Benchpress accidents

[TBaker1964]

Only complete idiots don't wrap their f*cking thumb around the bar - they don't call it suicide grip for nothing - get what they deserve :D

[stevensinger699]

1080p at its finest

[JimBean0587]

Most of these accidents could of been prevented if the dumbfucks used a proper grip (USING THEIR THUMBS) instead of the suicide grip.

Stupid idiots.

[therealgergory]

I've never understood why ppl dont use their thumbs while benching. Sorta like a fashion trend!!

[criscros7]

I never thought that people engaging in the pastime of benchpressing were particularly bright fellas, but this takes the cake. Heck, even bonobos know how to use their thumbs.

[RattleheadAnthony]

What is the model of the calculator you took this with?

[lazarandrei2008]

suiside grip ,do i need to say mode

[Mendelevium146]

what happened to the first one??Did his arm broke???

[DANIAC262]

They dont call it the suicide grip for nothing. I used to use that grip but found out that you can put up more weight if you squeeze the bar as hard as you can. It's weird how grip strength helps bench press.

[XxMistaClutchxX]

and thats what happens when idiots use the death grip and dont use their thumbs

[619badazz13]

u know some of them dumb asses tore ther pecks ,

[HISHAM931]

wow wtf r the spotters doing fkn masturbating in the corner and anywayz most of these guys r not gripping it properly

[lou2bozzy]

Thumbs up for Spotters !!

[grig24x]

LAMAO!!!!!  0:19 LOLL

[GrandMasterBison]

holy shit was this filmed in the 80s???

[thorfoxxx]

wow this rivals avatar

[xjax10]

rofl cant even grip correctly

[Razortceps]

What the fuck was that lol 0:18

[zelexboy]

Thumbs up for the guys who don't know how to use theirs !

[lukachoo]

@zelexboy I understand what you're saying but when you bench if you want to target your triceps, you use what we call a false grip which is with no thumbs. These guys should of had a more adequate spot and should do that much weight with false grip but I though I'd clarify on why they weren't using their thumbs.

[zelexboy]

@lukachoo Ah ok ! Didn't knew that !... I'm less dumb now, thx ;)

[byronkyron12345]

THATS WHY WE CALL IT "SUICIDE GRIP"!! USE YOUR THUMBS BOYS AND GIRLS!!!!!!

[TheChristfollowers2]

good job spotters

[promercher10]

Man the quality was better than 2 x Ati Radeon 5970's! My computer couldn't handle so much of Multi - Threading....... sad. :L

[Cosmicpope666]

@promercher10

Very few comments on youtube make me genuinely LOL

[Caligula442]

I saw nothing but what looked like a bunch of space nebula pictures. Nice 240p resolution putz..

[thesix107]

@Caligula442 They are all youtube vids. So he's basically taping them as he watches the clips he wants. I recognize quite a few of them.

[MerkyOne]

every...single...one of them using suicide grip it doesnt make you cool everybody -.-

[Budlall]

what a bunch of idiots..and these suppose to be prosessionals...incorrect form for doing bench press..your thumg should wrap around the bar to prevent this shit

[shadowspirt4121]

Bad spotters most of the time. You dont just let it go, you want to make sure they can do it first.

[Budlall]

@shadowspirt4121 no..bad form....the bar slipped down their arm onto their chest because their thumb wasnt wrapped around the bar

[mirellale]

Serves those idiots right for holding on to the bar with their thumb on the same side as the rest of the fingers!

[Inmyownleague]

you see too many people try to do weights way over their limit instead of just starting off low then gradually building their way up...............but no i have 2 push my limit ........... WELL THERE'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DO THAT

[G0dF0ther]

@Inmyownleague thats not why thses ppl droped the wieght on them self, its becuase they either did have a coach to tell them how to grip the bar or your coach sucks.

[kalelg4]

That hurt me!!!

[deejaylovesandi]

Notice its all open grip...

[unshutoptic1]

@deejaylovesandi ...yep. it hasn't occured to them that we have a thumb to wrap around things

[carlsteen]

@deejaylovesandi yes. The grip is very very importent

[wolfLaZoR]

0:48

nuclear bomb

[marineman410410]

why the fuck does everyone use that dumb ass grip?!

[QuickyBaby]

notice how most of these people are using suicide grips

[Utubepirate]

the one at about 47 is my fav. He folds up like a drowned mouse like the instant he loses it

[djambi84]

knows ur limit all!

[zx6rtt]

WTF

why did you put Vaseline on the lens of the camera ??

[LOLuPooped]

[senomad]

all these clips have one thing in common the grip was to wide

[montevideoGT]

underwater films present...

[Junije1]

@montevideoGT ROFLMAO!!! :DDDD

[PokeTradersComm]

FAIL hes recording it on his camera. I hate fags that do this

[rinconsurfers]

Those are some awsome spotters at 0:35 thats what spottings about not letting the person get hurt.

[xHizukax]

nice job to those losers..

and by the way, nice recording underwater...

[HellenicCharge]

holy shit

[the20hunk]

thumb less grip + heavy weight + wide hands on bar = Bench press accidents

[shizenhoward]

yea, not using thumbs, can help with lifing more weight, but why do it, its just dangerous

[xmikerx666]

I wonder why the no thumb grip is nicknamed the suicide grip? hmmm...out of curiousity, wtf are the spotters doing? 

[dossi1984]

SUKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[dan832]

that fat dude at 0.46 lol nearly split him in half i wonder if he shit himself!

[batman9944]

omg that really fat guy

[IDODUMBTHINGS69]

quality blowwwsss



[dxarmy94]

0:48 OUCH!!!!!

[ryan215553]

i was benching today and the wieght fell and hit me on my chin and i only hade 1 spotter to help me!

[marHAVIK]

All of those accidents could've been avoided by wrapping with the finger.

[1konig1]

@sololamer its called a suicide grip. alot of power lifters use it. i prefer wrapping though

[Cha0sLord93]

0:37 I cringed

[chinwutai]

The 2nd and 3rd ones looked murderous...Dammmmmmmmmm

[borgoff55]

lol they call it suicide grip for a reason

[DHTvirus88]

mdr sa m'fait rire sérieux peut pas s'enpêcher de rire quand tu voit les morceaux que c'est sa n'arrive même pas a porter 100kg alors que voila normalement des mecs comme sa sa porte 150 facile met la trop ptdr ^^

[anormaluser]

obviously they are people that dont know their own limits, and quite stupid that some of them are not graping the bar properly. but tbh i think some of this is fake. Gives to me the impresion they 'let go' the bar all of a sudden. Maybe im wrong ¬¬

[barrocks187]

@sololamer thats called a suicide grip as you can see why

people use it cuz it puts the weight more on the lower chest muscles

but a lot of people lift this way including professionals

[1974nyarlathotep]

The spotter is supposed to prevent this kind of thing............

[spixter38]

@sololamer It's called proper powerlifting form, num nuts.

[macgiver351]

we would some even try to lift weight they clearly cant lift

[jodakin2001]

...we should do away with spotters LMAO...let survival of the fittest take effect lol...not srs...hopefully none of the guys were seriously injured. this is why i never lift weight that i have doubts on

[grandmasterking]

Fuck....just..... fuck.....

[urmother137]

These accidents could have been prevented if the spotters were in the right spot:p

[jodakin2001]

@urmother137 or we could allow natural selection to take effect....im an asshole sometimes....

[burmistrz1994]

AŁA o lol

[ElRealitoJalisco]

How the hell does the bar fall?!! If it slips wear gloves and get better grip!!!

[boxinabag]

@ElRealitoJalisco They use a false grip or "risk grip". They dont have their thumbs under it, not allowed in bench comps and extremely dangerous, people can die from this.

[ACxLite]

it looks like the people benching tried to do something they were not ready for and attempted it becuz they had a spotter

[FancyGapClawhammer]

Great job taking other peoples' personal videos and compiling them to make your own, great job.

[murphy0847]

i only saw one person getting seriously hurt and that's the biggest guy who ended up injuring his spleen other than that the others were fine

[XXXXXpimptaddyone]

these little guys use the suicide grip because their forearms are not strong enough to grip the weight. It should probably be a clue that you are trying to lift too much weight if your forearms hurt trying it.

[thehottfox]

wth was that thing at second to last a bear?

[volcomvs]

oh god!

[NikkoThePinoi]

that is why you wrap your thumb around the bar, putting it like that does not affect performance

it is just plain stupid to not to, first of all its safer and second of all you wont get any stronger when you dont wrap it around

[hikrydik]

0.19 tht is bad..

[Abdulrk1]

ouchhhh

[Abdulrk1]

ouchhhh

[lumifax]

filmed with a 1999 cellphone camera?

[Mysticlemons]

excellent quality vid. amazing soundtrack !

[crimsonfeuerill]

LOL :48 completely thought he was gonna pop

[Liebdichmausii]

be carefull guys

[youtubkicksass]

A bad combination of a spotter and and position equals to this and a bruised chest.

[mohammad112388]

Diggin that hd quality

[14Nonamer]

lol

[glupster123]

@sololamer its called a suicide grip... suppose to work the chest more but thats debatable

[madden2231]

dang these spotter suck

[visualkei72]

those are some great spotters.. real pros.

[itsyaboiDRAY]

@visualkei72 its not the spotters fault the guys jst dropped it, theyre there to help if they cant press it, not catch a 300+ pound bar that suddenly dropped out of their hand

[visualkei72]

@itsyaboiDRAY

not all of them did a bad job. first guy was definitely spotting his guy, and so were the last 2.

but the rest were just careless.

[muzimuzi]

how the hell do they drop it on them - or were all of them using sucidal grip?

[ramostarr]

dude they r the worse spotters ever your bettr off not working out at all with spotters like that

[emedi1]

@ramostarr how they pull the bar up as soon as it falls

[ramostarr]

oh man I dnt evn want to continue with this this video is gross but I feel they should just had there hands there the whole time

[strictlybuddah]

[Kev0n05]

thats gonna leave a mark!

[Cooter1Brown]

The video quality is VERY BAD.

Keep videos of this quality off youtube. Please remove it.

[TheDanyyyyy1]

quality.......yaaach

[AtlantisRising1]

Oh......kay...

[1357ENRIQUE]

@avoskorm123 SPAM!!!

[mr12333]

idiots...when you bench press, you always start off light..until you can bench that amount, you add a little more..you keep doing it more n more untill you can do the same # of reps all round..by starting of with light weights, you work the muscle much better, because your slowly stretching compressing it out. too much weight makes the muscles stiff..in doing that you achiever nothing..this is like an elastic band..when you straight hard, the band becomes uneven..

[mr12333]

i found, working with lighter weights, ive gained more muscle..because the muscles are worked much better...heavy weights are not as effective..believe it or not..

[nikolatesla08]

@ mr12333 it depends what you are looking to gain from your workouts, if you want to look strong lift light weights with short rests, if you want to be strong lift heavy weights with long rests

[mr12333]

@ nikolatesla Yea thats true...but like the point iam getting @ , is you have to listen to your body..if you struggle to lift the required amount of weight, obviously its too heavy..meaning u gotta lift lighter..only when you can lift the lighter stuff THEN you go heavy....that goes both ways..@ the end of the day, you dont want to "strain" or "tense" cause that doesnt work the muscle..so the key is to take it in steps..lift what you can and add more if you can lift it..

[nikolatesla08]

@mr12333 i spend to much fuc*king time on you tube

[still2weirdfoU]

and their all using the "suicide" grip

[gulbag123]

thumbs round the bar stupid

[Zoidypoo89]

Seriously, the quality of this video is unbelievably bad. I've seen some of the original videos here on youtube, and they have ten times better quality so what the hell have you been doing with it?!

[ilikeyoutub07]

0:18 .. dumbass

[mosconeisback]

The clarity is unbelievable... the resolution... the color saturation... Carl Zeiss would be jealous!

[bigjoe454]

The spotter was desgusting on the first one.

2nd was unhelpful, couldn't have been stopped.

[6n2r]

Great video of somebody's video thanks for the hard work.

[HagugulleyPSN]

This would not happen if they gripped with their thumbs. I see people say it's more "comfortable" for them to use no thumbs. Doesn't look that comfortable now does it?

[guilherme09]

Amen, This dude at the gym i go to uses no thumbs ... I want this to happens to him because I keep telling him to grip with his thumbs and he doesnt listen... thats not emo is it? I hate that guy

[shyguy32]

LMAO...you wish ill will towards and hate him because he won't take your advice?

[SaosL]

@HagugulleyPSN tru tru tru!!

[4epindrik]

ziggyyoung  .. ti prav =)

[lexmark136]

MY GOD!

0;18

the guy must have pulverized every rib in his chest...

[Turok2evil]

@lexmark136

lol ; it was soo funny though

[pojo205]

you can actually die from the bar dropping on your chest.

my biggest fear when on the flat bench is that the welds (the safety things that hold the bar when at rest) will snap under the weight.

[ziggyyoung]

нех открытым хватом жать.

[dumbellknight]

ahahahahaha, suicide grip, building egos and making men scream like women since 1972! x_X

[youngjeeper]

why the fuck do these people put their hands like that?? I've seen guys press with their thumbs and fingers on the same side like this, its stupid. Look at what happened to each one here.....it slipped off their palms because they weren't holding onto the bar.

[antho68NYR]

because that way you bench with your pecs, not with your tri's

[cbc15156]

i'm sure they learned their lesson!

[afterthefact15]

@youngjeeper its called suicide grip for a reason. if you can perform it correctly then you are able to increase the weight performed because of the angle of the wrist.

[yovansan23]

Freakn idiots! Never try lifting something tht you cant even lift from the bars; Now you suffer the consequences for being ignorant!!

[Uploadvidz]

fcking weaklings shouldnt overestimate their own strength

[endwarful]

omg

[IIh1tm4nII]

i don't understand how the bar slips out of your hands. If you have a proper grip it should never slip no matter how much weight there is..

[Mrdukefan76]

its called suicide grip were u hve ur thumb behind the bar so when u push it will sometimes slip off

[BA7500]

@IIh1tm4nII You quite rite, however they were performing a suicide grip. This means they cup the bar andare not locking it with their thumbs. It is believed you can produce more power with this grip, but I have been lifting my whole life and with the right training both grips will give the same power albeit one is much safer. Dont try suicide grip even with spotters, Ive seen guys break ribs and jaws from there mistakes.

[blackenedlegions]

why is that one guy wearing a gimp mask?

[DeaDSilenT03]

good job spotters on 0:36 haha

[sheemsheem]

omg this would hurt so much

[davenorr84]

every one of them assholes were using suicide grip, except the guy 2nd to the end.. use your thumbs morons.

[696TheDon696]

lmao suicide grip

[Cheeta1020]

@davenorr84, looks like they justified its name because everyone of thoes accidents looked pretty painful

[fuQl3snar]

it looks like some one video taped these off youtube and reposted em at :20 you can see the video loading

[JLPIMPIN1992]

that wasnt as bad as it couldve been tho...i dont think anyone died....

[seattle0002]

You have THUMBS people!! Fucking use them!!!!!

[Hyperbladex7]

oh shit omfg omg i just cant go on watching this shit....

[filipmisko]

I even feel pain while just looking at it! :D

[slayerguitar]

lmao, even with 4 spotters...

[mochaman3794]

I heard that if you position your thumbs that way, it is easier to lift heavy weights. It is very dangerous, but it works for some people.

[LustigerJunge1234]

im using that grip and its just more comfortable for me ^^

not that i can benchpress more because of that...but i startet using my thumb and then i tried it without and i was just more comfortable,maybe its the same with them,dont know...

[josebrid]

agree whit u, when u use ur thumbs makes u force ur wrists into a wierd position, like side ways. wich feels really wierd and i hate it.

[generosos87]

yeh that how i do it its always been more comfortable for me

[iGotsTheBigOne]

i will!
