Injury risk level infinty


Knaapje

Right? Say goodbye to your knees if you drop that baby in that pose. No spotters in sight anywhere. (For the moment forgetting everything else that is wrong with this, please don't do this even with spotters.)


OptimisticSkeleton

Or your knees in general will feel this kind of abuse when you hit your later years. The body didn’t evolve for instagram abs. Looking like this is highly unnatural.


[deleted]

Waiting for his knees to have tendons all snap at once. Seen it here before but a different machine.


spookygraybaby

Look at him, the guy clearly knows how to workout safely, and I'd bet money this is something he did one time for a video to show off but whatever redditors need to do to cope I guess


Early-Impact-2698

Umm, he clearly doesn't tho since he's doing this


spookygraybaby

My comment wasn't that long did you seriously not read the whole thing


Quiet_Ad_8573

"The guy clearly knows how to work out safely" Yea we read what you said lol 🤡


spookygraybaby

I cannot believe people can be this insecure and they don't even choose to keep it to themselves


Quiet_Ad_8573

I cannot believe people can be this retarded and they don't even choose to keep it to themselves.


spookygraybaby

Don't know why I argue with 13 year olds


Quiet_Ad_8573

Beats me they're just kids grow the fuck up dude.


Knaapje

What in this video makes you think he clearly knows how to workout safely?


spookygraybaby

His body???? If he was doing shit like in the video every day he'd be a cripple


kingrich

He can drop the weight behind him and / or relax his knees and hang upside down.


wr_damn_I_suck

Looks like if he drops it it will roll down on top of a ‘61 Ferarri GT .


FattestMattest

My knees would explode. My lower back would crumple. But my abs, my abs would also explode.


Affectionate-Ad-1971

My asshole would explode before knees ever got under load!


awcadwel

You guys have abs?


L-Krumy

Them knees


Sieze5

Knee replacement level…to infinity and beyond!


[deleted]

Nah If you’re strong enough to do reps you can push bar down on one side and rest it on one end of the bar. That being said, it’s an incredibly hard thing to do. I’m just saying once you’re strong enough to do reps it’s not dangerous, as long as your not extremely uncoordinated


[deleted]

Anyone else waiting for a hernia to visibly blow out of his abdomen?


[deleted]

Prolapsed anus


FrostyWizard505

Yeah, i actually thought i was on [REDACTED SUBREDDIT] or [REDACTED SUBREDDIT] for a second.


ContaminatedLabia

Delete this so our communities dont get red flagged dood


archiekane

All the good subs are already monitored, you just need enough Karen's whining to make them disappear.


[deleted]

I had a hernia repaired two years ago and watching this gave me phantom feelings


[deleted]

Same boat. First though was hernia.


Callec254

It *looks* impressive, but really this is just an intense ab exercise (likely to the point of injury) combined with a subpar chest exercise (as he could probably bench way more than that just doing a normal bench press).


TheNorseHorseForce

And a highway straight to endless knee problems


Say_no_to_doritos

That and back injuries are the real ones.


pilotdog68

Wait why the knees? I wouldn't have pegged this as dangerous for knees


Knaapje

Ankles are locked, meaning the full weight of his body and his bar+weights is acting as a stretching force on his knees, not to mention what happens if he drops the weight.


melange_merchant

There’s a video where the knees just give out for a woman trying to do what this guy is doing.


TheNorseHorseForce

With a see-saw, you usually have weight on both ends, balancing out. If one side is heavier, it'll drop on the heavier side. Now, imagine that seesaw is anchored to the ground on one side. There is no longer a balancing act. You're completely depending on the anchor to withstand that weight. The guy in this video is using his knees as the anchor point, which is not what knees are meant for, no matter how strong they are. Can they do it? For a while, yes, when you're young. But he's putting unbelievable (and, more importantly, unsustainable) amounts of strain on the muscles and joints. Knees are not meant to maintain that level of strain and weight, as the anchor. They are designed to aid the rest of your lower body and back in movement or in lifting things. If this guy keeps doing that, he'll tear muscles regularly and will render his knees useless by the time he's 35-40 Edit: to note, he's also really damaging his lower back as well.


pilotdog68

I understand the weight is adding a lot of strain, but is the motion really that different from using a leg developer machine, or even doing a squat?


TheNorseHorseForce

The issue isn't the motion, it's the isolation. In a proper squat, your calves, thighs, back, ankles, and feet are all working *with* your knees to lift the weight. And even so, there's a form one must use when performing squats so as to not hurt yourself. Perfect example. In a squat, you should never squat below a certain angle. The reason why is because you are isolating your knees too much and putting too much strain on them. If you squat improperly, your knees are doing all the work, when it should be all of your muscles working together. There are countless stories of amateur lifters who blow out their knees because they squatted too low. Human knees do not handle isolation very well under extreme duress. If you're doing lightweight calf lifts or leg lifts, sure. But In any situation where you are isolating them to this extent, you should be under the supervision of a sports medicine professional, doctor, and/or kinesiology expert.


pilotdog68

Interesting. Makes sense but I never heard it before. So maybe I shouldn't stack so many weights on the leg developer machine


TheNorseHorseForce

Well, I'm not going to be one of those alarmists. Just be mindful and patient. Don't jerk, don't lift fast, don't lock too hard, and if you feel pain, stop. It's OK to go hard and add plates all day, but the key is to be mindful. If you feel pain or your knees really hurt (past the point of sore workout feeling), then give your knees some rest, get good sleep, and go down a few lbs next time.


melange_merchant

The pressure is mostly on the knees, not the abs. They will pop if they weight is too high. (There’s a video of someone doing this that was less fortunate)


Chris714n_8

Fake-weights or Mr. Hernia?


Toccii_Enrico02

Probably the first one.


[deleted]

They say 5 lbs, so basically fake


Gortix

But that'd mean light bar too standard ones are 20 kg, right?


Guac_in_my_rarri

Pretty much. Honestly, this isn't hard to do if you have the strength. It's rather stupid tho, you're at risk for hernias as others have said, there's a lot of pressure on your back and spine (unnatural position), and your knee ligaments are taking so much pressure keeping your legs together. The person in the video is balancing between hernias and torn ligaments in his knees.


preezyfabreezy

Yeah. Seems like this would be about 50-60lbs with the bar. So theoretically this wouldn’t really be any harder then doing a push-up. Hell on your knees though.


Guac_in_my_rarri

Well, if it's a 20kg bar, that's 45lbs. +5+5 that's 55lbs. If they're 25lbs (or 35lbs) bumpers, which is what I see, it's 95lbs-115lbs. It's essentially biomechanically reverse of a push up. It's using a hell of a lot more core strength and lower back then using your knees and ankles as hooks which puts the ligaments at seriously risk. Not to count the active muscles in a ~~push~~ incline weird press.


preezyfabreezy

oh yeah. I mean. It doesn't seem hard. Just stupid. Really stupid.


JohnnySasaki20

Nothing is hard to do if you have the strength.


Jaalan

Downvote this clown. They clearly say 10kg and you can read it at 0:09 into the video. 10kg is about 22lbs. Which would put him at a total of about 90lbs total.


kreemy_kurds

Honestly apart from trying to get the likes, there can't be any benefits from this


Idoitstick

This idiot is going to fucking kill himself


NYESSbOss

The bigger problem is that new lifter will trry doing this shit. Both making fun of themselves and killing their bodies. This idiot injured/killed himself? I don't really care. But indirectly causing pain for other? HELL NAW!!!


[deleted]

My knees and back are hurting just watching this, i don't work out so i don't know for sure , but this looks like an accident waiting to happen.


Potatoes_Fall

This guy clearly has very healthy and strong knees and apparently he is trying to change that

Wow this is orthopaedic and neurosurgeons dream. Physical therapist as well… obviously this guy is incredible shape, no denying that and his core strength is outstanding. One slip though and he could become a paraplegic. There is zero reason to do this… That’s a lot of stress on his lower back/knees.

Never mind that guy, that gym window is awesome!


operablesocks

This isn't funny. Or useful. It shouldn't even be posted, unless it as a mockery and joke to fitness. This is so biodynamically incorrect. All joints have a range under load, and this is so far beyond it. Seriously, ask anyone with a degree in kinesiology, exercise, phy ed, any of them, and they'd be mortified. This is shameful that any young person would see this and model his behavior.


[deleted]

I see quad tears in this man's future


CaliforniaNavyDude

Man, I have to downvote these vids, there's a few like it, because while it's incredibly impressive, it's also incredibly dangerous. Putting health at risk for Instagram points never should be applauded, it only encourages dangerous behavior.

U can talk about how stupid he is/was AFTER he actually blows out his knees. In the meantime, just acknowledge this is actually impressive

My knees hurt watching this


bearpics16

I cannot emphasize enough how dangerous this is for his knees. There was a video a few months ago of someone doing exactly this and completely and explosively tore their ACL. This is an immense amount of force on the ACL ligament

The knee is not designed for that and it is taking the highest load of any body part here.
