Bodybuilder Justyn Vicky dead after 400-pound weight breaks neck - Upgoat

When the guy spotting you throws the weight to your neck...

Looks like a manslaughter charge to me, but I guess that is what you get when your spotter is a limp wristed faggot that throws the weight away as opposed to bringing it off your shoulders / back if he can't contain.

That was the problem. Everything about the way this lift was spotted was completely wrong. They killed this guy. That said, the lifter was also stupid and apparently not sufficiently trained to be lifting outside of a cage. You always bail out of the squat from the front. But having his spotter in that position also interfered with the bail, causing him to sit back rather than just dump the bar behind him. A bunch of really dumb shit all around here. If this was a PR attempt, you don't spot a person like this. You would only spot someone like that when you were reasonably sure they could get the rep with a slight bit of assistance. Other than that, you squat in a fucking cage with guards or you have no spotters at all, and you dump the bar properly. Learn the olympic lifts before you fucking go heavy with them, for fucks sake. Ask yourself, how often do you see champion olympic lifters in practice with spotters for their squats. Never. I'm getting increasingly angry the more I think about the fact that a guy died this way.

or you have no spotters and you dump the bar.

This.

I have seen dudes that were WAY over weight fail in this manner with no problems, other than perhaps a bruised ego :)

Agreed.

There's a lot of ways that could have gone better.

Over the neck is not a wise failure mode for squats.

After watching it a few more times, it was the idiot diversity hire that pushed the weight over his head.

The spotter actually seems to be trying to pull it back.

I watched it quite a few times. It looks to me like the spotter got his feet stuck under justyn has he fell.

0:10 spotter steps forward with right foot to get closer
0:11.5 spotter step back with right foot
0:12 Justyns elbows lock spotters knees and pin feet to floor
0:12 Shit skin touches weights, look like he is pulling back
0:13 Spotters knees lock and falls back
0:13 neck breaks, spotter's arm outstretched and pulling back
0:13 shit skin touching weights but spotter has lost grip
0:13 Shit skin couldn't keep the bar back, doesn't look like he pushed it
0:13 Justyns arms seize up pushing the weight forward, shit skin just went with it but wasn't the cause.

The neck broke during spotters fall backwards, the shitskin was just holding the weight and any forward momentum caused by him was post neck break. I think the seizing by justyn is the main cause of the weight being moved forward.

The blue ones are 20kg = 45 lbs. I think the red ones must be more... Probably the 55lbs ones. So...

6 x 55 = 330
2 x 45 = 90
bar is 45

total is 465

If it's actually KG and not pounds then I accept that.

In my experience, limited as it may be, "full plates" are 45 lbs.

However it works out, I have lifted more than that and I am no body builder.

Most decent bodybuilders know not to try lifting truly heavy. Likelihood of injuries multiplies. I'd rather do 10 reps with 415 than go all out and try a single at 465.

Again, not going to try to say I am some kind of beast and >500 is not that much of a stretch for squats.

Yeah, but you're after reps, not pain. Well, maybe I am doing it wrong...

The red ones are 25kg. Those are the biggest you normally have in your average European gym.

To be honest, my knee jerk reaction is stupid meathead killed himself doing something stupid, nothing of value was lost. However the philosopher class has always relied on the warrior class for survival, so I mourn the loss of his unborn children into our gene pool

Categorically untrue. The Greeks had warrior philosophers, which included Aristotle, Socrates, and Plato. The Spartan warriors kept their wisdom to themselves and put on a show of being dumb meatheads for their enemies. The East had Sun Tzu.

Warrior poets/philosophers are a classical image of ideal men. It's the rat bastard kikes that led us into the schism of useless intellectuals and dudebros.

It was the guy who came in on the far left at the last second who pushed the weight forward onto the guy's neck.

You would think there would be a true safety restraint. Its not like the spotter could do anything from that stance. That weight was 800lbs to him standing behind him.
