Hi Thibs, do you have any idea what happened to the olympic lifter Janos Baranyai after his injury in the '08 Olympics in Bejing? Just wondered if his arm is working in day-to-day life after that injury, and if he will ever be able to compete again?
It just looks so extremely painful, and sort of scares me a bit when I do my own olympic lifts… And i did feel like my arm started to bend slightly backwards in a set of one-arm dumbell snatches that I did som weeks ago, and it hurt mildly for a week or two…
What is the chance of gettin an injury like Baranyai got? And what can I do to avoid it?
