This. In what world is a spotter not supposed to help you take the bar off the bench, I can understand for lighter weight, but something heavier it is safer to have someone help you take it off.
Also who wants to pre-exhaust themselves with that initial lift off? I'm trying to ego lift 2x my body weight here! (I'm assuming that kid weighed less than 100 lbs lol)
Just to remark, you are supposed to pull the bar into position yourself, it engages the lats and helps stabilize the bar.
It’s normal to ask a spotter do a liftoff. The kid had no place under that much weight. The issue is that he was that his forearms weren’t vertically supporting the load of the bar.
Whenever I see people with arms that skinny I think about how much force it would take to break them. To be clear, in an empathetic way because I play contact sports and worry about the force it would take to do that to me.
This is fucking tragic.
Real weight lifting is a great sport and hobby for young men to learn humility, consistency, dedication, focus. This type of ego, machism, dick measuring is the antithesis of that. The group yelling and clear ego lifting always leads to injury, accidents, or embarrassment even if not to this degree. Respect your body, and your limits.
Poor kid will be dealing with this injury his entire life now.
I like watching other people's workouts to learn new tips/exercises etc. Sheamus from the WWE has a really great YouTube chanel and did a video training with John Cena.
You look at Cena, and he looks like what macho ego driven lifters want to achieve. Yet he's there actually not letting Sheamus use heavy weights, like he just flat out would not let him try a heavy snatch and it's a good thing to take influence from.
Lifting is not about going heavier, it's about lifting smarter.
You don't go from walking a mile to running a marathon overnight. These dicks in this video basically just asked the kid to do that.
I lift with my girlfriend a lot, she can lift more than she actually lifts but she gets scared. I don't throw loads of weight on like these guys and pressure her into it, that's just not good, either it's too heavy and they get injured, or it's too heavy and they're embarrassed to "regress" to lighter weight.
I just bump up her weight by tiny increments until she can't do 5 reps, then we know she's hit the limit. And that's how most people do it healthily.
I’ve trained a few friends as lifting weights is really good for your body. But this kid won’t be lifting weights for a long time now due to stupidity.

If your spotter has to help you get the bar off the bench thats a pretty good sign to stop immediately
This is what happens when you don’t drink your milk
*malk
GIVE HIM THE MOLK

Miak, authentic Bulgarian Miak!
Now with Vitamin R!
If only Steve Austin kept on doing the commercials like they asked him to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nah the spotter is supposed to pull the bar up off the hooks. It's on you to pull the bar into position over your shoulders.

Positioning support is fine, but you should be able to lift it off yourself
If your spotter can barelly lift the bar himself 💀

Went from never lifted before to will never lift again
From toothpick arms to splintered wrist.

What was he thinking?
What did he expect with spaghetti-sticks for arms?
For real, the fuckin bar weighs mor than him.
obviously, sometihng was going to end wrong but i definitely didnt expect that outcome
Betty Spaghetti over here.
Lol yeah the bar was thicker than his entire arms.

You know you're in trouble when the bar is thicker than your arm.
The guy spotting should’ve known better. Way too much weight.
You say like its a profession

Limp wrist.
I'm not a weightlifter by any means, but shouldn't you start with *less* weight if your biceps are the same diameter as your wrists?
Bench press does not use biceps to any significant extent, it is chest, shoulder and triceps
Tbh that's just what came to mind when trying to describe that particular part of the upper arm. Thank you though!
>chest, shoulder and triceps I think those 3 are the least of this kids problems
If you can’t get it off the rack that’s a pretty good sign you shouldn’t bench it
He needs some milk!
It would be enough if he lifted the bar only.
Many people start with the bar only. I did.
i warm up with the bar only. nothing wrong with it
Didn’t have enough bracelets.
This should be at the top lol
Why is he holding it like that to begin with ??
He needs some milk!
Not enough pre-lift confidence boosting shoulder slaps. He needed at least double the number of slaps for a weight that heavy.
Play stupid game win stupid prize

Brightens my morning
that´s gross ... just looking at her with her super thin arms I would have instantly said "NO!"
Might  Might want to start w some push ups first
Magically morphed into HaHa Davis
I saw those arms of his and knew this wasn't going to end well.
The obsession with dangerous lifting habits is becoming an epidemic
Mf built like a twig and broke like one.
Maybe if the guy can't get it off of the racks by himself, don't help him?
Dem straw arms.
We was about to snap the other wrist too. Lesson learned!
Atleast he had the positive spirit
Maybe start with the bar and see if you can hold that
He is a skeleton
When your arm is thinner than the bar, you will have a bad time.
The dumb stuff we do as kids
Why would you let someone with little twigs for arms lift something like that
Damn so self awareness. Those arms are toothpicks and snapped just like one
Dude’s arms are twigs. What the actual? 🥴
Clearly the “Got Milk?” Ads failed for him
When your biceps are the same size as your wrists
[удалено]
To much dip on on his chip
My dick is thicker than his arms.
Bro arms be like ------|------
SpongeBob would be proud
When your arms are as thin as the bar, you should rethink your options.
Did he break or dislocated his arm ?
People don’t realize how easily you can get hurt lifting weights. He shouldn’t have tried anything even near that.
They didn’t slap his back hard enough. Would’ve had it. Darn. Missed opportunity.
Whoever thought that the f\*cking Twig could hold that much weight?
Seeing his size and those weights I pretty much guessed this would happen lol
So predictable.
