In the video it looked like he was too far back to drop on those safeties but either way all he had to do was fall forward instead of trying to roll it off his head.
Safeties wouldn't have saved him. Nothing could have saved him from his own moronation.

He has safeties on with a 365lb squat. They were too low and he was struggling with it. Mf died on a 465lb squat with no safeties and a shitty spotter. You're right if he had safeties he would have died, but only because he doesn't know how to properly use them. They were too low.

He didn't even try to lower the bar to the safeties. He tried to bail by ducking his head under the bar mid-rep like an oly lifter.

THERE WERE NO SAFETIES SET UP WHEN HE DIED YOU FRICKING IDIOT
Yes, he couldn't dump the bar with the spotter there
A behind the back spotter is completely pointless >stops you dumping the bar >can't actually lift the bar from there >isn't going to help you walk it in
Safeties or no safeties and dump it
Never ever let some fricking moron stand behind you when lifting heavy weights
This also applies to bench, where a spotter can frick you up if he prematurely pulls the bar over your face before it's locked out (where you can't support it and he can't hold it, so it crushes your throat / face)
It's amazing how infrequently this shit happens honestly, when you lift heavy you are literally risking your life regularly, it's not a joke

Wouldn't a behind-the-back spotter's only choice and responsibility is to yoink the bar BACKWARDS as hard as possible to actually make it slide off?
I mean as long as the bar can travel without you being under you're relatively safe

The lifter has to be the one to do that, you need to free your hands first. If the spotter yoinks the bar best case scenario he'll snap the other guy's shoulders, worst case scenario is death.

Idk this guy's background but I blame this partially on people getting into lifting without coaching. In handegg we had a weightlifting class every day from 6th grade onwards and for like the first year it was just drilling everyone how to not do moronic shit that would would someone killed (or rather get the coach fired).
You know what's fricking stupid? Spotters. Frick that idiotic bro technology. You workout alone, with safeties and that's it. You don't fricking stand behind someone for squats, if you want you put two people on the sides. Not mouthbreathers preferably.
Damn this shit made me pissed off.
It gets better every time. The pan out. The trembling as his coach helps him unrack. The uncontrolled descent. The struggle. The ACK. The aftermath. Beautiful
Can I just say that a man has literally died and it’s pretty disgusting to keep seeing these threads popping up effectively mocking him for something that could have happened to any of us?
Can’t we be a bit more respectful? Look, I know this is IST and edgyness is the brand but some of the comments about this guy have been seriously disrespectful and it puts me off browsing here.
Some empathy and sympathy for this tragic event wouldnt go amiss.
Welcome to the internet where people get mocked when they die. That's not just on edgy IST.
This guy is described as a "fitness influencer" whom most us hate because those types all roid while pretending to be natty for their followers. If anything his death is the one thing he gave to the world and will teach his followers to be a little careful out there.

>something that could have happened to any of us
The average ISTizen has seen enough snap city videos to know to use the fricking safeties and not ego lift.
Seriously, is that guy gonna be held accountable, is nobody else watching the same video? Like what the frick. Guy is literally pushing the barbell back onto him instead of letting it roll off his back.
You can’t single spot a squat you fricking dyel morons
Is he gonna curl the bar up? Shove his dick in his ass whole he pushes up on his armpits? You have never spotted a heavy ass squat in your life. The spotter being there or not is irrelevant. Also the spotter was his dad
If you get dick to booty (gay) and hook your arms around the chest you can get some decent leverage but yeah on a max it is not going to do a whole lot. Also you basically have to be in that position before the lift starts which negates the entire purpose of the max because you don't know when there was help on the lift or not.
Usually, the spotter will grab the spotee by the pecs and help him get his chest up, something that might have saved him if he didn't let him go back into the hole. If even with that help the lifter can't get it up he can bail out AWAY from the spotter and let the bar roll over his back into the spotter's elbows (like Bloatlord doing Zercher shrugs) which will hurt but is a pretty strong position and shouldn't rekt the spotter even if it looks like it might.
The problem with spotting a squat is that you have to go full homo. You need to press your wiener against their ass and hold their chest up. People aren't IST enough to squat their friends.
We are finally reaching the point of narcissism at which it finally starts having negative reproductive outcomes even despite the extremely safe modern society we have created. Turns out, this is the upper limit the human psyche can withstand before darwinism takes over again.
Fricking hate how morons get caught up in the fact that articles say squat press. There’s literally a picture of him performing a squat and some mount breather will still comment “uhhh what’s a squat press” then proceed to jerk off about how not miss don’t know fitness
It doesn't matter. Normies aren't used to it. They're sickened by the idea. Finding out was a culture shock for me. The first time I thought the other guy was just a gay, but it's just how normies are.
Normies do it too but they're rarely internet savvy enough to bypass globohomosexual censorship.
True crime is the biggest genre with white women and i guarantee they look up the gore pics.
>Try to squat something way over your strength level
>Die
It was obvious from the walkout alone that he wasn't going to squat that. Just shows how moronic personal trainers can be
>muh safeties
i don't understand what point you're trying to make
How'd he die if had safeties lol
More likely the dude's faking being dead for insurance.
In the video it looked like he was too far back to drop on those safeties but either way all he had to do was fall forward instead of trying to roll it off his head.
New or trolling? That's not the squat that killed him

Fair enough. The frick are the point in safeties that don't reach the other end of the rack?
moronic.
oic, bit weird to use a pic from a different squat vid to advertise his death
That picture is not from his death video
Oh shit. Actually looks like the spotter killed him from preventing the barbell falling backward no?
>zero safeties in place
moronic.
his weak back prevented the barbell falling backward
>his weak back
Don't see how that's the issue unless he jumped up to too high of a weight. You know what he was usually squatting?
If you watch the video of the 365lb squat he could barely do it. This guy was an ego lifting moron who tried 465lb. Nothing could have saved him
Yes, the spotter killed him.
But he shouldn’t have been squatting in that set up to begin with
the spotter is his coach btw
Sauce?

You absolute son of a b***h, got me laughing at barbell Icirus
Christ. Spotter will have to live with that on his mind forever. What a frick up
LET HIM DROP THE WEIGHT BEHIND HIM FRICK OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Some people are just too stupid to live.

Was he lifting in a restaurant?

Scooby made a video about this and said the exact same thing, only gay and on steroids
I agree dude
It's weird how gyms rarely have safeties and expect you to have a spotter
Wtf is up with that shit
Safeties are mandatory
Thats not how you do it as a single spotter. Put your arms around his chest and hoist him up, frick.
>At my work gym
>Notice Coworker go over to squat rack
>Lowers the safetys to the ground
>Loads up two 35's each side
>Starts doing half squats
What is this mentality in people?
They think safeties are to prevent the bar for hitting the ground..
It gets better every time. The pan out. The trembling as his coach helps him unrack. The uncontrolled descent. The struggle. The ACK. The aftermath. Beautiful
Barbell squats are such a fricking meme.
That's not the squat that killed him, he wasn't using them when he died.
HE HAS WRAPPED KNEES,
HE WASNT READY FOR 210KG,
HE SHOULD HAVE STAYED AT 180KG WHERE HE ROUGHLY WOULD HAVE BEEN AT

What are the macros of this pasta?
65% fat
25% simp carbs
10% phytoestrogenic protein
>something that could have happened to any of us?
Nope because I don't egolift and I know how to drop the bar on a failed rep.
>could have happened to any of us?
lmao what
I've been lifting for 12 years and never came close to hurting myself seriously.
>very very disrespectful
Konnichiwa dude!
kek nice bait

>Shove his dick in his ass whole he pushes up on his armpits
It's called "emergency squat plug"
He’s sucking that big BBC in the sky now.
F
Spotting a squat is fricking gay, just drop the bar it's not that hard
He was 33, it was time to be put out to pasture anyway
We are finally reaching the point of narcissism at which it finally starts having negative reproductive outcomes even despite the extremely safe modern society we have created. Turns out, this is the upper limit the human psyche can withstand before darwinism takes over again.
Or maybe, just hear me out guys…. Don’t try to lift 500 pounds like some roided up monkey and you won’t end up dead ?? Just a thought tho

I'd like to remind you people that looking at rekt videos is NOT normal. Don't reveal your powerlevel.
>literally always contemplating watching them
>end up watching them anyway
i try to avoid most of it, unless its like really headline news
the most haunting one is that guy approaching another guy with a knife in like a mall, one quick slice/stab in the neck and he just falls over
scary stuff
There isn't any gore and it is very informative about which mistakes to avoid.
only thing i learned is to never squat
What do you do instead?
Live

Why spell Justin with a y? That's just horrible parenting.
You really shouldn't spot squats. Use safeties & bail it back at last resort.
