I wouldn’t have 3 , I’d have 2 , one on each side of the bar.
The guy at the rear is making matters worse . If he wasn’t in the way,the guy squatting could have dumped the bar

He was trying to stretch his legs while holding a 450-lb barbell over his shoulders, while being accompanied by a spotter. When Vicky was unable to sustain the barbell up, it fell on his neck, with the squatter being unable to lift the heavy weight up, per The Daily Mail.

WTF??? Do these journalists not know what a squat is???

For how alpha people try to make the squat sound and how people talk about it like it makes you a real man, you're just impressing dudes on the internet and I'd rather impress sloots than other dudes on the internet
Go hard on barbell bench but only do bish lower body exercises (i.e. not squat or deadlift) crew. Kinobody style.

As for the video it was an unfortunate thing to happen for sure. I can understand not using safety arms for bench because a lot of racks don't have a height setting that's low enough for full ROM (fk off constant tension but really just skipping the hardest part of the ROM p*ssies) but also high enough to save you. However, you should always use safety arms for squats because you don't need that much precision in the height setting for the safety arms to be effective for squats.

I read about this in the news but didn't know there was a video of it.


Died on the way to hospital. What's most disturbing is the moment where the neck snaps. It looks like a literal frame jump and the next millisecond, his head is in his chest. It looks so weird.

It's a reason why I'd never squat anything that heavy, 3 plates is enough for me. RIP brah.
Back off, Warchild.

Seriously.
