For those curious, a more detailed explanation for why the Valsalva maneuver can be dangerous when held for too long: One of the larger contributing factors to the huge drop-off in both heart rate and blood pressure is that when you brace the air in your trachea, your epiglottis in your throat pushes some of the pressure out onto your vagus nerve that descends just along the sides of your neck. The pressure from the air, coupled with the tension in the muscles of the neck, stimulates the nerve and causes it to decrease your heart rate (as it would normally do otherwise). This, on top of your muscles soaking up so much blood, can lead to the light-headedness that many of us have come to be wary of.
yep...and you squish your inferior vena cava and right atrium from all that internal pressure, reducing venous return, which further reduces cardiac output. When you add that on top of the vagal stimulation you mentioned- which slows down the rate rate - this significantly impairs the heart’s ability’s to compensate for the smaller volume of blood it is working with. So cardiac output goes waaaay down, and boom: blackout. It’s not due to carotid compression, as some say (it’s probably most common in max deadlift attempts) 👍🏼🤓
@@5hydroxyT I always take a knee after a hard set of deadlifts 'cause I've seen so many people take a faceplant instead! Used to get lightheaded now and then, hasn't happened since. So much junk, racks, weights etc. around the floor of many gyms, I'm amazed more people don't suffer serious injuries.
@@5hydroxyT Increasing intrathoracic pressure definitely decreases venous return (and therefore cardiac output) through the mechanism you describe. But the vagal stimulation isn’t caused by air (or anything else) pushing on the vagus directly as in the explanation Zack posted, it’s caused by the increased pressure in the carotid artery/sinus (which is actually innervated by the glossopharyngeal nerve, with the vagus being the efferent limb of the reflex) which is caused by the increased intrathoracic pressure. So it’s true that in weight lifters this isn’t caused by direct compression of carotid, it’s caused by increased thoracic pressure. BUT it can be caused by direct pressure on the carotid too, since the nerve doesn’t know the difference between a high arterial pressure vs someone karate chopping the carotid sinus. This is why carotid sinus massage used to be taught as a first line vagal maneuver for people with certain types of tachycardias, but while it’s still used in some cases we’ve mostly moved away from it in favor of Valsalva, since rubbing the sinus can dislodge plaques and cause stroke.
@@seal869 thanks for the clarification on that one! so stimulation of the vagus happens via the carotid sinus. i still feel (not sure exactly) that it’s unlikely someone could put direct pressure on their carotid arteries with a barbell - anatomically i think you would crush your trachea first which would be a slightly bigger problem...😮
Super useful! I started doing some simple weightlifting movements as supplements to my normal strength training thanks to Zack, now if it ever goes wrong I'll know what to do
Figured someone else would spot this as well. Had she been barefoot or wearing nearly any sort of shoe she probably wouldn't have ended up on her back.
Exactly dude commenting doesn't even know what the lift is, axle lift. Gabby Wichmans a beast. Previous NZ strongest woman champion and now at City Kickboxing since last year for MMA. She'd beat this guys ass lifting or fighting any day of the week
@@jayel7308 First of all Zaxk knows what the lift is, he literally says this particular lift is garbage and should be changed. Second of all, athletes have coaches for a reason: they are not perfect and need help with knowledge, technique, training, etc... Do you go telling every coach to stop talking because they are worse than the athletes?
Thank god you talked about the possibility of breaking both arms cleaning with straps. I clean with straps sometimes and never once thought how a fail may absolutely annihilate my fore arms. I will never clean with straps ever again after watching this.
Zack talked about it in another video, if using strap for any weightlifting movement where you need to bail only wrap the strap once around the bar and outwards, not back through the hand hole. So when you need to bail the strap will slip off and not get caught on itself.
@@ljaki23 Honestly straps for anything outside deadlifting seems insane. The risk may be lower if your technique is good and you do the straps the right way, but its' never zero. You could so easily rip your shoulder out of your socket and be done weightlifting for the rest of your life.
Love your work Zack, thank you. The first lifter is not experiencing a vasovagal syncope, but rather a syncope from a coup/contrecoup injury to the brain. Basically his head got whipped up rapidly which caused his brain to hit his skull, which overstimulated it and caused a temporary paralysis. Glad he's okay.
Ain't the point in half of the strongman events to be weird and goofy? Bro I loved this video. Us non weightlifting plebs don't know about all the funny things that happen when you fail your lifts.
Like how Zack was chill for almost the whole video but then at the last two fails just got frustrated at the end and was like 😡😡 PUSH THE BAR AWAY FROM YOU!!! LOVE IT man keep educating people. Lifting is very fun but can destroy your body too if you don't know what your doing.
Yeah it looked like a few were Powerlifters playing around with Olympic snatches/ cleans, they have the strength but not the mobility. Most of the decent weightlifters I've seen at the gym spend half their training session practicing form and flexibility. They look like their color guards for 30 minutes, then bam they pile on the kilos.
Thank you for the straps on cleans commentary, for some reason it seems to be encouraged by high school and university strength coaches with minimal technique work. Risk does not seem to equal reward in that setting
its usually fine if you your just power cleaning or doing lighter weights for full cleans to help improve mobility but ya max cleans that may lead to failure shouldnt be done with straps
Very entertaining, but the approach is respectful unlike most "fail videos'. Also, this video is long due. Some of these I had to learn the hard way, taking uppercuts to the chin from a bar))
Not lifting with an ego would’ve saved the lot of these folks. A couple are honest mistakes but too many people end up lifting for the cam instead of themselves.
I'm not sure where I come down on "strong man" - for me right now it's too much of a risk unless the weight is really light, but like weight lifting in general I'm sure it's fine with proper technique, programming and discipline (which probably means working with good coach or trainer). The axel lift is an odd thing - but strong man is all about lifting odd or "ordinary" objects (as opposed to olympic bars) which isn't in itself a bad thing. I think Alan Thrall sets a great example of how to approach strong man in general.
Dude at 6:00 was smiling after he hit the ground. I'd almost say it was more of a spectacular missed lift than true fail. Part of the problem with the woman doing the continental clean was she was shoeless. She had crap for traction, and she needed decent traction. Muscle snatch guy just needs to drop the freaking bar.
Great video. The log press one hit a little close to home. The garage I lift in is me organized better but the rack is right behind the open area for deadlifting, overhead pressing, etc. I do mainly strength training and hypertrophy though the main three lifts plus overhead with log press and viking press, but have been thinking about starting to learn weightlifting in the near future. Mostly for banking the information for future changes in programming. I just don't know the cues or bail outs currently. Instructional and entertaining presentation.
The girl at 7:40 is doing the continental grip. Is used in some strongman exercises which require to use an axle (a very thick barbell) to up the weight overhead. Since the axle doesn't let you to propperly hook grip, the only way to up a heavy weigh with it is using inverted grip and rolling the shaft over your arched torso and then push press the barbell (or strict push based on the strength available). Is not a mistake (albeit she loses balance), is the way is meant to be done. You wouldn't be able to clean an axle bar with a heavy weigth.
I notice the experienced weightlifter who sits on the bar never looks panicked or disoriented, even when he screws up, his level of concern never gets above "oops!", and he effectively breaks his fall. You can see the experience.
I think an overlooked fact is the importance of proper footwear and the risk of doing overhead lifts in socks which I think is the real cause of the fail with the lady doing the axelbar press.
Bearing down causes the vagal response. Bearing down to move your bowels, lifting heavy or even coughing hard can cause it. It can actually be helpful first aid to do it on purpose if someone is experiencing an abnormally elevated heart rate. Of course medical attention is still required even if a vagal maneuver works.
The phenomenon you describe in the first clip is called “vasovagal syncope.” It’s one reason the massive, slow deadlifts are so impressive. Because they’re slow, the lifter is fighting physiology to stay conscious long enough to get a green light. It’s absolute f$cking insanity that people can do it.
The first video: people get knocked out by the jaw is not because of a nerv. The jaw acts as a lever, and the head is fixed by the spine. The jaw acts as a lever, accelerets the skulls motion, and the brain smashed on the back/side of the skull, and even bounces back and forth.
The bottom position of my squat is absolutely the most stable position. If I’m going to dump a rep, I usually sit in the hole for a few seconds before letting go.
With the (highbar) squat advice to drop the weight, i allways imagined a cartoon style frog, you push him downwards on the top of his head towards his butt/hips, then when you let go he SPRINGS diagnoly forward, thats how my highbar drops have allways felt lol
7:20 That's a screwed-up version of a "Continental". Old-time lifters had belts w/huge buckles to catch the bar. Squatting to under the bar made the C&J the lift of choice..
Zack, I like and use your chin up, looking down the nose cue for the jerk. I would add pushing your shoulders up into the barbell as it releases some pressure off the carotid artery. There is a good explanation of this from a very successful American weightlifting coach who used to have a club in CA but now runs his team out of his garage in OR.
07:45 yeah, continental cleans are in a lot of strongman comps. got one coming up in july that has axle clean&press for reps. she put the bar way too low on her torso, so it was kinda doomed from there
I’ve just been learning weightlifting since April, after seeing this I’ve decided to take up knitting instead as it’s safer , woolly sweater anyone?! Actually I have a good coach, I’m learning with sensible weights and leave my ego at home when I go to train so hopefully I never have accidents like these!
I had a situation exactly like 4:00, i couldnt drop back, i had so much mobility that i managed to bend forward in the hole and i escaped (around 130 kg)
@@MickyMs looking at it closer looks like he probably just bruised it. Ive hit my leg before dropping jerks from overhead it definitely hurts and can be dangerous. But i think it looks like he didnt seriously snap anything at least.
Just like in gymnastics they should teach you to break your fall or bail a lift in this case. People put themselves in so much unnessecary danger and blame it on weightlifting being a dangerous sport.
A good number of these seem to be made significantly worse or more dangerous by using the wrong equipment or workspace. There's a reason the pros use blocks and not a cage rack - so if you lose the weight it just falls away from you and doesn't slam into a rack that pushes it right back onto you (like 11:30). And those poor pots at 13:20 were clearly in the line of fire before she even set up. If the bar isn't going up, where is it going to go? A pretty basic question to ask before you start.
@@milosmilinkov1689 idk what rack your using or your really short but every rack ive ever used can handle my depth just fine and im only 5'8" tall. even my friend whos 4 inches shorter can bottom outher squat and not hit the safety bars lol.

I can confirm the danger of fucking up a clean with straps on. Torn ligaments in the wrist and hand with a 6 month recovery .
After a heavy deadlift I ALWAYS crouch down right after if I feel any lightheadedness to avoid falling over
Its still risky tho.. best to have someone close by to catch you if you pass.out immediately
I lay on the floor at the slightest dizziness
Thank you! Such useful tips for preventing disaster. Should be essential viewing for all lifters.
