What the hell did he do exactely?

LAM · 07-04-2002, 09:03 PM

he got caught in the power rack under 675 lbs w/o having the pins properly set. there were spotters but they can't do much under those circumstances.

His left knee scar looks like the one on my right knee....
1st operation: torn ACL
2nd: fractured patella..
3rd: removed pins from patella surgery
4th: second operation toremove broken wire that was around my knee after the patella surgery. Broke sometime during leg training. Possibly from 1200lb sets of leg presses
5th:3 holes from being scoped...
These are all on 1 knee..

**gopro** · 07-05-2002, 07:39 AM

When I first saw these pics in Flex, I almost got sick. That is horrible. I had a close friend that got crushed under 500 lbs in a vertical leg press when the locking mechanism failed. The doc said he might not walk again, and he was well on his way to turning pro. Well, he is walking and training, but that ended his competitive career.

**gopro** · 07-05-2002, 07:42 AM

Actually, I just looked at these pics. They are different from the one's in Flex, which show him actually caught under the bar with legs bent under him!

kuso · 07-05-2002, 09:36 AM

Call me sic....but I wanna see the flex pic`s

kuso · 07-05-2002, 09:44 AM

It`s kinda like ALBOB`s thread about "why we watch sports"

the sick part is that someone was actually standing in the gym taking pictures of him as he was being crushed by the weight!

kuso · 07-05-2002, 09:51 AM

I heard he was doing a photo shoot at the time

Thats exactly what I was thinking, must feel kinda f'ed up to be there crushed under almost 700 pounds and someone is there capturing the moment for you, how nice.

oh, well that would explain it.

**Mudge** · 07-05-2002, 10:25 AM

So he was probably pushing himself more than normal as well, guess that was a mistake.

**gopro** · 07-05-2002, 10:08 PM

He was doing a photo shoot with the top BBing photog, Chris Lund. The weight he was squatting, 675, was a weight he easily did the week before...it was not his strength that failed, it was simply his tendons/ligaments that just tore which completely disabled him.

He had 2 spotters standing by, and there was nothing anyone could do. The fact that Chris got it on film is only because he was taking rapid fire pictures of the entire descent...it happened so fast and his camera was still going!

Still, 675 lbs, 2 weeks from a show...not smart!
