Crushed Ribs

Look, if you want to be absolutely sure that you are not dropping the weight on your chest, make sure that you at least give the spotters a chance to react. This guy just collapsed while holding the weight, and it's very difficult to react fast enough to catch something like that. Too bad for him, but I'm sure he was aware of the risks, it didn't look like it was the first time he lifted heavy weights.

Im surprised a turd rocket didnt str8 rip out his pants...

i've seen several examples of spotters who were worthless

He shoulda have the brain

Yes, hopefully soon we will catch up to your country....

they may have huge guts, but for a lot of powerlifters, that's where they get all of their power!

They are powerlifters. They are not worried about how they look without a shirt. All they are worried about it size and strength. Having a six pack serves no real purpose in this sport.

.

You need to take a serious look at your sense of humor.

hand straps aren't best used on the bench. as for the spotters, they didn't do a very good job

You ever heard someone break their sternum and multiple ribs?

oh weird how im a surgeon i fink i cut open peoples ribs before mate

Suregeons have an education, meaning a surgeon is probably going to type with proper grammar and not spell think, fink.

maybe not... the dumb people are the people that always point out the slightest mistake... maybe because they have nothing else to say.. who knows...

He isn't exactly 15 yrs old. Considering that powerlifters lift heavy things for competition and just plain being a badass. I am pretty sure its a safe bet to say those are one of the reasons he's doing it. Not, because little Billy tripled double dog dared him. And as far as being too short. The best powerlifters are normally shorter (with the exception of competing for the worlds strongest man). Lower center of gravity and you don't need to lift the weight quite so high.

Thats where your wrong being short has its advantages in wieght lifting. The shorter your arms are the less distance they have to be raised (Bench Press). Also they do not extend as far away from your body while doing (Flies). Meaning you can get away with lifting more weight.

The people around him arn't pressureing him they are getting him siced, pumped up so he can get ready mentaly. Having someone yell at you builds extra adrenelin which gives your blood added oxygen.

omg r u serious i never knew that! btw its ADRENALINE! stop tryin to be a smartass cos it just aint workin

Just Trying to impress you.

Whats stupid about pushing your limits, stepping into the unknown. You sound like my friend Aaron, a couch potatoe.

If you dont see anything stupid in crashing all your chest and probably killing yourself - congrats! Keep the Nation this way and let Euros laugh at you.

Its couch potatos that make the U.S. look bad. Fat, lazy, pathetic Americans that like to point fingers and judge and blame it on others. This guy has the mind, power, dedication, and bravery to try something most people consider impossible. And others too dam scared to try. And as far as Euros, there are a ton of powerlifters from europe. They have some the best. Hell the world's strongest man winner (Manusz Pudzoanow) is from Poland. So, if anyone is laughing at us from Europe, then they need to get their head out of their ass and quit being a hypocrite.

There is a fine line between being scared and being stupid.
So I prefer being 'stupid' and having my body toegether to being brave and disabled, dead or whatever.

Btw the guy`s name is Mariusz Pudzianowski ;)

First off I don't care what you have to say about the country I live in, (USA). You have painted your own picture from every person that has said anything to you about the USA. I can tell you have never been here and obvisly you would never be able to enjoy it with your mentality. Second just about every sport has its potential injuries. Dont tell me soccer players dont go home sore everynight. Die Hard Athlets push concequences and risks aside for the love of the sport . I risk my joints, muscles, and bones doing what I love.

Well, I visit your beloved country every year and I wouldnt be surprised If I have seen it more than you did, but it scares me because I`m thinking about studying in the US and when I read that doing something obviously that is beyond your possibilities and takes a death-risk is in your guys mind something to be proud of...
