I'm aight, I'm in the UK so get free healthcare. I really hate hospital though.

I don't understand why people hate hospitals? I get if you don't want bad news but I would rather know about something before it's too late.

I've had a lot of surgeries for recurring compartment syndrome. I shattered my elbow when I was young too, so every few years I've had to have my arm broken & reset as I grew.

I wouldn't call it a phobia, but I've had a lot of bad memories there. Plus they gave me a suppository once. Fuk dat chit.

Some people heard a pop during that. Best wishes for him and hopefully he can get back into it again.

[KeepOnShruggin]

He broke his left knee cap completely in half, ligament damage in both knees.. ouch.

From Chad Smith at Juggernaut

Brandon Lilly will undergo surgery this morning to repair meniscus, patella tendon and quad tendon tears in both legs, as well as an ACL tear and totally fractured (like in 2 very distinct pieces) patella in the left leg.

If this injury had happened to just about anyone else, I would think their lifting career is done, but I am supremely confident that Brandon will rise to another level. This is the first part of what will be an amazing comeback story.

Brandon's spirits are quite high considering all things, but would certainly appreciate any Instagram posts or videos using ‪#‎365strong‬. Find him at @BrandonLilly3 and us at @JuggernautTraining.

Brandon Lilly will be back and stronger than ever. No Doubt!! ‪#‎aintnobitch‬

[AdamDTX]

that sounds completely insane and terrifying beyond belief

[BongoBanger]

Sad to hear, it will take him years to get back to the level he was at. He was one of my favorite lifters.

[BobisMighty]

Jeez man. How would you even go about preventing an injury like that?

[Marcoccia]

You make it sound like he's dead. It'll take him years to get his squat up but imagine how strong his bench will get?

Really nothing this could have happened at 315lbs but at 700+ the stress is so strong on the body one little thing goes and boom injury.

it might take him a year just to be able to squat again, then he has a catch up game to play getting back to where he was.

completely forgot about bench though, can see him putting up something absolutely monstrous.

[zj95maxx]

switched to 5x5 on squats again... I enjoy lower rep squats much more..

Well if you read and follow Brandon you'll know he's been through hell and back to get where he is now. He's done it once before and I'm sure he'll go through it again, now he has a lot more support behind him to help him get back to where he was.

[Marcoccia]

Quote from Brandon just before rolling into surgery.

First I want to than Steve Denison for the invitation to compete in such a great event. Second congrats to Daniel Green for yet another World Record.

On my squat as I descended my left knee popped wildly, and gave out, causing similar strain to the right leg. Thank everyone of the crew onstage, and EMT's on the scene.

As of right now without surgery I'd never walk again as I sheared my ACL, meniscus, patella, tore both quad tendons, and MCL in both knees and the knee cap in my left knee will be replaced. I go in for surgery in 10-15 minutes, I just wanted to thank every single person for the comments, status updates, texts, and emails. This is just a bump in the road.

I have one of the best knee surgeons in the US. Say a prayer or keep me in your thoughts... I appreciate you all very much, and I'll see you on the flip side.

[kingscross]

A couple of Eric Lilliebridge squats for those who might not have seen them.

[zj95maxx]

we up to 230 for 5x5 on bench press. A bunch of people say why don't I practice pause bench since I am competing.. I feel like I should establish some strenght and get comfortable with heavier weights since I don't normally flat press yeh? Meet isnt for like 4-5 months anyway


Maybe will increase to 235 next time.

[Marcoccia]

So after being sick for 2 weeks I hit a new PR in the front jerk which I'm not that great at. Hit 295lbs for a single then tried for 315lbs and missed should have gone for 305lbs because I would have most likely hit that.


Also this video is pretty cool

why the knee wraps???

I made a thread over at pendlay about how im seeing wlers use pl knee wraps, and people were just utterly retarded about it and told me it doesnt happen.

my knees were sore and tired. im still getting over a bug. I had them on pretty lose. Wlers use wraps all the time, or if you are russian/iranian/and kind of slav, you will tape your knees.

everyone is different

It all depends on the person. I use knee sleeves just because I like the little bit of support it give but I like I how it keeps the knee warm. But recently I've had jumpers knee in my left knee so it's annoying when I squat. I'm probably going to move to a wrap just for extra support and better movement.

Again it's all personal preference.

[zj95maxx]

Failed hard on deadlifts in this video



I also took this week off from deads, kinda tweaked the back of my knee (hamstring maybe) on squats so took a bit of a break

Can I be an Oly judge FTW? I would give those lifts red lights for knee wraps while Oly lifting and noise.
