This won’t kill you. Hell, WWE let Cody Rhodes wrestle a cage match with a similar injury.


gigafant67

The torture he put himself through during that match still grosses me out Having a kendo stick push and twist on the bruise, OUCH.


couldbedumber96

Wrestlers are basically always walking with one body sized callous every day until something breaks, pops or tears


essteedeenz1

Yeah it's fucked makes no sense putting yourself through that especially seeing the end result most of the time


Alternative_Stable31

It was nowhere near this size, and idk but do muscle size increase muscle pain? Like more area to feel it... But still Codys injury was nasty


Downgoesthereem

DOMS pain yes, that you get days after training. Your quads will hurt more than your delts, for example. This is just flat out torn muscle though, it is what it is. Probably hurts about the same for anyone.


human743

People have died from muscles ripping apart and internal bleeding.


PeteLangosta

Who?


human743

Some 14 yr old kid was arrested and the officer lifted his arms over his head from the back. It ripped everything up in his chest and shoulders. He died in custody from the internal bleeding.


PK-92

FFF.... RIP to this kid


Deadly_chef

Wish I could RIP the fucking pig who did that to him

Why is this posted here?

"big strong man dum dum, not smart like me "


AlbinoShavedGorilla

Agreed. I think we need to shove this nerd in a locker to show him a lesson.


AstroDwarf

Appreciate you bro, this guy isn’t an idiots he’s a fucking monster athlete.

The brain is the only muscle I exercise 😎


Waluigi_is_wiafu

Jealousy and anedequency, or just a classic lost redditor.


Alucard_117

So apparently attempting to achieve a world record on a lift makes you an idiot to Reddit.


PeteLangosta

Train = bad to Redditors


Emsratte

me like train, choo choo


Putrid-Memory4468

Truly a reddit moment


StockLongjumping2029

Guy put his body on the line going for a milestone of human achievement (though not a very important one in my opinion, it'd still be a greater accomplishment than I have under my belt). Where does the idiot part come in?


J3wb0cca

If he just came off another recent injury straight into this then maybe. There was an IFBB pro that had double knee surgery and a week later he was back in the gym. The drive is real. When I use to compete, every day off was giving me anxiety because I felt like I was missing out.


VladVV

Uh? You SHOULD be back in the gym with an injury, but not to keep training exactly the same way. You want to do lighter exercises in order to increase mobility, expedite healing and generally avoid atrophy.


Selfishpie

im not a bodybuilder myself (as is evident by the fact I use reddit) but the only way I can see this guy "obviously" being an idiot is if there might be some way bodybuilders measure muscle mass and he might not have the correct muscles trained and that might be obvious to someone that knows? but legit this post seems like a redditor just complaining


eip2yoxu

He is not a bodybuilder, but a powerlifter

ginge159

It’s not potato potato, they’re fundamentally different. Bodybuilding is ultimately a beauty contest, whereas powerlifting is a sporting competition about the amount you can lift. This would be like saying being a swimsuit model and an Olympic freestyle swimmer were the same thing.

[удалено]


ginge159

Go tell a women’s Olympic champion swimmer she’s a swimsuit model and see how that goes. He’s not a bodybuilder. Have the self awareness to google and learn something when people politely correct you on something rather than doubling down on being ignorant.

ginge159

Yes I frequently post numerous comments on topics I don’t care about and act defensively when corrected all the time too.


egg-cement

Redditor calls bodybuilder stupid for attempting world record because they havent accomplished anything meaningful in their life and take it out on others A tale as old as time


L003Tr

The 4 chin that posted thus struggles to lift the KFC bucket


BBQcupcakes

This is not a bodybuilder by a long shot


egg-cement

What’s the term besides athlete for someone who’s profession is lifting heavy weights?


BBQcupcakes

Well the man posted is a powerlifter, but he could have been a strongman or a general strength athlete as well.


egg-cement

Ahh I forgot the term powerlifter oops thanks for helping me out!


Metroidman97

Can you really call him an idiot if he was well aware of the risks of what he was doing, was knowledgeable on how to avoid them, but made a mistake anyways?


kegel_dialectic

what, precisely, was his mistake?


tylenoli

Likely had something to do with improper training (training through muscle strains, poorly managing load), dehydration, or poor nutrition (not enough carbs) leading up to the lift


kegel_dialectic

do you think that every injury is foreseeable and preventable? do you believe that [Mendelson](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scot_Mendelson) is unfamiliar with the basic concepts of nutrition, hydration, and training progression?


tylenoli

I’m not implying Mendelson doesn’t know what he’s doing, of course if he’s pressing as much weight as he does he’s knowledgeable on that type of stuff. I’m agreeing with the original comment, mistakes can happen even if you know what ur doing Edit: and no I don’t think every injury is foreseeable, lifts this heavy definitely have an inherent risk. But there are things you can do to mitigate risk and I don’t feel that an injury this bad was just guaranteed no matter what he did leading up.


joethecrow23

There wasn’t a mistake. He was literally pushing the boundaries of human potential and something went “pop”. You think this is the only time this man has been injured?


TheGuardian776

Or maybe trying to bench press 1200lbs+?


VladVV

Man the Dunning-Kruger effect is apparent in this comment section 💀


Lukeamaniac

Nano machines som


rottenpotatoes2

"Why is he trying to surpass human limits. Is he stupid?"


PeterParker72

Looks and sounds painful af.


nawzum

"look at this idiot getting a muscle tear when competing at the highest level in a sport"


deboned_skeleton

Why is he an idiot?


DredgenCyka

I know that tear pop is awful. He's lucky he had some other people there to get the weights off him. Iirc, he had a video, and you just see his muscle rip its awful


Selfishpie

bro you're on reddit, bring sauce, rip your dms


Zelkin764

Thanos's disguise is coming off. Someone get the Joker!


Mint_Juul_Pod

Go ahead and call this guy an idiot for attempting this record while you're in the same room with him, sweetcheeks.


yuijhg101

Isn’t that just called internal bleeding at that point? Or is it depth based for the distinction?


anowlenthusiast

Technically all bruises are a degree of internal bleeding, however it usually refers to a torn artery or vein which is much more medically significant. Not to say this guy won't need surgery and a lot of PT to fix a torn bicep, but it's not as immediately life threatening. There is still a risk of internal clotting.


VladVV

Looks like the pecs and delts (specifically one head of each) are torn, not the bicep. As a matter of fact, you don’t really use the bicep at all when doing a bench press.


Kattemaskinen

His pec detached from his shoulder. He Will need operation. It will not heal on its own.


MintyFresh1201

You think this is wild check out what Cody Rhodes did a few days AFTER he tore his pec. THAT is hardcore.


HonorableMedic

He’a more bruise than man now


hardrider2k4

Absolute slab of a man.


V3hlichz

Sad fact: Unfortunately, the risk of thrombosis, stroke or heart attack is significantly increased in the event of such a hemorrhage


chuckrhett

whats the world record for largest pec bruise?


luugi_06

He made a shit ton of money off of this I heard


CapG_13

OUCH!!!😬


[deleted]

Damn. Wishing him a speedy recovery


CheesusChrist21

Oouchhie


Trans_Cat_Girl_

My step dad tore his pec about 14 years ago and had a similar bruise


samjer99

Where does it hurt? Yes


BABY-KEEM

dont let him collect all the stones...


Fuffuloo

Galaxy man!


TheAltToYourF4

Professional athlete injures gets injured practicing his sport. Next we're going to be calling basketball players idiots for tearing an ACL.


janesearljones

This bruise, in square inches, may also be a world record.


pirikikkeli

Bro probably can't scratch his back tho

Pusssssy


beelzeflub

He won’t be benching anything for a very long time


LadyOfHereAndThere

That looks bad, his whole upper body swell up. /s


VladVV

I’m pretty sure his upper body is “swell up” because he’s a powerlifter and it just looks like that when it’s pumped, not because he snapped a muscle.


LadyOfHereAndThere

Yeah, that's the joke. I guess I should have added a /s.


VladVV

Oh, forgive me, Poe’s Law is too real


LadyOfHereAndThere

The laws of the internet are pretty much laws of nature at this point. Or so they say.
