Powerlifting Bloopers

[AC130EMPYREAL]

i guess that was a blooper? kinda?

[brink2992]

@dimitrov: exactly what I was thinking. I mean it's only 530. It's not like it's 1000. That would be understanding lol

[dimitrovBxr77]

Is it just me or are nearly all squatting accident videos the fault of the spotters. They fucking catch nothing!!

[skardinius]

lol hehe doggystyle indeed...

[COOPZILON]

Why did you shift the bar over your head?

[AC130EMPYREAL]

how come on power lifting squats the stance is so wide??

[BoshCraver]

@AC130EMPYREAL It vastly reduces the range of motion that the lifter has to go through and hence less work is performed by the muscles

[novan08]

@AC130EMPYREAL because an acceptable lift in powerlifting is that you break parallel (hip crease in line with the knee joint). A wider stance allows that to happen at a shorter distance compared to high-bar olympic style squatting

[breezeman199]

Very bad spotting.

[kenfo0]

those spotters are worthless.

[McMarkyMark]

lmfao whats the point of having 5 spotters if they're not going to help you when you need them?

[cray0308]

what happened? i see your left foot move, did u lose lumbar tightness? did u lose your valsalva?

ya, the spotters on either side, let the bar drop through. prolly lack of experience on their part.

[prodromos19]

i got the same think last week but with less weight (310 pounds) it went to slip behind and i pushed it up and the weight just brought me down. The time kinda froze then i felt like i m gonna have a big accident but i was ok and continue normally my workout. The next day my lower back muscles were soar like a i did a heave dead lift

[stayflyryry]

lol not 530??

[0587dave]

wtf why did you replay it and say you got it doggy style haha thats a fail in itself

[tlast2O12dude]

lol at the pause hahahah

[ALLEN80Z28]

five spotters and the only one who looked like he may of helped was the one behind you, i hate when spotters aint any good lol

[mohammad112388]

He looked up, thats where he went wrong. You supposed to either look straight or at a 30% angle below you.

[Wiegieboard]

@mohammad112388 LOL good trolling but seriously, someone'll get hurt if you keep posting like that. Idiots on youtube don't know any better.

[kenfo0]

@mohammad112388 that has NOTHING to do with what happened.  And no, you don't want your head down.

[Djallen2000]

the title says blooper(s) there was only one. false advertisment, i want my money back!

[jazzgot101]

ok... so what are those 5 people around him for ??????????

[willieofroanoke]

Good way to break you neck.

[willieofroanoke]

I haven't seen a spotter yet that did a damn thing to help any lifter. They only react AFTER the lifter screws-up.

[itbeshowinlikeamotha]

You obviously don't' compete. You attempt the weight, if you can squat 500 and you go for 515lbs you will fail. But you still push up as hard as you can, and the spotter get the extra weight that you can't push, so you don't get crushed. This guy dropped the weight on the way down, not the way up.

[KrazyBlakkkMan]

what can he do here? the lifter goes forward

[Lilpacothe3rd]

lmao....doggystyle that alotta weight lol

[beansandrice5]

STILL NOT 530

[gmh33]

4 * 100 + 3*45 = 535.

[mazurek45]

I bet he had to change his shorts when he got back to the locker room. Pretty crazy shit.

[ComandKat]

hey man ho do youd do that :-D lol nice joke, only with wraps and such funny squat :-D hehe

[brockinso]

i dont think that looks like 530 its only 2 plates each side....when i do 500 i need like 5 on each side...

[JCtherocks]

look closer, theres a black plate after 2yellow hundred pound plates. and u know the bar weights about 45 pound right?

[ghr4gon]

yah its 2 100's and a 45 plate on each side

[dend027]

Those are 100lbs plates there ace.

[xXDK7Xx]

Spotting?

[dend027]

No way, not when the lifter loses leverage like that, you can't expect the spotters to be able to support that unless they're some pretty big dudes.

[nathoniel01]

thats why you do squats in a rack so you dont die if you cant get it

[dend027]

Safety pinned racks aren't allowed in powerlifting.

[cotrackguy]

That's some good spotting work there, Lou.

[lcko]

Thanks, chief

[bfstronger15]

thats a pretty big amount of weight but those spotters weren't very good still

[pussgurka]

If you wrap your knees tight you should have an equally tight suit to even it out otherwise tightly wrapped knees have a tendency to shoot up again forcing your to lean too far forward. It is obvious you can control this weight.

[SimplySynical]

rofl @ dogy style

[cuulguy321]

Looks like you just leaned forward a little too much, better luck next time, keep working hard.

[zachkro809]

Nice try!

Those spotters needed more guidance. Five guy shoulddn't have dropped 530. I have spotted some big weights (1100+)and caught a lot of them. A spotter needs to be close to the weight and needs to grab the plates when the lifter fails. This grabbing the bar from arm's length shit won't work and it gets folks injured.

[thelargeyeti]

what a twat, he should of just got his head ripped off from the weights.

[mugen45]

Could have been worse

[ncpowerlifter]

Bar 45, 2 100s a side=400, 45 a side=90- total 535 lbs-

[Bowmanator92]

u had decent form. just looks like u bent forward too much

[vikingv45]

Hey no need to get nasty, I was just going by what I saw here. Thats cool you got it.

[vikingv45]

Why not use a weight you can actually do?

[lilaxboy11]

Look at my other video, search golman bench, and it shows me doing 530 squat, so FUCK you

[S0089701]

meow.

[BLACKMETALBARBELL]

viking,

what the fuck would be the point of that?

[jernmyre]

@vikingv45 Exactly.. when egos outgrow the muscles

[lilaxboy11]

not 530?

[jtbell30]

Not 530, shit head.

[lilaxboy11]

Surprisingly it didn't hurt at all it just left a big battle scar. No thanks to the spotters.

[Svenkong3]

Hahahaha doggystyle :P Anyway that hurts....

[lilaxboy11]

Has this happened to anyone else before?

[AmericanBulldog1100]

@lilaxboy11 I did it with 400 in but the saftey bars on the squat rack caught the weight. My neck felt like a peach the the next morning though.
