Near death benchpress accident, horrible design flaw[DASNOTITMANE][VID]

[jamesovercome]

You have to be retarded to bench press without a powerrack by yourself. If you have the safety bar where they should be, you have 0% chance of failing at a lift and slowing choking or suffocating yourself to death. I dont feel bad for any of those dip****s

[Jessejame5]

Only design flaw here is in the guys brain. You just don't max out on BP alone.

Can't believe a few guys in here say they do it all the time cos "With a decent rack and safety bars a spotter isn't essential"
but fuaark m8, you're still playing with fire the racks could fail anytime.

[Hercegovac8]

i've been there op

mind blown that ppl dont know the mouse trap technique

imo it should be the first thing u learn when u begin to bench

[ralphplsgo12]

helloooooo lawsuit

[AndreFootball22]

yeh those sales reps/customer service guys are going to have a bad time

hahhaa

[CurltonBench]

i've been there op

good god man....she wanted to curl it lmao....teach her how to deadlift itll save your life...

[PHZA]

Only bench in full power rack crew. Can go super heavy with full confidence and not even worry about annoying spotters touching my bar.

[IronSabbath]

shoulda benched in a straight line instead putting it over his face

[Impregnator]

another aw fudge bye
that scared me.

never bench pressing again. not even the bar.



but who was design flaw?

[Baconandeggs]

Somebody get Harvey Spector on the phone, this schitt has gone real

[JawBone90]

Always double check your goddamn safetybars brahs....sometimes it takes a grueling video of a nightmare to make sure you keep doing this, here goes.




If you lift decent weight(enough to kill you) please dont use retarded programming.

No, quality racks like the Body-Solid one I mentioned in my previous post are ridiculously sturdy. If you set the safety bars at the correct height there's no way the bar is coming down on you.

I've maxed out 315 on my own on several occasions. And I've failed on it a bunch more, lowering the bar slowly onto the safety bars which are set just a very short amount higher than chest level.

LEL

Not using safety clips may have saved his life

[Celsus]

My throat feels uncomfortable after watching this, like there's something stuck in there now

[AMERICAN_BEAST]

Horrible design flaw? More like horrible way to dump the weight

Kinda this.

If he knows there is a space why the hell did he bring it back to dump it lol

[manjay]

Does anyone else see a trend with these bench fails? In every bench shoulders/elbows r too flared, creating a massive risk to the neck if/when they fail. Srsly all you guys need to look up proper benching technique, especially at heavy weights your technique is so critical. Start learning to get the shoulders and traps and back TIGHT, get used to benching with proper unracking with straight shoulders, bench lower on your chest with elbows tucked in. If you cant get it up you will def fail around upper abs/lower pec and its a simple matter of side rocking to dismount.

Too many guys try to get the glory lifts by flaring hard and using joints for leverage, at big weights it will fk you up big time.

benching in a straight line is just a another bench technique, it heavily favors the triceps, mark bell benches this way. but enough pro powerlifters for example dan green, push towards the rack in order for the shoulders to assist a ****ton in lockout and most people are a lot stronger in their lockout by involving their delts. there is not 1 way to bench

[Milone79]

This.

So many things wrong in this video. This guy shouldn't be allowed to lift.

1. 90% of the lift his ass wasn't even on the bench.

2. Attempting a PR with no spotter

3. Pulls the bar towards his head as it falls so it misses the safety stoppers and stops on his neck instead

Every time I think "no one could be stupid enough to do this", I get proven wrong.

Repped for truth!!!! guy in vid should just kill himself!

[kiwimac]

You're doing it wrong if the bar goes straight up and down.

[Mikelawton]

suprised he didnt **** up his shoulder when he failed to rack it, especially with that weight

[xxdieharderxx]

Damn OP thought you was a goner.


Are you mentally damaged? Will try that weight ever again?

[Tweedurr]

What a fukking idiot.

[Thai_Clinch]

i've been there op

that right there is the sole reason i would NEVER use those ****ing weight clamps. brb see some skinny ******* with too much on the bar and put those things on. good luck on those sternum crush goals m8 when youre trapped underneath it.

[ClaptonDeCheeks]

this lifting video is pretty scary too... it's a crossfit vid, but it's the snatch so it's not exclusive to crossfit. might be repost. Dude drops the barbell and severs his spine.



edit: idiot still has same attitude of "fk it i'm just gonna do it and it'll come out however it comes out"

[FawkinJuicy]

It always makes me lol why these people upload these types of videos. I can understand why the Star Wars kid video ended up online, some ppl stole the video and uploaded it to make fun of the guy. However when it's the idiot in the video uploading it... just blows my mind. If I did something so stupid, that chit is getting erased pronto.

his form was fine

he had safety bars, the design in them flawed.. not his fault.

he was trying to rerack it (the safety bar is suppose to be touching the main post).


He's not stupid at all, the spotter thing? i guess but some people like to workout alone, hence the safety bars.

[Darkhare]

Kinda this.

there isn't suppose to be a space... look at the bottom, they are attached to the main part of the bench, but instead of having adjustment pegs up the post, they went a cheap route figuring the triangle at the bottom will keep the top of the safety bar pressed against the post........ lulz, wrong... the post bounced away from the bar and opened the gap briefly.

[Greek_kid]

from other thread, this right here fits so perfectly

[MrDeafMuscle]

That is what you get when you give a retard a machine with one little design flaw. Almost looks like it was done on purpose. Anyways that design flaw is a simple fix. I have already designed a mechanism in my head.

PM me if you want to pay me for my patent.

Ty men.

[Magicbox]

Kinda this.

FYI this bench setup is qualified for and used in some competitions. What happened here is a design flaw that up untill that point hadn't been found. When he tries to rack the failed lift it hits the bench with so much force that it creates a hole between the bench and the safety bars. So the hole wasnt there to start with.

If there hadn't been a design flaw he would have been able to put it on the safety bars without any problems and there would have been no need for a spotter. You can argue that it was stupid to try and rack it like that, but if he felt confident that the safety bars would be there i guess you can't blame him too much.
