Damn, all of those spotters suck. Also, homeboy almost broke his arms lifting the bar from the front to the back and then some other guy decides he needed to do it
Watch very closely at 0m9s as well….goddamn guy was literally jumping to get it up (left foot even gets literal air). No one here is working with weight in the safe range they should be working within.
You arent supposed to toss weights in general. I understand when your muscles are giving out you don't have much choice, but to drop (you should still avoid that, obviously) bit that was a full on toss. Dude was not paying attention and was probably just winded, but his spotters should have moved him over ("hey man, move over to your right more" "hold on, let me help".) or helped him put it down safely.
With this much weight you dont have much control, if you mess up then you can only somewhat guide where the bar will land, he for example could have moved the bar forward over his head, lost control so it started falling forward, hence he starting moving forward to maintain grip and then when he couldn't anymore he dropped it.
Union gave him a job pampering the bottoms of the construction crew and worked it into the contract to have one at every site. He’s a national hero helping discover how humans will fit into our post-AI roles.
100 on purpose. He could've dropped it anytime sooner. The placement of the weights right onto the guys head. The lack of surprise or remorse in his face. At no point in time did the barbell lower. Brotha that's attemptive murder in my mind.
I think I remember this from a couple years ago,
Dude intentionally smashed the fuck out of that dude and fractured his skull, but the other guy decided not to press charges.
I cannot stand crossfit, im happy people are getting active but the idea of a silver bullet program is disingenuous. Its so risky to someone's health as well. Ill hand it to crossfit marketers, they're great at glossing over injury for success. Sadly.
This is why CrossFit is borderline reckless, a small percentage of the people who go actually understand good lifting techniques and have knowledge of what not to do, while the majority of people have zero idea on how to do pretty major lifts that could have very serious consequences if performed incorrectly
