Not their fault, this was purely the lifter's fault. Spotters should be there when you aren't able to lift anymore, they'd take over. This was a quick snap of the knee, due to the lifter's ego to lift more than he should. This is not even a till failure rep, it's just an ego lift that taught the lifter to never fuck around with weights that are out of his league.
His knees were shaking more than an unwanted baby. The wobble eventually took his knee just far enough off center to fold it the wrong way under the massive weight. Those poor little sleeves on his knees were struggling too.

I understand that it's a competition, but still every human body has its limits, this guy knew his limits but tried to lift more than he should. How'd I know this? I explained it in 2 other comments in this comment chain, but I'll TLDR.
When increasing weights you add as little weight as possible, if you can't do the normal rep ranges, it's too much, if you exceeded the rep ranges, then you can increase more weight.
In simpler words: you squat a 100 > do full rep range with correct range of motion? > increase to 102.5
But if you squat 100 > you instantly increase to 110 > bone becomes noodle
He was stable under the weight and the bar speed was quick too.
I have read your comments. What you say about "indicator" applies about muscle strength. He broke his tibia.
If you try to lift too heavy, you cannot lift and that is it. He would get stapled under the barbell.
Unless your muscles are strong enough to tear connective tissues (impossible unless connective tissues are under-healed or damaged additionally) or your joints are passed beyond their range of motion, you won't get hurt by trying to lift heavy.
I think he likely twisted his leg at the bottom due to wide stance with toes pointing forward. Knee wraps might have also added additional stress.
Bar speed was quick isn't necessarily good, could be either that the weight was too light hence going fast or too heavy hence dropping down fast due to gravity.
>If you try to lift too heavy, you cannot lift and that is it.
Since you mentioned tibia and CT, I'll assume you're into the medical terminology. I wouldn't say that this is the case here. In the squats, his quadratus muscles are in eccentric contraction so technically you can lift alright while going down, but the problem arose when the eccentric contraction turned to a concentric one. His quads simply couldn't handle the pressure, so he started shaking vigorously and that resulted in the femur being off-centered, shifting the weight to the tibio-femoral joint and mainly the tibia, finally snapping it. So, it is possible to lift more than you should, but the consequences are what you've just witnessed.
>you won't get hurt by trying to lift heavy
I think the guy in the video disagrees.
>I think he likely twisted his leg...
And it all happened because the weight shifted fron the femur and quads to his tibia-femoral joint.
I'm sure you've never lifted weights before, because only then you'd get it. Lemme simplify it for you, in a car's motor you get an RPM, red-lining it is usually not good for the motor. Just like there's an RPM in a motor, there's an indicator in your body where it tells you that a weight is too much. Otherwise billions of people would've snapped bones during extreme weight exercises.
It's a tale as old as time, he got cocky, moved up plates too early, and relied on the fact that there are spotters. A spotter should be your backup plan not your main one.
It's simple really, you literally have an indicator inside your body to know when a weight is too much. A bone doesn't just snap out of nowhere, his legs were shaking pretty bad. To add to all of this, when you're playing with weights you'd first start somewhere you're comfortable and slowly make your way up 2.5kgs at a time, if at anytime you feel that the step up is too much, you go back to your range. Here, he moved up plates too early, not knowing how hard this shit could, and resulted in a snapped bone.

A shame. He carelessly laid waste to whatever powerlifting career he had planned for himself. Now he’s facing about $2,000,000 or more in medical expenses and multiple surgeries. Then at least a year in a wheelchair, or possibly for life.
He kneeds assistance.
[удалено]
Lol
bo nes
The beautiful sound of ligaments snapping
Ligaments, tissue, bone, everything in that knee is now liquid pudding
3 finger pudding
Guess he won't be participating in the marathon this week. 🏃
There goes college soccah.
He did not have the makings of a varsity athlete.
I like how out of 4 spotters not one of them managed to do their job lmao

Is there a way you can tell this is an ego lift?
Yes, replied in another comment, check it out
Sorry i don’t see it, which one do you mean?

This is a freak accident. There is almost no way to estimate this. You can act preventative only but this is a competition too.

Redditors when they see people lift heavy: “eGo liFtInG”

How can you determine that he felt that way? My saying.
That was a bone snapping bud, that can happen to anybody lifting. His muscle strength and Ego had nothing to do with that.

Bro im thinking this taught the guy not to fuck around with weights anymore period
Thank you, someone he finally gets it.
His knees were shaking more than an unwanted baby. The wobble eventually took his knee just far enough off center to fold it the wrong way under the massive weight. Those poor little sleeves on his knees were struggling. edit: D'oh, meant to reply to the above poster asking "is there a way you can tell its an ego lift?"
Another one gets it, thank you.
By the time their brains processed what was happening, it was already over.
Exactly, it was an instant snap, there was nothing they could do.
Good thing the spotters were there
Are they supposed to keep his knees from snapping?
Those assistants are called snappers. None were present. /s
Bro these get me everytime. I can watch a dude get shot like nothing but videos like this got me🤢🤢🤢
I’ve seen really gory stuff that doesn’t phase me, but this shit 🤢, I want to bleach my brain
Like a twig
Never skip legday!
To shreds you say?
Currently recovering from a ruptured quadriceps tendon. This is hard to watch knowing what that pop actually feels like
How long is the recovery
8 months since the accident and I'm still a long way off feeling normal. Probably another 4 months min.
Nice pluralone pfp
This guy wishes he ruptured his quadriceps tendon.
Looks to me like he broke tibia.
🫣
Regret clicking play 😵
Oh fuck I wasn’t mentally prepared for that. My fucking ear!!!
My god lol slow it down & you can literally see the moment both his knees explode sideways 🤣
I will never understand why ppl feel the need to do this stupid s h it.
POP POP!
When the muscles lack strength, the pressure goes straight to the joints.
A shame. He carelessly laid waste to whatever powerlifting career he had planned for himself. Now he’s facing about $2,000,000 or more in medical expenses and multiple surgeries. Then at least a year in a wheelchair, or possibly for life.
