Exactly.

The train is going to crash. It’s a certainty.

Somebody should always stand behind the squatter, and pull up on the bottom of the squatters rib cage (if the squat attempt fails). That would’ve worked here.

In 1950 Reg Park discovered he couldn't be both the strongest and best built man. He chose the latter.

Ronnie came to grief using insane poundages. 800+ pound squats and deadlifts helped destroy his body.

Arthur Jones said we should build strength not demonstrate it.

Larry has to decide what he wants to do. Lifting heavier and heavier will lead to more injuries.

Couldn't agree more!

The worst is yet to come for Lawrence "Wheels" Williams. The only thing his PR knee sleeve will be good for, is keeping the "snapped" leg from falling off completely.
Sort of like Sid Vicious's boot.

you don't see the old step squat rack in too many gyms anymore.

I always cringe when I see someone trying to do extremely heavy squats. When you start to go over six plates it just gets scary. All that weight traveling down your spinal column, which doesn't seem like the most stable platform. At least with a leg press, the force is going through the big, stable bones of your femur and hips.

Yeah, this is why I hate getting two people to spot me. It's bad enough having one shit spotter. It's worse when the spotters really need to do their job well - they absolutely have to be in sync.

The left spotter correctly engages when its clear the lift has failed. The right spotter waits, thinking that he might be able to relift it after going down, which means the bar gets lifted up by the right spotter and dumped onto Larry as an uneven load.

He was fine until that. At that point he has to go into survival, dump the bar behind him mode, but they are now holding the bar from being dumped out back.

It's just bad spotting, period.

I don't know why so many high level squatters insist on not having safety bars (I know guys at my gym who deliberately squat using the pegs on the outside of the power rack for absolutely no good reason).

Same sort of shit has happened to me when two people have spotted me on bench. It isn't pleasant. It's a clusterfuck.

Some people are ignorant about how to properly use power racks/cages.

The guy behind Larry was not prepared for the worst case scenario

Instead, he was more aware of the camera... and he stepped to the side, so that Larry would not block him from the viewing angle of the camera. The spotter wanted to be seen by the viewing audience.

Yes,I have seen 2 retards try to fuck a doorknob so I assume 2 more would be possible.

I use a squat rack with safety bars I can adjust.

Most gym squat racks have safety bars built in.

Nothing to do with the guy behind. If the guy behind gets involved, he blocks the exit of the bar and maybe gets himself squashed, instead. It's good that he didn't get involved. It could potentially have made it worse (for himself mostly). The spotters have to have a path to get rid of the bar. Guy behind blocks that.
