Rookie IFBB Pro League athlete Zack Khan was forced to postpone his debut once already this year. Now, Khan may have to push that debut further back than the FLEX Pro in February 2011.
Khan underwent surgery today, two days after completely detaching the tendons above his left and right knees. Khan suffered the injury while hack squatting. He was back in the gym just 10 days after undergoing surgery for a minor hernia, which was the reason Khan pushed his pro debut from the Tampa Pro Bodybuilding Weekly Championships on July 17 to the FLEX Pro on February 26, 2011.
"It was the first time Zack had trained legs in about eight weeks, actually," Khan's trainer/nutritionist Neil Hill said. "He had suffered a very small tear in his left hamstring about eight weeks ago. So all he had done the last couple weeks were some very light extensions."
We spoke with Khan before his surgery and received an e-mail from Hill informing us that the surgery was a success.
"I'm just looking forward to getting the operation
out of the way, then I'll start thinking about walking again and everything," Khan said yesterday. "I'm positive, I've spoken to doctors who said I'd be up and walking within six to eight weeks.
"This is just another obstacle. I've had many in my life and gotten through them all, so this is nothing. I'll be back soon."

Thing is Joel Stubbs has competed and has a out of this world upper body. Khan, hasn't even gotten out the gates yet. What we might have here is lame horse, plain and simple.
-
already said he wont do anything in pros like wolfe. evan is on his way.
-
Bye Bye Zack...we hardly knew Ye
-
Classic injury for the natural trainers. :-\
-
That's a tough break for a young guy, at least Dorian was white
-
Swede won't recover :'(
-
damn that sucks
-
Swede won't recover :'(
Swede is self-flagegating himself in front of a Khan poster as we speak. He will then purposely slit his tendons in the exact place that Khan tore his, to exact the same pain on himself that Khan endured. Thus creating a spiritual and religious link to Khan that cannot be severed by mortal means.

hahahaha, two detached tendons in both knees at the same time while hack squatting??
lolll sounds more like somebody forgot to pay for his GH for a bunch of months........
-
lol
bam bam did you used to go to the aol bbing chat room years ago
-
aol? no, may I ask you why?
no reason, a regular from that room had a screen name named bam bam
-
His legs aren't his strong point. This will be hard to recover from.
-
He will never recover!
-
That's why you should never do hacks where the knees go over the feet ala sissy squats or anything close to it, and never break parallel..
-
Hmm, we may have another JP Fux on our hands here. Obviously Zack's injury isn't as serious, but like JP was never the same after his squatting accident...
-
That's why you should never do hacks where the knees go over the feet ala sissy squats or anything close to it, and always break parallel..
Fixed.

Fixed.
I feel for your knees. :D
-
Damn, quite possibly a career ending injury.
-
Classic injury for the natural trainers. :-\
Actually just the opposite.
-
I feel for your knees. :D
My knees love deep front squats, thank you. 8) Besides, why shouldn't we use the joint throughout all it's motion? It was designed to do just that...
-

Exactly..(except for the part about breaking parallel). You want to save your knees, parallel or below not above.
-
Maybe his trainer Neil Hill has more details.

i agree,, hack squats just DONT feel right to me even with light weight it feels like my knees are about to blow out
let that be a another lesson to you idiots trying to impress eveyone with moving lots of weight for "short retard reps"........your gonna hurt yourself
like lee haney said..........."stimulate, dont annihilate"
and one more thing,,,,,zack khan is never, and was never going to be anything more then a supplement ad darling anyway....too many flaws

I have similar problems... Maybe a height thing?

yeh, i think taller people are just biomechanically different
i see shorter guys do things in the gym, particularly on leg day, that would cause me to be injured

X2. I am 6'2" and was trying to explain to some 5'4" midget how I am just not built for squats. Of course being 21years old he proceded to lecture me how you MUST squat blah blah blah. Just like you MUST bench too right? Idiot.

Best squatters in the world (superheavyweight weightlifters) are around your height...

yeah, front squatting as well, i tried it a few times, and it just hurt all over.....not the good "i just got a workout hurt".....but injured hurt
flatbenching too, i never got injured doing it....but i got kind of bored with it last year, cause its overemphasized
so i started doing a lot of other movements and my chest has made SO much progress
-
Think he gave up what he was using to the docs pre-surgery so there were not any complications with the anesthesia?

dunno it might be just bullshit, and excuses. I'm 6'4 and used to do lame quarter rep squats with 240 pounds. A half year ago after a quick reality check i decided to actually learn squatting properly. So i dropped the weight, and started to make deep squats with 100 pounds. Naturally i didn't had any problem doing them :D Now i can do it with 200 pounds, so i guess this "being tall" thing was just an excuse to make lame and not so exhausting quarter reps... You just need to let your ego outside the gym, and let your muscles and joints get used to the deep squats.
PS: i know that 200 pounds arent too much. Thanks.

The joint isn't the issue, it's the tendon being stretched over a greater range of motion with a heavy load on it. Recipe for disaster.

this is why you shouldn't do hack squats.
-

it's not so much shouldn't as to let the ego go a bit,it's like leg presses some people pile on the 45's and get the gym stares from the loaded press .hacks work with a good superset say extension,lunges ect.milos injured himself on hacks also.i don't care how developed your quads and hams are your tendons say otherwise.
-
Bloody hell! He's done before he even started. Too many young dudes with promise never make it to their first pro show. That just sucks. The big problem with hacks is not just the position but machines in general. They are not designed for tall or short people but with the idea of 5'4" to max 6'. Anyone above or below will be at some whacked out angle. Poor fucker is just toast. He'll truly never recover.

I love how you guys complain about being tall and doing squats... ::)
PUSSIES...It's not supposed to be easy.

I love how mofos complain about being tall, but call anybody shorter than them midgets...you can't have it both ways, ya ain't a woman.
-
I'm 6'3 and i do deep squats. You just gotta practice your hips flexability more so than the midgets. Start light, work your way up.
-
ahhh we may have another joel stubbs on our hands... :-\
I don't think Joel was a bodybuilder when the injury happened..so his leg development wasn't huge to begin with, hence the disparity in his proportions.
-
was the injury really from Hack Squat..? ???
