@2A 4life yes, all steroids. Not hard work, not resilience, not hours upon hours of training. Just steroids. You heard it here first folks, a lifter is only as good as their steroids
I don’t know if this guy is stupid or tough or both , I definitely respect him for still lifting , my back has been broken for many years with disc degeneration and a 45 degree scoliosis , numbness in the lower extremities and the whole 9 , I would never attempt to do what this guy is continuing to do , but with no specifics on what the surgeon did to repair his spine it’s hard for me to say if his continuation of weight lifting is the smartest thing to do . 99% of the time serious damage to the spine is irreversible . I do believe some sort exercise is important to maintain range of motion but in my opinion as we get older lifting that kinda of weight can cause more damage . So many bodies builders I know have had so much serious injuries when they got older , I would always have to have conversations with these guys about lifting to much weight , it got where it was just one right after another , mostly shoulder and biceps tears , yeah it’s awesome the we can still have the strength to lift so much in our 50s and 60s but it’s just not good at all for the body .
Ohh noo. When I heard “I broke my spine”. I got a cold shiver down my back. I’ve had back problem and even that was pain to the point I had to crawl. So I could never imagine the pain of breaking a spine. 🤯
I can't find the answer of one simpe question: What is the problem to be used in competition adjustable safety pins slightly below the bar path??? The spotters may help with unrack and rerack the bar, but everything else is ridiculous. There is no human that can react fast enough in case of injury, spasm or lost conscious.
It was 6 years ago. Needless to say, safety precautions are a thing that had to be demanded and granted over the years. It is still bad and nowhere near perfect. Julius Maddox attempted a 800lbs (~335kg) bench press and those idiots misplaced one plate on the bar. It was uneven, and could have easily injured him for life. But yeah, safety precautions are a thing you have to demand and not expect to be given by all means of logical standards.
@@CentinalxGaming Powerlifting is still a very amateurish sport, that's the problem. Federations have small budgets or are ran but greedy business types with little regard for safety. They don't use safety pins because those bend and they have to buy new ones after the meet. They could use straps, but can't even be bothered to do that, a proper rack for them still costs money to transport around plus people to set it up and adjust for every lifter who know what they're doing. When possible they'll just hold the meet at some local gym and use whatever is available, so they don't have to supply any equipment at all. Half the time they just grab some kids from the local gym or college and pay them 20 bucks to spot at the meet.
It’s simple, free weights give more results than safer options, when you are on the big leagues they don’t care about being safe, they cheat with insane weights so they can get bigger, Ronnie Coleman is an example, he is on a wheel chair now
@@MrIceCreamBR I am not talking about machines. But you have very safe options like spotter arms / chains / monolift. Nobody's going to catch a falling weight of 600 pounds or more when you get an injury.
@@lekkerpruven887 true, we can see that when he was squatting he was using chains in case it fell, there were many options like you said, some of them are on other comments
Man hearing this story at some point pride and ego was taking over for you not to take those medications. But I'm glad you're not paralyzed from that bench drop. I can say from my experience doing max squat and deadlifts 2x a week, I felt my nervous system shut down, or twitch. That's when I knew it was a good time to eat and just lay tf down to rest and recover. Since then I always listen to what my body feels right before each session lifting weights. As for the spotters, looked like straight unprepared amateurs. Thank you for the videos.
Thanks for posting. That was awful, I'm glad you're ok. The bar went from 'grind' to freefall instantly. Every aspiring bench-hero should watch this video. Even with spotters, this lift can be risky.
This story made my day :) And the day has just begun. Good job at being patient and consistent. That usually requires more drive and focus than anything else.
@@ypmm53 Correct, antibiotics should only be taking under extreme scenarios. All the evidence points towards killing your microbiodome. I have taken antibiotics before and it took me a very long time to recover.
Way to overcome! I bursted my L1 a year ago & its a challenge to recover from a spinal cord injury. Not many can feel your pain. Keep pressing on 😜 Can't stop won't stop!
face savers are an absolute must. a lot of injuries and even death are easily avoided with face savers. now if somebody can come up with something for combo racks to catch free falling weights during the squat.
Wouldn't matter if it hit his chest.. the face savers go high enough that the bar can't land on your head still have to be able to touch your chest. (Hence the name)
Your health is huge, you've got 1 body gotta take care of it, but its tough when its your passion and dream vs your health, the 1 thing that would make you push past all those don't do its, but glad to see you're alive I got a thumb I can't bend or feel, but I still got it.
I could never imagine this happening to me, but I also feel your pain (literally). I herniated my L5 and S1 disc and I think I was told I fractured part of my L5. It's been 2.5 years and I still get faint sciatic pain in my calf which was almost unbearable before my surgery and I also lost some motor function in that same foot. I'm extremely grateful I had the surgeon I did the same as you did and I will never take warming up for granted again and especially stretching. I think that was the detriment of my training, is the fact I never stretched. Let's pray for some healthy recovery and more years of fighting gravity 🤘🤘🤘
2 back surgeries by the time I turned 18 due to a wrestling incident. I'm 25 now and not nearly as dedicated as this man here. It took the better part of 4 years before I started to gain and I've been lazy since, but I'm glad there's hope and this proves it.
Man watching this was very inspirational. I have back issues on my lower right side and for years I have been avoiding working out because I catch back spasms and it scares the shit out of me. But after seeing what you went through I'm gonna give it another shot and just be very careful and wear a belt. Thank you for sharing your story!!💪🏾💯
Don't avoid exercise BUT DON'T MAX OUT. Be reasonable with your training and your body. Train for yourself, not to impress others at the gym. I'd hate to see you in the comment section years from now with a serious injury.
He broke his Spine and 9 months later benched 5 plates each side while I can only get 3.5 plates each side 🤣. Guy is a BEAST!!! Inspiration man keep it up.
Ok man, that was rough! I hate hearing about injuries and worry they're contagious. I figure I've got one shot to put together the best total I can before age takes over. I worry intensely about injuries. I'm really glad you came back from this, but fkkkk
Lifting isn't the problem. The problem is trying weight you obviously can't Lift. Before I tried my first 315 lbs, I trained to lift 215 x 15 and 275 x 8 times. I ended up lifti g 315 x 3 times my first time. Safe!
@@Digger-Nick Obviously it was too much weight for the spotters.. All I am saying is that you can't be trying more weight than you know you can handle for sure. The whole point of fitness is that, to be fit, not to ego lift.
@@MexicanRed3 It's not ego lifting when you have spotters to help you in case you fail. It wasn't too much weight at all. . . The 2 guys in the middle and right weren't even trying to catch it in case it fell lmao.
Hey glad your back. Know Tone and kind of spotters. They are good. Spotted for years in RPS. People don’t know how fast that can happen. Gene also broke his back and couldn’t feel his legs. Good luck. Probably see you at some meet
I’m no pro bodybuilder but i dont think they were “spotters” they were just there to watch u. I feel like lots of people dont know the proper way to spot
@@ryanwatterson4038 Thanks but weight lifting isn't always got to be heavy to achieve a great physique and bands i use see i live all the motivational videos in my life for real i still get to it no matter what life keeps throwing at me until i die young man.
There’s a reason why there are so many videos of competition benchers getting crushed like this..everything happens so fast and none of the spotters are in mechanically advantageous position to stop these massive amounts of weight from crashing down on the lifter. All they are able to do is pull it off after the tragedy has happened.
I have 2 spine disks slipped O4-O5 Right and O5-I1 Left. Never done any heavy lifting. Never got overweight in my life, just bad construction, at age of 24 the first sign .Life is just unfair sometimes. Stay safe and use your brain not your back.
From what I can see it looks like the wrists are the limiting factor in the bench press. His wrists buckle and the weight drops, which makes me think at heavy weights there's a possiblity for the grip to fail, but how would you prevent the grip fail? Wrist wraps? It's not like anyone trains wrist mobility. I don't think that would have changed anything...
It makes literally no sense why there's not a bar catch on competition bench press setups. Even If it has to be set slightly too low it will stop catastrophic accidents like this.
Nah it does "make sense". Three spotters are already on site, and cover basically every situation except for a spontaneous bar drop, which is exceedingly rare. The cost of aving to re-adjust the safety pins for every lifter is just not realistic with a lot of lifters to get through. Also look how much of a dumbass this guy had to be in order to have this happen. I'm not saying he deserved it, but the negligence is all on him.
Working in construction from the age of 11 with my dad and Brothers Then horse back riding , then body building I acquired a L5s1 disk herniation it’s been about a 9 months , I cant lift and twist I can make sudden movements , my leg gets tingles and foot gets itchy typical nerve issues ,really considering surgery would be great if he made a episode describing his medical procedure .
I messed my neck up really bad from squatting. Personally, it can't be good putting that much weight on your neck like that. It blew out 4 disks in my neck and i had to have them fused. I try talking people into working the legs out without doing squats. They don't want to hear it. I just hope it doesn't happen to them. it just popped and I sat down and started sweating from the pain. Then my left arm started going numb and spasming. C4, 5 6 and C7, right were that dam bar sits.
Shiiit...when I tore my peck it took me a year to regain the courage to start going heavy again...even now from time to time it crosses my mind...so this dude got more courage than...well...EVERYONE...you INSPIRE me sir.
I did same thing with 495. I was luck the bar bounced twice of my chest scrapped my forarms. Luckily didn't get injured. Russian power lifter did it with 405 I thiy. Didn't go to the hospital he died 4 hours later ever internal bleeding! I did like three times once like you. Another time I dropped it once I took it off the rack. Third time I don't remember you're lucky guy though.

Great! One more thing to think about.
Shiiit...when I tore my peck it took me a year to regain the courage to start going heavy again...even now from time to time it crosses my mind...so this dude got more courage than...well...EVERYONE...you INSPIRE me sir.
I did same thing with 495. I was luck the bar bounced twice of my chest scrapped my forarms. Luckily didn't get injured. Russian power lifter did it with 405 I thiy. Didn't go to the hospital he died 4 hours later ever internal bleeding! I did like three times once like you. Another time I dropped it once I took it off the rack. Third time I don't remember you're lucky guy though.
I herniated my disc after having a shoulder replacement surgery. Then I had to have two back surgeries in 18 days. I feel your pain.
An amazing comeback.
Why? What is the point? What do you gain by handling this weight?
How tf you drop the bar once and don't learn from it
Wow. You are a warrior.
