Hate to see this..

-
OUCH!
From Brandon Lilly himself:
First I want to than Steve Denison for the invitation to compete in such a great event. Second congrats to Daniel Green for yet another World Record.
On my squat as I descended my left knee popped wildly, and gave out, causing similar strain to the right leg. Thank everyone of the crew onstage, and EMT’s on the scene.
As of right now without surgery I’d never walk again as I sheared my ACL, meniscus, patella, tore both quad tendons, and MCL in both knees and the knee cap in my left knee will be replaced. I go in for surgery in 10-15 minutes, I just wanted to thank every single person for the comments, status updates, texts, and emails. This is just a bump in the road.
I have one of the best knee surgeons in the US. Say a prayer or keep me in your thoughts… I appreciate you all very much, and I’ll see you on the flip side.

I hope there was a plastic trophy involved. I couldn't imagine anyone doing this for free.

Stick to whatever else you do besides training.......how about baking? You seem to like that. BTW, If it's dumb, why the attempt on the 600lb DL? That's powerlifting. It's better than tripping on stage oiled up in a thong and tearing your ACL or sprinting and tearing a quad. Think before you post.

scary as fuck watching people fail with huge weights involved.
hope he's insured

That is the worst injury short of death, that I've seen at a power meet.
Lots of things probably contributed to this -
1) Weight drop. He was cutting a bit of weight from what I remember.
2) He had changed up his meet strategy from what he was using a few months before.
3) Shoes. He went from a heeled olympic lifting shoe to a flat Reebok power shoe like a beefed up Chuck Taylor. That may seem like a small thing, but it affects set up, the degree of muscles involved, etc....
and of course:
4) Some days just aren't your day, he just didn't look like the normal Lilly you see at meets during the walk out.
This is one of the reasons I've softened on Monolifts over the years, a Mono with safety straps set up, might of saved him from a bit of that damage.
The insurance is a tricky thing, some say he has coverage, some say no, but then there's the sticky wickett of if he does have insurance, will it cover the injury? Some won't cover injuries sustained during a semi - pro or pro sporting event with prizes.
-
He's not :-\
He doesn't have Obamacare? ???
-
They are not covering him and as per Chad Smith, they're trying to raise about 100K to cover everything. The injury was as bad as I've ever heard of. Its pretty interesting what BB posted. I assume those shoes he had were the new Mark Bell trainers...

Great post and I agree 100% with the monolifts. They should be used in every event. We are an AAU Powerlifting gym and they don't allow monolifts.
-
Did he stumble or did it just blow.

Yes and no. You can use monolifts, but you still have to walk the weight back.

Haven't seen an answer on this, here is a slow mo of the lift -

It looks like a blow out.
-
Jesus...yeah he's wearing the new Bells. He never got under it, just crumbled. We're supposed to do a seminar with him in March, this sucks.
Thanks for the info....

Why is a person with such a strangely demanding hobby not insured?
Nonetheless, all the best and fast recovery.
-

Agreed.
-

Because an insurance company would want huge figures to insure you.
They would look at it like a certain claim at some point.
-
He states that he has insurance, but they are not covering it because he is a "professional" and was competing in his chosen sport during the injury. Pretty bullshit if you ask me, but that's an insurance company for you. I hope he is able to make a recovery, he is a great asset for the sport of powerlifting.
-
He's a great dude...always ready to help. If anybody comes back its him. I think there will be a few folks who take some sorta joy out of this injury to him.

That's the big one that catches a lot of people. Lots of folks think they'd be covered by existing coverage, but once things like prize money, etc.... gets in the mix, the companies claim you're a pro, and that changes your coverage.

"Just leaving the hospital after a long frustrating day for all. Jessica Lilly and I were finally allowed to spend some time with Brandon Lilly after about 5 hours of surgery and another 6 in the recovery room with very little reporting on his progress.
Brandon may have set a world record in ligaments/tendons that needed repairing with tears to both quad tendons, patella tendons, MCLs, meniscus, as well as the left ACL, hamstring tendon and breaking the left knee cap in two.
He is happy to be out of the recovery room now and is thankful for all the messages and posts." .

Also insurance companies seldom cover high risk activities.
-
Pro sports teams take out insurance policies on players all the time. My understanding is they are for some of the player's salary guaranteed in their contract, in the event of a major injury.
Not sure how relevant that is here but just wanted to point it out given the insurance-chat. I imagine they're not the best deal in the world insurance-wise.
I've also heard of players taking out policies on themselves (sort of like disability insurance) but can't think of any specific recent examples.
-
I'd like to see what a quote for coverage for this could be...with them actually covering everything.
BB thanks for the update.
-
When I played rugby the club had insurance to cover the players.
I spoke to a private insurance company and he said the premiums to take out cover would be so high you would pay more than they would likely pay out.
-
You have to wonder if he thought he was covered in the first place. There are places to donate on the "Cube" facebook and via Strong360 if you're a member.
-
He's not :-\
Smart man taking a stand against obamacare. 8)

i will always wonder what that dude could have done if he actually put the same amount effort into powerlifting as he did bodybuilding

Lilly requested that the donation pages be taken down.
Seems that they were causing some back biting in the ranks, won't name the lifter, but their girlfriend was posting stuff like this -
"39 minutes ago
Looks like I need to get injured to get a $100k fundraiser started for me. #sorryImnotsorry oh wait… Like everyone else I do have medical bills I'm still paying off. Maybe I will make a page. " .
-
Lilly is always preaching about strongman...the top guys being much stronger then most top powerlifters. It's his thing to move the sport more towards better all around strength. Coleman never shied away from big weight, kind of a throwback.

Maybe Brandon cornholed her and didn't call.

Holy shit people suck. I don't know who you're referring to but this guy is a genuine good guy....after this he'll know who his friends really are. There is so much drama these days in everything.

Dude eats the Go4It breakfast:

That's the older Brandon Lilly....he did drink a gallon of maple syrup for charity.
BB...never mind I saw some shit on FB...if its true its fucked up. Way to much drama for a squat injury. I hope its the insurance angle and that Chad Wesley Smith is able to come through and take care of most of it.

In terms of being a visual spectacle, I think they should use lighter or wider plates. That 750lbs on the bar doesn't look nearly as heavy as it actually is.

Anti monolift purist ball-stroking is the most ridiculous part of PLing, the walkout is even more dangerous than the lift and an incorrect setup is going to amplify any injury potential from a missed lift.
The guy is finished, hes never coming back from this. Even as a bench specialist he's screwed without a working knee.

Just think, Single Payer, Universal Healthcare would have taken care of him and he would not have to panhandle his way back to the Squat rack. I assume you are going to donate 10 dollars to the fund so he can get some listerine and maybe some bandaids?
-

Not sure if he would be in the "greatest of all time" argument like he is in bodybuilding, but he would have definitely made some noise in powerlifing.

haha am i the only one dying of laughter about this finochhio ?hahahha
this twaat, haha, look at his shoes, brutal,hahaha ;D ;D
love it how he brought up his legs into fuckme cswol bench stance after falling down ;D ;D
also pay attention to his extremly ripped stomach,how the bar sits on it while hes stil standing :D
this one is hard to top, only maybe if he crapped his pants spontaneously before tipping over.

nah adonis a "sorry" will have to suffice i think
in cuba,the guy would be fit by the weekend :D

What's with people begging for money lately ?
Yes..it sucks the guy suffered a massive..massive injury...kinda not my problem. And I say that not as a wiseass..but as a person with bills of my own.

I know who that lifter is and he is a complete and utter prick. I used think he was überman here.

Because we have a fucked up Healthcare system which reduces many people to panhandling. Its pretty common actually.
-
He's already had his surgery so no listerine needed....they'll figure it out. I'd rather donate then be forced by Ol Barry to support all your ready made voters on welfare.
Hey Airosol...thats supposedly off of Sparkle Green's FB page...

I have defended crossfit in other posts. I take it all back after watching the gifs posted. I can't stop laughing.
Single payer Universal health care? I can only imagine what kind of quality health care that would provide. Doctors are in the game to make big money. You take the profits out of it and health care will become crap.

Nothing says quality like 80,000 dollars for 750 dollar Anti-Venom for a snakebite.

Well, that 10 dollars could go a long way then. I will match your donation if you do it.

Yep that's her style. Her husbands too. Shame BC Brandon had some nice things to say about dAns record squat at the same meet. :-\

Shit is already down and they refunded those who donated. I bought a couple of shirts from JTS instead. But I would have taken you up on that....

yes, very expensive,therefore the quality must be quite up there :D

What the hell...he's never said anything bad about him, the records or anything. They lift weights... I think the net makes this shit worse. Both he and Dan represent JTS and Lilly was supposed to do a seminar tommorrow with Green in Cali at his gym.

How long did it take to rasie the 329K..that happened a few weeks ago.

2weeks i think.
but crossfit is bigger comunity,and powerlifters waste all their money on food binges ;D
-
TRue about the community...and from what BB posted..maybe he should have food binged. He went in lighter then normal...and pretty tight. He a massive guy.

They should just have an electronic machine that measures force output in various lifts with no weight needed. This would determine who was strongest and nobody would get hurt.

I agree that is outrageous. They reduced the bill to $20,227. He had to pay $5K of what his insurance didn't cover according to a Yahoo news article. They weren't just charging for the anti venom though.
No doubt there are many rip offs in health care. How about the Red Cross begging for blood donations and then they sell it to hospitals? Another is elderly patients being seen by doctors for reasons other than what they came to the hospital for to pad the bill.
