So, there are no safety standards that would have improved his chances of not getting hurt? Is that what you’re trying to say?
He could have just not lifted. Maybe he could have gone golfing instead.
Not so clever a dodge.
I’ll ask you straight up once more: Is there any other way that he could have lifted that weight which would have been safer?
It’s an easy question. The potential answers are “yes” or “no.”
For a board the claims to be for hardcore testosterone fuelled men, I just see people who can talk a lot but few who can walk back a big squat!
Apparently the guy in the video couldn’t “walk back a big squat.”
Is he less of a man in your estimation?
What the fuck is your problem?
I don’t have one, do you?
At least he had the BALLS to attempt it. Instead of entering into a mental masturbation contenst online.
Is that what you’re doing? You are part of this thread so that must be what you’re doing.
You know what tho, unless you plan on walking out 800lbs sometime in the near future then whatever answer is given doesn’t matter a toss to you.
Oh I think I understand. Unless I am able to do it I am not worthy of commenting. Is that right? Well, in case you missed it, I have not commented as yet on his lift. Did you notice that. No?
But keep in mind this simple fact, when something becomes public knowledge it then becomes “comment worthy.” Matters not if the people commenting can do it or not.
With your logic sports commentators would be obsolete, unless they could run as fast, jump as high, or do as well as the athletes that they’re commenting on.
See how nutty your thinking is? No probably not.
You’re jst arguing for the sake of arguing.
I didn’t know that I was arguing. Up to this post I was only asking some questions. Am I allowed to do that If I can’t squat 800 pounds?
In fact, are you allowed to comment on this thread since you can’t squat 800 pounds?
By the way how much do you have to be able to squat before you can ask a question?
Can you understand your flawed logic yet? No? You might need more time in the class room and less time in the weight room.
And before you say it, no it won’t be of benefit to anyone here because anyone who is squatting close to 800lbs (maybe 3 people?) already knows how to handle the weight.
And what does that have to do with the topic at hand, or the question that I asked? Nothing.
How do they know? Under the bar experience. Saying to do something, and them attempting ti with 500+lb on your back is a completly different story.
I assume the guy in the video had a great deal of experience. I guess anyone can make a mistake huh? But what could he have done to avoid this mistake? Oh…sorry…I forgot…you don’t want to talk about that with anyone unless they can squat 800 pounds. LOL
Well, thanks for your comments but I can’t say that you’ve added a thing to this thread.

So let me get this straight, the ONLY thing you want to know, and the ONLY thing you’re commenting on is whether or not this could hav ebeen prevented?
It’s pretty clear nothing could have been done. But now you’re just flogging a dead horse and attempting to pick apart my post. Kinda sad really.
Like I said, maybe thinking about how to prevent an injury while walking a big squat out is important to you. I’m more concerned with the actual squat itself.
Like I said, the conclusions you would reach would hardly be of any value to anyone anyway since the majority of guys squatting big know the risks they’re taking and know well that there’s pretty much sweet FA that they could do to prvent such a situation.
