vile comments other members have sent me but I’m going to stand up for what I think is right.

>Realistically there's no way the spotter could've helped him even if he was God tier right?
the spotter kept pushing the weight forward to the neck, he pretty much murdered him
The spotter had an underhand grip and it more looked like he was pulling it back towards him. I don't think he's at fault.
try squatting in wraps like the guy there. i did it once and i failed my raw 1rm you have 0 control over it. you're like a fawn your legs lose so much balance because the wraps are too stiff. equipped powerlifting is a moronic sport
The fact that nobody. Noticed this tells me nobody lifts on fit. I never did squats yet I noticed he wad killed by his moronic spotter. Fricker kept the weight on his neck and I think he even made him lose his balance too.

No, just a regular squat with 18 spotters that don't know what they're doing when regular safeties would have been more effective and not get in the way of the camera shot. The moron could have just dropped the weight behind him if those guys weren't in the way. High bar is much safer and more natural than low bar, it really takes effort to frick it up like that.
If naked dudes with a little emoji over their junk is fine, so is the webm. Or are you going to tell me looking at a naked dude with an emoji over his junk is sfw?
I don't understand what the frick a spotter is supposed to do from the front or the back. Like, you're not gonna front raise 210 fricking kg and save the guy. Even from the sides, unless you got a couple of absolute units who can lift your plates strong man style, what are they gonna do except frick with your ability to move freely?
Most “spotters” never actually expect to spot. They just want to be in the mix, looking they’re doing something so they get some of the attention from the guy actually lifting.
When the shit hits the fan and it’s time to help, they end up killing the lifter.
Accurate. They don’t expect to do anything and they have no idea how to spot someone safely if something does go wrong. I’d also add the lifters typically have no idea how to work with a spotter. As other anons have pointed out it changes how you fail a lift.
Good spotters should be as strong as your are and paying close attention to your lift. So yes two side spotters for a 400lb squat should be able to stop the bar instantly and move it wherever necessary. 200 pounds is not that heavy for strong lifters in the right position.
He could've bailed the squat but didn't want to throw the barbell back because the squatter was there. So he did the next good move, put +180kg on your neck instead and hope it won't snap your vertebrae

Nothing wrong with having goals but you need to keep your ego in check because its being bruised because you keep thinking "i'm not good enough" or "i'll be happy when (insert thing you want happens)"
Being happy now and being complacent are two different things.

that's assuming not getting a gf is something you can't fail if you do everything right. 2/3s of young guys are effectively incels, only 1/3 of girls are not in relationships and that's only voluntarily
I can accept this logic for 2/3/4/5 and beyond but if you can't even hit 1/2/3/4 for one little rep each then you're probably not going to have a nice physique.
Yup
I hit 1/2/3/4 for reps and I literally ditched that shit the next day like it was hot garbage. Cardio, calisthenics and stuff like hill sprints and trail running are infinitely better and more fun in every single metric.
This was a low bar squat. He couldn't have ditched it because his ass was way behind him. Anons are saying high bar because of the depth but he only collapsed like that because he failed.
They’re saying high bar because of the bar being in the high position on his neck, thereby making it a high bar squat. If the bar was lower it would be a low bar squat. moron.
This roided-up chink died squatting less than the ORM of many naturals. That… really puts things into perspective. The gym is where we go to live better but— ironically— you can’t make good gains unless there’s a strong possibility that you die or get hurt, or somebody else kills you. Every time you lift, you are fighting against Thanatos, ready to take another sacrifice for the gym. I will use this as motivation today and go for some big lifts.
The back spotter really did kill him. Even if he did sit down and dump the bar forward like a moron if the spotter wasn't behind him bracing his body his core would have collapsed and his whole body fall forward with the hips shooting back far before his neck snapped. Also the immediate flexor posturing holy shit his spinal cord was fricked immediately.
In short don't squat with a back spotter, side spotters or just use safeties like a non moron.
I've spotted, and saved, much heavier squats like this and I'm practically DYEL. If you want to spot a squat from the back, you don't save it by grabbing the bar, that's fricking moronic, you get up close and personal behind them, like you're going to frick them up the ass (don't), give them a big bear hug around the chest, and squat the weight up with them. When done correctly (it's not hard), you can instantly lift at least 50% of your max squat weight for them, so unless the dude passes out you can both easily complete the (failed) lift together.
Hot take: The spotter and the lifter both knew this, but they wanted a better angle for the Instagram shot, since that's the focus for "influencer" lifters. Either way the spotter has some 'splaining to do.
i don't spot because imagine you do that and the Black person dumps the bar back over you. it's so fricking moronic so many ways to snap your shit up for no reason. just put the safeties where they belong
you forgot to mention that you're supposed to insert your erect penis into his behind so you're properly locked together like a trailer on a truck. the male member can lift up to 10% of your max squad, too so you increase your potential assist from 50% to 60%.
>give them a big bear hug around the chest
good way to pop someone's eyes out if they're lifting 200+ kg or alternatively have the bar roll directly into your own neck and snapping it in half too.
the only way you can safely spot someone's squat from the back, when they are effectively not using a rack or safeties, is to transition into a front squat yourself, and that isn't possible to do at 200+ kg when the inertia of the bar alone is going to snap your shit if you get in its way.
One hand on the low back, one hand on the chest, squat with him. You should be able to provide hundreds of pounds of help with little effort! >hands on the barbell
Send this fool to prison!
This will never happen to you if you never go for one rep maxes.
If you just do three sets of 5 or heavy triples and increase the weight bit by bit this will never happen unless someone pushes you while you're squatting or you get very unlucky with an aneurysm/stroke in the middle of the lift.
Holy frick >sits down >spine bent forward >neck reaches end of forward flexion >bar still on it >230kg of shear force on neck snaps it
Basically the same thing as happened to that stupid woman who squatted in a smith machine over a bench, in this case it was the floor not a bench but same deal
Safeties would have saved him, or not having a spotter behind and dumping the bar off his back
Kek this is why i never even needed spotters when back squatting. I’ve attempt a lot of 1rms and failed a lot of them. I do very Olympic style high bar back squat too, and if you want training videos online you’ll see how they do no no no squats , meaning no belt no wraps no spotters. You simply dump the weight off your back if you fail the squat. This spotter actually may have killed the guy.
Back squat is actually king for overall body strength. Dude I’m the video was already hip hinging the squat hard and didn’t bail correctly. Also a moron ego lifter.
>overall body strength
no one cares, if you ever are in a situation where you need to lift a fricking log that fell on your back or whatever it's already game over for you
if I want joocy legs I can just roon or cycle and at least I get aerobic gains that guarantee an increased life-span
nope, let's meme a back snapper because big number go up, courtesy of the thousands of roidshitters fooling everyone
every day and every hour around the world, some idiot gets memed to break his back FOR FREE, when one of the biggest quality of life killers for an adult is chronic back pain
Another victim of the MUH SPOTTERS meme. Use safeties. This goes for every lift (where it makes sense). No, having some sweaty moron standing with his nuts over your face isn't better than just arching properly and benching in a rack with safeties. If a spotter wants to help with the unrack OK but if I'm going to fail just let me lower it onto the pins. Doing a heavy squat with some person dry humping you as a form of "safety" is the dumbest shit imaginable. What are they going to do if you actually fail the rep? As we can see here, nothing at all. They're just going to throw you off balance and make you really fail the rep while preventing you from dumping the weight off your back. The spotter literally got this man killed by holding the bar and trapping it on his neck instead of letting him drop it. I've failed loads of squats in a rack with heavier weight than what got this guy killed and I've had zero issues. If you're doing a full powersharter setup with three or more people acting as spotters OK that can work but if you think one incompetent person humping your back is going to save you on a heavy squat fail you're playing with your life.
yeah i only bench and squat with safeties. it's a peace of mind. i've seen "elite" lifters tear their shit up or die because it doesn't look cool or whatever to use safeties
>https://fitnessvolt.com/bodybuilder-dies-gruesome-gym-blunder/ >Ahahahahhahah frick high bar. Also frick no squatting in the cage with safeties.
"No matter how confident you may feel lifting on your own, it’s always a smart idea to have a spotter assist you when lifting heavy. "
Fricking horseshit. I've NEVER seen a spotter do anything useful on a failed squat. What you need and all you need are some version of safety bars. Bars, not pins.

Well then I rest my case. The old Fricked Company boards and associated spin-offs were the G.O.A.T. anon forums. There's at least one still limping along but they ran their course many years ago.
For me, it's the neck snap. You can literally see it SNA-AP as the bar pushes the vertebrae, if you've lifted heavy once in your life, you know the feeling of when shit is about to snap any moment now. Frick me...
>no safety of any kind >Ego lifting >bar starts on his neck >handsy spotter who thinks he can curl 3.5pl8s >spotter pushed the bar forward and prevented him from escaping the lift
If the article is to be believed it’s 180kg, but you’re right that it looks like the reds are 25kg each. They could be mistaken and it’s actually 210kg
More ego lifting.
Struggling to unrack which should be piss easy
Shaking when standing
Doesn't allow the weight to settle before descending
Shaking on the way down
Never looks comfortable and in control.
Safeties too low. It takes ten seconds to test whether or not the safeties are at a good height and then you never need to do it again on that rack if you remember your setup. Furthermore, if you're in a full rack why not just use real safeties instead of those dog shit mini half ones that he was about to miss? What the frick were these people thinking?
This is unironically not that bad for a one rep max attempt. If he hadn’t accidentally killed himself at a later time, nobody would be super critical. Could’ve given himself a moment to prepare for the descent, a slower and more controlled descent would’ve been better, and some forward leaning on the ascent but the speed was good, even out of the hole. All in all, not dangerous and probably would’ve passed in a meet. Just ugly.
Never have a back spotter when you squat. If you don’t have the weight just toss it off your back as you go down. The spotter is responsible for this death
Realistically there's no way the spotter could've helped him even if he was God tier right? There's no way to redirect all that mass from the back or front. You're just in the way.
>Realistically there's no way the spotter could've helped him even if he was God tier right?

Before people post what its supposed to be
No, it's not a real lift. He should have just trained log and push press instead of whatever the frick he was doing
I assume his arm buckled about 3/4 to arm lockout and he dropped it on his skull
Imagine how many people have died doing OHP. The bar is in the position at the top that can kill you. Any slight frick up and that bar will drop right on the top of your head. It’s really insane how dangerous lifting can be. Many people just look at bench, but really so much is insanely dangerous that it resembles Chinese factory accidents.
that dude had it coming, you cant highbar squat when your upper back is all rounded, if your upper body cant hold the weight you are about to squat, just lower the weight and leave your ego at home
I always squat with safeties, but just for me to feel better. How do you drop weight from a squat? I feel like I can't drop it behind me without breaking my wrists however I've never tried it
I don’t get it, if it’s that heavy and your stuck in the middle, just go back to the atg bottom and dump the weight. This guy lacked the flexibility/form to go all the way down in order to dump it properly.

this, what a frick is that?
I'm assuming they assumed normies wouldn't know what "squatting" means in this context. If many of your readers don't speak English natively this might be a consideration
Squat press is when you do a squat the press the weight above your head.
That's a Sots press.
>no safeties
>killed by incompetent squatter
>preached safety and dont ego lift
everybody is at fault.
>squat-press
>he didnt use safeties
Wow, not making sure you're safe is unsafe. What a discovery!
I only squat with dumbbells. Hold one in each hand. Why risk your back and your life over a fricking woman's exercise
>Why risk your back and your life
Because it looks cooler?? duh
> woman's exercise
DYEL and NGMI
I was trained from a young age on how to lift correctly so I never found the squat intimidating. Deadlifts, the untrained doing oly lifts, leg press, smith machine, meme shit, morons around dumbbells... this is all where where the danger in the gym lies.
Imagine being too much of a pussy to do a perfectly safe barbell lift practiced by basically every strength based athlete who ever lived. Imagine coping with this fact by implying that exercise is only for women.
>strength athlete
Not everyone who squats is a strength athlete, but basically all strength athletes squat.
>imagine being so dumb you can't even comprehend the core of a sentence
keep pressing, you're funny
The core of your sentence is “I’m a pussy who is too afraid to squat with weight that can be bench pressed by a highschool girl”. The rest is just cope.
>Why risk your back and your life over a fricking woman's exercise
The most feminine post I've ever seen.
I played handegg for a large portion of my life. It's hardwired.m2nsty
they hated him cause he told the truth
>fricking woman
No thanks. That's just disgusting
Do hack squats/other machine or front squats man. You didn't need to go that far unless you train at home and all you have is dumbbells
I really think it’s high time the fitness industry has a discussion about risk vs reward when it comes to dangerous lifts like squats and deadlifts.
Too many injuries. Too many deaths. Too much risk. People should ditch these immensely dangerous exercises from their lifting routine.
those are not the only "dangerous" lifts. bench will literally decapitate you
All of the big 4 compound lifts are incredibly dangerous and far too often gym noobs are caught out and ending dying in the place that supposed to help them live.
It’s fricking tragic and something needs to change in the culture.
>All of the big 4 compound lifts are incredibly dangerous
being dumb is incredibly dangerous
Lifting is a low IQ sport. Since meatheads are lifting and low IQ, lifting is dangerous.
>Lifting is a low IQ sport. Since meatheads are lifting and low IQ, lifting is dangerous.
I'm rich. Started on Wall Street and went into tech. 95% of founders and CEO's are fitness nuts. And 90% of their efforts are toward endurance sports. I'm in a tiny minority who visibly lifts and I do indeed look out of place at something like a summer gathering when everyone's in tshirts and golf shirts. The joke is I'm someone's chief of security. For point of reference I'm around natty limit (think Georges St Pierre).
Lifting may not be exercise for dummies but the elites do disdain it. That's why Jeff Bezos got so much attention when he hit the TRT. It's unusual. Slowly changing, but still unusual. Of course the wives always tell me they wish their Zuckerbergs would lift a bit and couldn't I encourage them, at which point I reenact this video
>I'm rich
Stopped reading. Don't care.
Verification not required.
lol I started a tech company and I run between 8 and 10 miles every day. I also lift but I have lifted since HS. Most of those guys wouldn't work out at all but cardio is like a stress relief drug. It's literally the running from the voices meme because starting a company is fricking insanity.
Only dumb people train powerlifting.
Fun fact: Not a single powerlifter without injuries exists.
Same with track athletes, or crossfitter, or strongman, or basketball player, or footballer, etc. Literally every sport or competition, and I don't mean just at the Olympic level. Even at amateur levels, literally every single person has experienced some sort of injury that has impeded performance or training.
Fun fact: track actually has the most injuries per capita out of any sport.
I came within centimeters of smashing my skull in with the bar once because I set the safties too low
Always set the safties assuming the worst will happen
Do you not test the safeties with just the bar and then write down where they go? Seems common sense
I had it so the safeties would catch the bar over my neck but not my forehead but when I was failing the last rep the bar went in the direction of my head more than I was expecting
I'm moronic I know
I arch. So I tested it with just the bar. It hits my arched chest but if I relax the arch the bar falls safely onto the rails. Guaranteed safety
I also arch I just didn't like how close the bar came to the safeties when it touched my chest so I put it a little lower lol
View it as a test for consistency. If you hit the safeties you know you goofed.
Imagine trying to rationalize not doing the most productive thing under the guise of safety when the entire industry preaches using safe practices when doing this body making movements
Also, more people get hurt leg pressing than squatting
No joke
what a load of shit, olympic lifters squat on their platform, no safetis nothing just two sticks holding the barbell, why they are not dying ? cause they know what they are doing
Yes, there can be a difference between Olympic lifting and lifting enhanced by steroids regarding the weight used and personal records.
Olympic Lifting (Drug-Free):
In Olympic lifting competitions where athletes compete without the use of performance-enhancing drugs, the weights lifted are a reflection of the athletes' natural strength, technique, and training efforts. Athletes in this category achieve their personal records through hard work, dedication, and disciplined training. The weight lifted reflects their true physical capabilities without the aid of steroids or other performance-enhancing substances.
Lifting Enhanced by Steroids:
When athletes use steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs to enhance their strength, muscle mass, and recovery, it can lead to significant improvements in their lifting capabilities. Steroids can allow athletes to recover faster between workouts, experience increased muscle growth, and lift heavier weights than they would without the drugs.
As a result, athletes using steroids can achieve higher personal records and lift heavier weights compared to their natural capabilities. This enhanced strength and muscle mass can create a notable difference in the weights lifted between athletes who use steroids and those who compete drug-free.
It's important to remember that the use of steroids in sports is not only unethical and against the rules but also dangerous to one's health. The long-term risks and side effects associated with steroid use outweigh any short-term gains in performance.
Athletes who compete drug-free in Olympic lifting and other sports deserve recognition for their dedication, hard work, and achievements achieved through natural training and athletic prowess. Lifting weights naturally and competing without the aid of performance-enhancing drugs is the true spirit of fair competition and sportsmanship.
Please don't post garbage from chat gpt
You will never convince the younger lifters to stop doing this shit, only when they've seen their bros get snapped up over years will they figure it out and then the new generation of lifters won't listen to them. Such is the cycle of lifting.
The vaxx killed him
https://fitnessvolt.com/bodybuilder-dies-gruesome-gym-blunder/
Ahahahahhahah frick high bar. Also frick no squatting in the cage with safeties.
Welp there’s a new fear unlocked
*Ahem*
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGAGDTXJGNVKSIAHQOEIRYTCBXKAI
I am never ever squatting without safeties again. I'm absolutely reeling.
It's better if you don't, but if you have to just learn how to bail a squat
He didn't want to throw the weight back because the spotter was there... So better put it on your neck
I usually do just bail. But it looks like if he had safeties, even set very low, it would have saved his life.
I bet the spotter feels like a champion
nice job doing your one job
Pretty sure the spotter killed him lol.
Dumping the weight behind you is babby tier easy
This.
Gymbros spotting squats from the back need to frick off from the gym and kys before they kill someone.
>I'm absolutely reeling.
People can die so quickly and from such seemingly insignificant actions. It makes me ill to think about how frail we truly are.
>It makes me ill to think about how frail we truly are
You are a pussy. That was over 200kg on his neck, that is a shit ton of weight. Most people would fold in half with that on their back. There is nothing insignificant about what he did it was high risk especially with that moronic spotter
that really hurts to watch
>one spotter
>no safeties
asking for it
>https://fitnessvolt.com/bodybuilder-dies-gruesome-gym-blunder/
>Squat weights he has no business squatting
>die
whelp
AAAAHHHHH I WISH I DIDN'T WATCH THAT FRICK
So he put the bar on his neck and it couldn't take +180kg of pressure so it snapped.
Damn.
Fricking moronic spotter. Why do you even need a spotter? Just squat back down and throw the weight back instead of putting it on your.neck
Why attempt to squat a weight you have no control over and need somebody to hold you. He was a moron and died like a one.
>Although he had a spotter behind him, it didn’t help. The spotter also didn’t appear to be in an ideal position to help with this accident.
What a moronic thing to write, there is no possible way a single spotter couldve helped this. Side spotters couldve helped but even then if they dont grab the barbell before the squatter breaks his own neck with the bar it doesnt matter
A good spotter could have helped. The position of a rear spotter on a squat should be close to a zercher squat, so assuming he’s reasonably strong he should be able to instantly take 200+ lbs (at least half the weight in this case) off of the person doing the squat.
People misunderstand what a single spotters job is. It isn’t to miraculously recover the entire weight of a lift in the event of catastrophic failure. It’s to take enough of the weight to allow a lifter to finish the motion and return to a safe position once it’s apparent (as it was briefly in this case when the squatter started going back down) that the lift has been failed.
Also, safety bars are useful and would have saved this persons life if placed appropriately.
It looked like he was already dumping the weight forward by the time a spotter couldve done anything, which a single spotter simply cant help. Maybe he wouldve just had a sore neck in that case given that the weight rolling forward combined with the rapid movement of falling on his ass is what snabbed him. A lack of safeties was the main issue here i agree
>spotter: dont worry, I got you
>neck snaps
>spotter: you okay bruh?
At least it was quick. He probably felt nothing
Converted for your convenience, don't give ~~*them*~~ clicks
If you need somebody to assist you to hold the weight, you shouldn't be squatting it.

Whatever bro.
Some people are here for fitness advice not to see someone’s horrific death. People need to be warned before clicking that WEBM.
I sincerely wish I didn’t watch it.
Hi newbie, must have been scary during the Reddit blackouts huh. Anyways please lurk in /b/ for about a year before moving on to other boards. Enjoy your stay.
newbies should lurk for at least a year before posting. Plebbitors should go back and never return. It’s a thread about a guy getting his neck snapped squatting, and someone posted a video of the incident with the indication that it is in fact the video of his death. There is no other warning needed. It’s not like you watched it on accident.
>newf*g
Do you have any idea how petulant you sound? Bro. You were new once too. Who gives a shit?
I’m not apologising for finding a video of a man dying in front of his children shocking. Some others will too and it’s my right to warn them about it.
I wish someone had warned me.

Someone post more gym wrecked webms for this frail newbie. Leg press snaps should do it.
Holy shit my guy. I’m not frail.
I just wasn’t expecting such a disturbing video on what is considered to be a safe board.
Yeah, I found it very difficult to watch and I’m still processing it and want to save others from making the mistake I did. Why does that bother you people so much? Empathy isn’t a weakness my dude. It’s a strength.
>I just wasn’t expecting such a disturbing video on what is considered to be a safe board.
you fricking Black person
>I'm still processing it
You're frail.
At this point , I can’t tell if you’re baiting or a genuine moron. Either way this is now a gym rekt thread. Post those webms guys.
>Intentionally watches someone die
>Surprised to see someone die
You have no functional brain
I’m actually hoping this is b8 at this point. If so, we’ll done.
Listen dude, I'll level with you; you know how you go from one country or region to another and the culture changes? How you can do something that's normal where you're from and it gets you yelled at or worse in the new place? It's the same thing with forums and other social websites. You're obviously coming from somewhere like Reddit that has a strong left leaning bias and has notoriously tyrannical moderation. This website isn't the same in any respect. An example is the term newbie. It's not necessarily an insult, except from guys who haven't seen the sun in 12 years maybe, but if he called you newhomosexual that would be a for sure insult. Same with poorgay, which means you're broke, as another example. Since there also isn't a reputation system and this place operates kindof like an oldschool forum you can't rely on saying feel good things to try and win people over for upvotes or anything like that. You should at least learn how to speak to people here. Otherwise you should probably leave or else you're just going to doomscroll and tank your mental and emotional health. Resilience is a must have trait to socialize here because there are plenty of sociopathic basement goblins intermixed with the normal people. In general this website is much more pro free speech than the forums you're probably used to and your replies show that. Please act in a way that makes my effortpost worth the time I put into it.
P.S. the people here have a general disdain for pepe but like peepo, marv, and apu a lot. Choose your frogs carefully if you don't want to be insulted. Also rare frogs that aren't commonly seen are liked a lot too. I'll post one attached to this reply
>inb4 chuds tell me to an hero for helping the newbie
Thank you for the reply.
I understand how it works here and generally turn a blind eye to the more offensive/racist/homophobic comments and post on this board.
But this is the only board I use on this site because I take an interest in fitness. From what I know, this board is blue which means that some of the more extreme content is moderated. So I don’t expect to see gore when I browse this place and I think many others are in the same position. Isn’t it right that I should give them a quick heads up before they make the same mistake?
Look, I really appreciate the time you took to write that and I’m not paying any attention to the vile comments other members have sent me but I’m going to stand up for what I think is right.
Brother, it was pretty obvious what you were about to watch so shut the frick up cause it is only your fault

Lol. LMAO.
moron ego lifter. You should know how to throw the barbell off your back at the bottom too. At least this will make more dyels scared to squat LOL
Holy shit, his spotter caused his death.
The spotter trying to hold the weight up kept the weight from falling backward and meant the lifter had no room to fall backward with the bar where it would have fell down harmlessly without forcing his neck forward and breaking it.
If the spotter was not there he literally could have bailed and been fine but the spotter prevented him from bailing.
Never squat heavy with a spotter unless you have two on either side so you still have room to fall backwards.
yeah dude was moronic but he was unironically murdered by the "spotter"
The spotter had an underhand grip and it more looked like he was pulling it back towards him. I don't think he's at fault.
I don't think he could have bailed. That shit was too heavy for him
He could have just rolled the bar backwards with his hand i'm pretty sure.
try squatting in wraps like the guy there. i did it once and i failed my raw 1rm you have 0 control over it. you're like a fawn your legs lose so much balance because the wraps are too stiff. equipped powerlifting is a moronic sport
The fact that nobody. Noticed this tells me nobody lifts on fit. I never did squats yet I noticed he wad killed by his moronic spotter. Fricker kept the weight on his neck and I think he even made him lose his balance too.
Idiot fricktard should be stoned

Hold up this is a blue board
If naked dudes with a little emoji over their junk is fine, so is the webm. Or are you going to tell me looking at a naked dude with an emoji over his junk is sfw?
Hey I'm not a janny so it doesn't matter what I think
It seems like it would be better to spot from the front. Then if the squatter needs to bail, he can. Am I wrong on this?
I don't understand what the frick a spotter is supposed to do from the front or the back. Like, you're not gonna front raise 210 fricking kg and save the guy. Even from the sides, unless you got a couple of absolute units who can lift your plates strong man style, what are they gonna do except frick with your ability to move freely?
Push him backwards so he falls on the weight. He'll be hurting but he won't die
Let’s be real for a second
Most “spotters” never actually expect to spot. They just want to be in the mix, looking they’re doing something so they get some of the attention from the guy actually lifting.
When the shit hits the fan and it’s time to help, they end up killing the lifter.
Ego spotting is deadly.
Accurate. They don’t expect to do anything and they have no idea how to spot someone safely if something does go wrong. I’d also add the lifters typically have no idea how to work with a spotter. As other anons have pointed out it changes how you fail a lift.
Good spotters should be as strong as your are and paying close attention to your lift. So yes two side spotters for a 400lb squat should be able to stop the bar instantly and move it wherever necessary. 200 pounds is not that heavy for strong lifters in the right position.
He could've bailed the squat but didn't want to throw the barbell back because the squatter was there. So he did the next good move, put +180kg on your neck instead and hope it won't snap your vertebrae
Webms like this makes me scared to lift heavy. I just wanna reach 1/2/3/4 and then slowly increase, I'm too pussy to go beyond
>I just wanna reach 1/2/3/4
Why? You're not gonna win any prizes with lifting heavy and there's safer ways to build a good-looking physique
Cause that's minimum right? Like I keep hearing this is the intermediate step, and therefore, I should be able to do that at least. Right?
Why? Do you need IST's approval? The only approval you really need is from the man in the mirror who keeps looking better
It's not about IST's approval, I see that number as a goal. Like once I reach it I can say I lift without feeling like a poser. It's more of a self thing if anything
>It's more of a self thing if anything
Insecure cope. Why do you really want this?
Nope. Once you get it you'll feel good for a day at best then still think your DYEL and try pushing even more heavy shit and then hop on steroids or become a powershitter. Tale old as time. Stop giving a frick now and just lift loser. Nothing wrong with having goals but you need to keep your ego in check because its being bruised because you keep thinking "i'm not good enough" or "i'll be happy when (insert thing you want happens)"
Being happy now and being complacent are two different things.
go back to /lgbt/
Stop listening to morons on IST. If the dozens of "tfwnogf" threads werent enough to clue you in that the problems people have on this board are bigger than lifting heavy shit then idk what to tell you. This place is a crab bucket of insecure losers lacking in confidence, basic hygiene and refusal to go outside and improve social skills. Funny part is when they do finally get a good physique they still have the same problems as before because they refused to do the work to change their mindsets so they evolve into gymcels. And then some get hooked on steroids thinking it will be the magic bullet that solves everything and before you know it they finally get a gf and the mires they desperately wanted for validation but now their hormones are fricked for life, dick and balls have shrunk (they dont recover) starting to feel the effects of ED and they become extremely sad or angry for no reason. Has nothing to do with "muh 1/2/3/4" this place is filled with idiots who are fricked in the head
good post
>If the dozens of "tfwnogf" threads werent enough to clue you in that the problems people have on this board are bigger than lifting heavy shit then idk what to tell you
that's assuming not getting a gf is something you can't fail if you do everything right. 2/3s of young guys are effectively incels, only 1/3 of girls are not in relationships and that's only voluntarily
Not that anon but IST as mind broken me to think if I cannot lift that I'm an embarrassment. So going to get that and then focus on hypertrophy.
>IST as mind broken me
If you even acknowledge this, just snap out of it? Just do something else??
I can accept this logic for 2/3/4/5 and beyond but if you can't even hit 1/2/3/4 for one little rep each then you're probably not going to have a nice physique.
>1/2/3/4
>heavy
You weak, scared homosexuals need to go.
Oh no no no, nonono hahahaha
Just take the high rep pill
Yup
I hit 1/2/3/4 for reps and I literally ditched that shit the next day like it was hot garbage. Cardio, calisthenics and stuff like hill sprints and trail running are infinitely better and more fun in every single metric.
Just lift in a squat rack with safties
>why do men die younger?
that absolute unit can lift 200 kiles with his neck alone! what's his routine??
This was a low bar squat. He couldn't have ditched it because his ass was way behind him. Anons are saying high bar because of the depth but he only collapsed like that because he failed.
They’re saying high bar because of the bar being in the high position on his neck, thereby making it a high bar squat. If the bar was lower it would be a low bar squat. moron.
It was high bar
The bar is high on his traps but he's hip hinging like a low bar
I GET BY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS
FASTER
Dont fall for the supramaximal training meme, bros
This roided-up chink died squatting less than the ORM of many naturals. That… really puts things into perspective. The gym is where we go to live better but— ironically— you can’t make good gains unless there’s a strong possibility that you die or get hurt, or somebody else kills you. Every time you lift, you are fighting against Thanatos, ready to take another sacrifice for the gym. I will use this as motivation today and go for some big lifts.
>you can’t make good gains unless there’s a strong possibility that you die or get hurt, or somebody else kills you
powersharter cope
>death-by-spotter.webm
The back spotter really did kill him. Even if he did sit down and dump the bar forward like a moron if the spotter wasn't behind him bracing his body his core would have collapsed and his whole body fall forward with the hips shooting back far before his neck snapped. Also the immediate flexor posturing holy shit his spinal cord was fricked immediately.
In short don't squat with a back spotter, side spotters or just use safeties like a non moron.
You could tell he had no business lifting it just by how shaky his (assisted) walkout was.
I've spotted, and saved, much heavier squats like this and I'm practically DYEL. If you want to spot a squat from the back, you don't save it by grabbing the bar, that's fricking moronic, you get up close and personal behind them, like you're going to frick them up the ass (don't), give them a big bear hug around the chest, and squat the weight up with them. When done correctly (it's not hard), you can instantly lift at least 50% of your max squat weight for them, so unless the dude passes out you can both easily complete the (failed) lift together.
Hot take: The spotter and the lifter both knew this, but they wanted a better angle for the Instagram shot, since that's the focus for "influencer" lifters. Either way the spotter has some 'splaining to do.
I'd rather die brutally snapping my beck while squatting than have some homosexual hug me from behind
i don't spot because imagine you do that and the Black person dumps the bar back over you. it's so fricking moronic so many ways to snap your shit up for no reason. just put the safeties where they belong
Fricking this.
>hey bro imma jump off this bridge, hold my hand
No but go right ahead
you forgot to mention that you're supposed to insert your erect penis into his behind so you're properly locked together like a trailer on a truck. the male member can lift up to 10% of your max squad, too so you increase your potential assist from 50% to 60%.
t. spotter
>(it's not hard)
oh, but i am
>give them a big bear hug around the chest
good way to pop someone's eyes out if they're lifting 200+ kg or alternatively have the bar roll directly into your own neck and snapping it in half too.
the only way you can safely spot someone's squat from the back, when they are effectively not using a rack or safeties, is to transition into a front squat yourself, and that isn't possible to do at 200+ kg when the inertia of the bar alone is going to snap your shit if you get in its way.
wtf Black person, what was the spotter even doing?
ALWAYS
USE
SAFETIES

>Vicky attempted to squat 180-kg
it's clearly 210kg
why they gotta do him dirty like that
This will never happen to you if you never go for one rep maxes.
If you just do three sets of 5 or heavy triples and increase the weight bit by bit this will never happen unless someone pushes you while you're squatting or you get very unlucky with an aneurysm/stroke in the middle of the lift.
That mindset is b***h. I've dumped 1rm squats plenty of times. Gotta use safeties if you're getting near your maximal load.
Holy frick
>sits down
>spine bent forward
>neck reaches end of forward flexion
>bar still on it
>230kg of shear force on neck snaps it
Basically the same thing as happened to that stupid woman who squatted in a smith machine over a bench, in this case it was the floor not a bench but same deal
Safeties would have saved him, or not having a spotter behind and dumping the bar off his back
>doesn’t know how to throw the barbell off his back at the bottom of a failed atg squat.
Ngmi
He couldn't do that because his "spotter" was pushing the weight forward, preventing him from letting the weight roll off his back
Kek this is why i never even needed spotters when back squatting. I’ve attempt a lot of 1rms and failed a lot of them. I do very Olympic style high bar back squat too, and if you want training videos online you’ll see how they do no no no squats , meaning no belt no wraps no spotters. You simply dump the weight off your back if you fail the squat. This spotter actually may have killed the guy.
He doesn’t, I do, and I squat 4pl for reps (alone, in my cage, with safeties, A2G) what about you?
I squat 3.5 pl8. Granted I’m pretty light at around 160 so very happy with my double bw squat.
>https://fitnessvolt.com/bodybuilder-dies-gruesome-gym-blunder/
I am in absolute joy seeing powershitters and other squatshitters advocating this dogshit movement
Not even a powershitter, but there's nothing wrong with squats. Everyone in this video was just moronic.
Back squat is actually king for overall body strength. Dude I’m the video was already hip hinging the squat hard and didn’t bail correctly. Also a moron ego lifter.
>overall body strength
no one cares, if you ever are in a situation where you need to lift a fricking log that fell on your back or whatever it's already game over for you
if I want joocy legs I can just roon or cycle and at least I get aerobic gains that guarantee an increased life-span
nope, let's meme a back snapper because big number go up, courtesy of the thousands of roidshitters fooling everyone
every day and every hour around the world, some idiot gets memed to break his back FOR FREE, when one of the biggest quality of life killers for an adult is chronic back pain
No pain no gain, pussy.
You might as well never step into a car either then LOL
Another victim of the MUH SPOTTERS meme. Use safeties. This goes for every lift (where it makes sense). No, having some sweaty moron standing with his nuts over your face isn't better than just arching properly and benching in a rack with safeties. If a spotter wants to help with the unrack OK but if I'm going to fail just let me lower it onto the pins. Doing a heavy squat with some person dry humping you as a form of "safety" is the dumbest shit imaginable. What are they going to do if you actually fail the rep? As we can see here, nothing at all. They're just going to throw you off balance and make you really fail the rep while preventing you from dumping the weight off your back. The spotter literally got this man killed by holding the bar and trapping it on his neck instead of letting him drop it. I've failed loads of squats in a rack with heavier weight than what got this guy killed and I've had zero issues. If you're doing a full powersharter setup with three or more people acting as spotters OK that can work but if you think one incompetent person humping your back is going to save you on a heavy squat fail you're playing with your life.
yeah i only bench and squat with safeties. it's a peace of mind. i've seen "elite" lifters tear their shit up or die because it doesn't look cool or whatever to use safeties
>that sheet metal rack
didn't the safeties snap in that webm? at least one of them
because of acceleration
He got away lucky, this was moronic too. Why are the safeties 5 pins below his lowest squat point?

>Ahahahahhahah frick high bar. Also frick no squatting in the cage with safeties.
"No matter how confident you may feel lifting on your own, it’s always a smart idea to have a spotter assist you when lifting heavy. "
Fricking horseshit. I've NEVER seen a spotter do anything useful on a failed squat. What you need and all you need are some version of safety bars. Bars, not pins.
I conquer anon.
Why is everyone acting like it's funkytown or something
Haven't you all seen the videos of people getting crushed on the smith machine before?
Some of us watching a man literally die in front of his children quite shocking.
Not everyone happens to be a desensitised chud.
I get that but I've seen worse posted here and anons don't normally react that much
Probably because in this instance he’s not doing anything overly stupid. Unlike the smith machine woman.
We can all see ourselves in this situation. Roll the bar the wrong way and that’s it. Curtains.
Like the rock through the windshield video, sometimes in not the gore that’s shocking but the relatable situation.
Squatting 450+ lbs without side spotters and no safety rails is stupider than using the leg press? Post body.
Not using safeties is the same to me as using a sneed machine
Tell us more about how new you are. All oldgays on IST are desensitized
Imagine taking this amount of pride in browsing fricking IST for years.
Post body b***h.
>Imagine taking this amount of pride in browsing fricking IST for years.
Not OP but if there's a single alternative forum for general uncensored banter, for the love of fricking God let me know.
There are plenty of other chans to choose from. The discussions are marginally better quality but they move much slower
>There are plenty of other chans to choose from. The discussions are marginally better quality but they move much slower
Well then I rest my case. The old Fricked Company boards and associated spin-offs were the G.O.A.T. anon forums. There's at least one still limping along but they ran their course many years ago.
R.I.P. Pud & Spanky & Chinky Owner
It's pretty tame, not even the same ballpark as shit like shoveldog
I've been here since '08 and that vid made me cringe hard. I am desensitized compared to a normal person though.
No you weren't.
I've been here since sometime after gg and found it painful to watch. I have never even heard of shit like this happening to someone.
For me, it's the neck snap. You can literally see it SNA-AP as the bar pushes the vertebrae, if you've lifted heavy once in your life, you know the feeling of when shit is about to snap any moment now. Frick me...
>being desensitized to death and gore is... le macho!
You're only impressing fellow manchildren who stalled at the mental age of 14.
it's because you can relate to the way he died. that's why they're squeemish
>Some of us watching a man literally die in front of his children quite shocking.
Why are you here? Go back, Black person.
What on earth are you doing here?
Ouchie
>no safety of any kind

>bar starts on his neck
>handsy spotter who thinks he can curl 3.5pl8s
>spotter pushed the bar forward and prevented him from escaping the lift
>handsy spotter who thinks he can curl 3.5pl8s
kek it's worse than that. It's more than 4.5 plates.
180kg=397lbs. Just shy of 4 freedom plates
The red ones are 25 kg right?
If the article is to be believed it’s 180kg, but you’re right that it looks like the reds are 25kg each. They could be mistaken and it’s actually 210kg
High bar is safer
Clearly frick not for the dipshit who
Got his head folded off.
>Can barely unrack the weight
>Cannot set up properly
>Cannot walk backwards with the weight
>Never looked stable
>Spotter has hands all over him
Pure moronic ego lifting, he probably never trained squats in any real capacity.
I high bar pause squatted 210kg last year without issue.
rate his form on this one
That looks painful. If you good morning the high bar squat it's probably too heavy.
More ego lifting.
Struggling to unrack which should be piss easy
Shaking when standing
Doesn't allow the weight to settle before descending
Shaking on the way down
Never looks comfortable and in control.
Safeties too low. It takes ten seconds to test whether or not the safeties are at a good height and then you never need to do it again on that rack if you remember your setup. Furthermore, if you're in a full rack why not just use real safeties instead of those dog shit mini half ones that he was about to miss? What the frick were these people thinking?
This is unironically not that bad for a one rep max attempt. If he hadn’t accidentally killed himself at a later time, nobody would be super critical. Could’ve given himself a moment to prepare for the descent, a slower and more controlled descent would’ve been better, and some forward leaning on the ascent but the speed was good, even out of the hole. All in all, not dangerous and probably would’ve passed in a meet. Just ugly.
Lol
Dumbbell squatter guy from a few posts before redeemed
deserve for not using safeties tbqhfam
>don't bother with safeties
>get figuratively decapitated
I WONDER HOW COULD HE HAVE PREVENTED THIS
Never have a back spotter when you squat. If you don’t have the weight just toss it off your back as you go down. The spotter is responsible for this death
Realistically there's no way the spotter could've helped him even if he was God tier right? There's no way to redirect all that mass from the back or front. You're just in the way.
>Realistically there's no way the spotter could've helped him even if he was God tier right?
the spotter kept pushing the weight forward to the neck, he pretty much murdered him
Tom Haviland could.
Really gives me a new perspective on the people on here who say I have to squat high bar
>squat press
What the frick? You mean push press? Jerk? Snatch? Trap bar overhead squat?
No, just a regular squat with 18 spotters that don't know what they're doing when regular safeties would have been more effective and not get in the way of the camera shot. The moron could have just dropped the weight behind him if those guys weren't in the way. High bar is much safer and more natural than low bar, it really takes effort to frick it up like that.
i saw the webm, but didn't watch the video with sound, i'm scare, can you hear the snap?
nah i can't hear anything at all
Yea you can
WHY even have a spotter if he's just going to put you into a position where you're forced to break your own neck.
>dat internal decapitation
buddy in the back kinda fricked him, should have ripped by bar backward as he failed instead of letting it stay on the head side of his traps.
i'm kissing my safties when i get home tonight
>Watch: Bodybuilder Suffers Death After Snapping Neck Attempting Massive Squat
>Watch
imagine your death being broadcasted for all the world to view in some obscure fitness forum (talking about fitnessvolt, not IST
I wonder wether it got him more followers.
that's probably the dream for the influencer class. Stockton Rush gives me the same vibes
>professional ISTizen
>stapled TO DEATH by less than 4pl8
holy lmao
That was almost 5pl8's, 210kg
>he didn't listen to Scooby

-press
What the actual frick
Before people post what its supposed to be
No, it's not a real lift. He should have just trained log and push press instead of whatever the frick he was doing
I assume his arm buckled about 3/4 to arm lockout and he dropped it on his skull
Watch the video, was just a squat
Vaxx status??
>do deadlift
>still alive
why isn't it working IST?
Looks like another one for the list
You can add 20yo zoomer girlfriend to his list of achievements
fr, the fat shit can't stop winning
>JUSTyn
Meanwhile me squatting two plates with no spotter so I can bail. My legs might be small but at least I'm alive.
No way I'm watching this shit. thank you for your service and reactions, anons
It's not that bad, his neck just goes forward as if he was looking down
No safeties squatting, i just dont get it. Would still be alive
Squat-press
execution by tired-squat
I feel sick
To me, he seemed just a little too exhausted to be lifting and that's a terrible price to pay.
This is why doing sled for lower body is ideal. So you went to failure on a sled. What’s the risk? It just stops moving.
>asian roided manlet decapitates itself squatting 210kg
ooof
Imagine how many people have died doing OHP. The bar is in the position at the top that can kill you. Any slight frick up and that bar will drop right on the top of your head. It’s really insane how dangerous lifting can be. Many people just look at bench, but really so much is insanely dangerous that it resembles Chinese factory accidents.
zercher squats win again
unfortunate situation tho, RIP
Vaxx claims another moron.
that dude had it coming, you cant highbar squat when your upper back is all rounded, if your upper body cant hold the weight you are about to squat, just lower the weight and leave your ego at home
why is a twink doing 1RM? If not his neck he would have torn both quadriceps right off the bone eventually.
Kek imagine dying under 210kg
Pathetic
aren't you a raw powerlifter? why use wraps?
It's suit + wraps (it's also the wrong one, I was looking for the one where I fall over)
I do both raw and equipped.
How do you prevent your elbows from hurting when they're that far forward? Is it just a matter of flexibility?
Wrist wraps lad, get yourself a pair. 60cm minimum.
Impressive lifting but honest question, why do you wear the chud glasses? They look like shit on everyone
>needs full gear while calling others pathetic
Maybe you should also wear goggles to catch your eyes once they inevitably pop out
>B*lt
You didn't squat it.
based bloatlord, teach those chink manlets a lesson
Powerlifting. Not even once.
Now try ass to grass and without your gay jumpsuit
not even close to depth
bro you look like the chud meme. no amount of lifting can fix that.
I was once almost killed by face pulls. Don't trust Athlean-X guys!
Think! Why does his name sound like a supervillain's?
He is a literal Gainz Goblin wearing a skin suit.
dude literally just
Why is grizzly such a moron bros? that's not a squat
But did he die?
USE
SAFETIES
dumbbell chads win again
I always squat with safeties, but just for me to feel better. How do you drop weight from a squat? I feel like I can't drop it behind me without breaking my wrists however I've never tried it
clicked on the thumbnail because i thought it was a chinese women in a green t-shirt with big jugs :<
>those legs
SS claims another one
I don’t get it, if it’s that heavy and your stuck in the middle, just go back to the atg bottom and dump the weight. This guy lacked the flexibility/form to go all the way down in order to dump it properly.
whats going on , usually we'd see a roidtroony die every 3 months, now they're dropping like flies.
