Re: Barbell Snaps 33-year-old Bodybuilding Influencer's Neck in Gruesome Gym Mishap
He would have been absolutely fine without that 'spotter' there. A big part of lifting heavy weights is knowing how to fail with them as well. A spotter on either side of the bar (to lift the bar upwards) would have been much safer. Even no spotter would have been better. Just lower down into the squat position and throw the bar behind you. Dude literally died because he had someone there to help him  |

He died for our entertainment/education.  Seems like the spotter had no leverage from the start.  |

What are "influencers" selling when "fans" cheer on the influencers stupidity and hope for their quick and humorous demise?

Re: Barbell Snaps 33-year-old Bodybuilding Influencer's Neck in Gruesome Gym Mishap
I never understood this sport personally. And that spotter was completely at fault. There should have been one either side to lift it from him. What good is one person behind? |

As a Strongman myself, Bodybuilders shouldn't lift heavy like us, they're not built for it.
