Remember when he said he would quit after winning WSM, lose weight, etc. (presumably stop taking drugs) for his health so he wouldn't be dead in 10 years?

Well he did lose 50-60 lbs but basically he didn't do it.

Dead by 40.

Eddy will definitely die for us in the near future!

looks more like he breaks bar dropping it, not by pressing it

he needs to learn to treat the equipment more carefully!

The lifting & pressing the weight/ Bar it was fine
When he dropped it to the floor that’s when the
End sleeve came off / broke.

Not quite him breaking the bar.
Saying all that - it’s a huge amount of weight
To lift made harder by that awkward thick non
Revolving bar.
