My bench continues to be wimpy at 210lb. I was hoping it had gone up from 205 to 215 at least.

Here's me deadlifting 424lbs. It's not much in terms of like, bodyweight ratio (I'm 290 lbs) but it's within a pound of my lifetime PR (I got 425 once in high school). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WD4hpUeriJU My favorite wrestler is CM Punk. His entrance music coming on right as I was going for my third attempt is completely coincidental. But also I think probably helped me make the lift.

After a quick google, confirmed it was at the end of a whole powerlifting meet that you came within 1 pound of your DL PB You can certainly deadlift more than that, at this very moment

Budding fitness influencer “Justyn Vicky” died recently while doing a failed squat, of 460lbs. I just saw the video somewhere and uhhh, yikes, I didn’t know THAT could happen. “internal decapitation” is how the news described it. Even had a spotter behind, who honestly didn’t/couldn’t do jack poo poo once Justyn failed. So uhhh, yeah, I guess be careful? Edit: mild video describing the news, the actual clip is quite cursed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26QJKx_IUCg Comfy Fleece Sweater fucked around with this message at 16:28 on Jul 23, 2023 |

Hafþór Björnsson had a near-catastrophic miss when re-racking a huge squat, and it was only the fact that he had something like 4 spotters that saved him. (Of course, then he suffered the pec injury later when going for a powerlift world record.) The lesson here is to have safety arms or bars and set them properly so that you can ditch or fail safely.

Literally everything went wrong in the video. From the spotter not knowing how to spot to not using the spotter arms you see in his other videos to both falling backwards and pitching forward with a super high near on the neck bar position. It's weird not only did he use a high bar position he was looking down and unracked with a pretty forward torso angle.

Mustached Demon posted:Power cages aren't too expensive. One of the downsides of so many gyms getting those Rogue Fitness Monster Rigs (and their ilk) is that power cages have gotten a lot more rare. And while safety arms work just fine, safety bars in power cages have the advantage of (usually) always staying on the rack. In the gym I go to, the safety arms are stashed off in the corner and you have to go find them and attach them before your squats. Sadly, this means I'm one of the few people in my gym who actually bothers to do that.

What actually happened? The video above wasn't super clear describing it and there's no chance in hell I'm watching the actual video. I've heard of professional wrestlers have internal decapitations from years of being dropped on their heads weakening their spine.

He unracked took a step and lost his balance. Fell backwards but also doubled over rolling the bar up his neck on to the back of his head just as he hit the ground. Pretty much would have ripped it off if not for his neck skin stretching. edit: He looked super shaky too. I read he's done the lift before but he didn't look like he could have even have finished the rep from the walk out. Guyver fucked around with this message at 18:50 on Jul 23, 2023 |

He was hit by a van trying to escape the cops. Which was pointless because he was wearing an ankle tag. (I called it atlantooccipital dislocation though because I am cool.)

The first article I saw read "squat presses" so I assumed he was doing squat jerks or something with a very respectable amount of weight and dropped it on his neck. Reality is always dumber.

It's survivable but 70% of victims die before even making it to a trauma center. My wife has seen it once at her hospital, guy survived.

I squat at home, in my power rack, with safeties. I was actually just thinking about setting up safety straps from the top of the cage too. Probably insane and unnecessary to have two sets of safeties. But also, insane to die from squatting.

You can if you want but what happened was some final destination poo poo where everything had to fail in just the right way. If any one thing didn't happen he wouldn't have died.

Seeing that video makes me wonder how close I was to a similar outcome. The crash that shattered my C4 also dislocated it but only like 5-10 mm rather than the like 3” that it appeared to be on that guy.

Also his spotter was a huge loving moron and if you check his Instagram, despite being a "coach" he can't spot the squat at all. Apparently the coach owns the gym and has taught everyone there to spot incorrectly. Don't loving spot if you don't know how or feel uncomfortable with the weight.

I can't imagine not just lifting in the nude, to be honest. The tightness should come from the pump you feel after a heavy set.

I don't say poo poo like that, but whenever the program I'm doing calls for overhead press, I remember the Goon whose friend came over and overhead pressed more by "cheating" (lowering the bar a little bit before pressing upwards). Always gets a good laugh out of me.
