and he agreed not to use spotters

True but Lund has a history of people being injured on his shoots. Not saying it wasent Fux's fault but I know if I was a photographer I would at least know some kind of limit or have safety in mind in some way ( bars in the cage ).

not using a spoter on a 695lbs squat....priceless

there's always a lesson to learn, when EGOS get on the way

and he agreed not to use spotters

Quote from: FLEX Magazine, August 2002
Here's how Jean-Pierre remembers the accident. "We'd worked up to seven plates on each side. That weight is not a problem for me -- I had done the same thing a week earlier for my training video. I began to squat down and everything was fine. Then in a split second, I went from complete comfort to collapse. My knees just went -- I crashed down so quickly the spotters didn't have time to react. Afterward, they felt bad about it, but it was so quick, nobody could have caught the weight."

According to this quote, Jean-Pierre had spotters but they weren't in the pic and the accident happened too fast for them to react.  It wasn't stupidity on Jean-Pierre's part, it was just a freak accident.  They happen.

Always heard rumors he was gay.

He's named Jean-Pierre, for God's sake.

I know JP and he is a very successful trainer in Palm Springs California. He and his girl both came out to the Colorado Pro when they were on their way to Aspen last month. And they were also at the Junior Cal in Pasadena on Saturday. He is in great shape carrying a lot of upper body size but sadly still walks with a limp. You will probably next see him attending the Olympia.
