Marc Bartley 1205 Squat Dump @ Powerstation Pro

[THEPRESTIGE1995]

The scream was hilarious in half speed lol

[MetalHead510]

HHHHNNNGGGG

[JimmyD0YLE]

that was tight

[benchfordeath]

that was fucking brutal...damn i love this sport

[TwentyBux0rz]

Wtf are all of those spotters there for exactly?

[nikolatesla08]

wtf is the point of the spotters? they rarely catch the weight....

[sammcl16890]

@nikolatesla08 That's not true at all.

[iluvgmas2]

@nikolatesla08 apparently Marc tore his quad, 99% of the time on a failed squat attempt the spotters do an excellent job of getting the bar in the rack, since the lifter suffered an injury he couldn't support any of the weight, now there's 1200 pounds of iron basically in free fall, even the most attentive spotters wouldn't have caught that

it looks like one of the spotters got hit in the knee with the plates

[GoPioneersLaser0]

Hell yes he could squat 800 lbs without gear. Gear'll only add so much to your lifts.

[luckyluiz]

fuck that your the fucking man fuck the haters!!

[brandixie]

ppl think you throw on gear and automatically your muscles and nervous system stop working, i challenge all you fuckers talking shit to put on a squat suit and see how well you do, probably get thrown on your fuckin faces because you dont have the strength to stay in the groove

[resistance156]

Agreed. The gear vs. raw debate has been "getting old" for a long time... Have respect for both, if you don't, then try both and you will. When you get to a certain strength level, gear becomes a safety issue as well.

[hyoshida55]

i probably watched this 20 times...

i still cringe when 'that' happens...

spud inc belt/straps are awesome, btw.

[Apjooz]

Lifting suits prevent injuries.

[natekid4]

powerlifters are way more scary people than olympic lifters.  they should put it in the olympics.

[muscleturtle]

I only have one comment... why dont these feds set up a system so that if the guy misses like that, theres something to catch the bar before it crushes him. Not a power rack or anything, but rather chains or just stand up stands just to stop the weight!

I hate seeing brothers of iron getting injugred! If you have the balls to attempt fat PR's and records, then do it, but lets be safe!

[jimmcd1234]

yeah the scream is your first clue

[ohbabycarpediem]

was this where he tore his quad?

[ohurley11]

I don't understand why powerlifters are allowed to use so much equipment. Take away all the wraps and suits and make this guy do a legit squat. The whole set up seems like an injury waiting to happen. Do you think he could squat 800lbs without any equipment? That would be more impressive.

[jimmcd1234]

And skiers should stay off those double diamonds slopes or better yet take off those dangerous skis and slide down the snow-covered mountains on their asses.

If you don't like geared powerlifting, get the fuck off my videos.

[rox31313]

Now THAT's a response. +1

[ElPorteroBestia]

You fucking tell him Jim!!!

[canadasoundsgood]

BRAVO,,, the equipment is only one aspect,,

just like a guitar for a musician..

with or without equipment MARC is as strong as FUCK!

[6reevesy9]

raped lmfao

[gablebarber]

Amen Jim!

[979769]

your a fucking dumb shit. if you do 800 w no equiptment thats a fucking acl/mcl or any number of things waiting to happen. theres a reason that all that stuff was made. hes right, slide on your ass.

[rockhard2407]

ya could see that coming ahead of time. a little flinch in his right quad before the main collapse.

and as far as power racks? they make it harder to judge and can in them selfs be a hazard.lifters and spotters lose fingers and even hands getting them caught between the bar and the safety pins.

[franktheweapon]

lol "TURN THE DAMN MUSIC UP!!!"

[raider75alljesus]

was that his leg or his suit that you could here rip

[jimmcd1234]

That was his quad muscle tearing.

[MalyJay]

Why are squat racks or pins not allowed?

[jimmcd1234]

A power rack is just not part of the sport when you're on the platform.

[tomp2400]

that looked bad. feel sorry for the guy. are powerlifters not allowed to squat in a power rack? is there something in the rules that prevents it?

[jimmcd1234]

In competition we squat either out of a monolift like the one shown here or walk squats out of stands. There are no power racks allowed in competition.

[tomp2400]

thanks for clearing that up. seems like injuries like this wouldnt be as severe if pins had caught the bar. With that kind of weight there's not much spotters can do to stop it! I have a lot of respect for anyone that would even try that weight

[jimmcd1234]

I have seen safety chains used in meets. It's not a bad idea.

[CoreySpringer]

Hell.

[bearwolfden]

Man that was bad. Good luck with rehab Marc. Thoughts & prayers are with you for a full recovery... and the power to come back stronger then ever.

[xbox690]

that didet look good is he ok
