It doesn't take a lot to crush your neck. 98 kg is not a heavy weight to lift, but it's a lot for your neck.

first time benching

load up a set of 45's

nah looks a little light, ive seen other people do that before

loads another set of 45's "yeah that's what I bench in GTA"

proceeds to spend 5 minutes finding a way to break the weight

"ok i've got it now, time to lower is -just- a little"

unlocks elbows and weight crushes him


When I was 150lbs know what i repped on the bench when i started? 95lbs If i had started off with 200lbs in an empty gym i probably would have died too

this is now an important issue that society needs to address.
Condolences for the child and his family. But yes, I guarantee some activist group will exploit this poor child's death in order to advance an agenda. Some people frown upon weightlifting because they think all the people use steroids, "hyper masculinity", ect BS. Next, all bench presses will have to have safety bars or some crap.
Again, RIP to the child. It always saddens me when I see young people killed. I see enough of it in the hospital between drug overdoses and car accidents.

I wonder what dirt this 15 year old australian rugby player from Queensland had on hillary clinton.

First I thought no way they could be linked. Why would killery even go to Australia?

Then I saw:

The former First Lady and US Secretary of State made her first foray down under 20-years ago, accompanying then President Bill Clinton on a four-day trip to Canberra and far north Queensland."


She was IN Queensland less than a year ago. For 4 days. This poor bro's home town. Did he see some chit? Did he witness her people abducting orphan children for rape, torture and spirit cooking? Was he going to talk?

Came in to post this. Its kind of like people who dont treat firearms as loaded at all times then they shoot themselves or someone. Stupidity at its finest. None the less at 15 people do stupid ****. Feel bad for him. Parents deserve 0 dollars but will likely sue.

Know your limits, and don't use clips. Tore a pec attempting 385. Spotter couldn't get it, so I dumped it.

Now he's lifting with Rich Piano in that great big gym in the sky.

RIP

And never bench without a spotter unless your rack looks like this.



I just did 315x9 and a half. Failed on the 10th rep and had no problem bailing out. Great piece of equipment right there.

That is so horribly sad. It wouldn't make me try to discourage my son from lifting, but it would encourage me to make sure he knows how to do it safely if alone.

Tragic, but to lighten the mood I think I could sleep with 100kg on my back and be fine. Lift what's comfortable when you don't have a spotter.

It's a shame he died but you gotta use your brain sometimes.

I think we have all done some stupid **** while weight lifting, I know I have.

Must have been suicide grip and it slammed down on his neck instantly killing him/making him pass out. I dont see any other way this is possible, even if he brings it down on his neck, with clips on, and tears a pec muscle, the opposite arm could still push half of it up off his neck so that opposite side is on the floor and the rest on his chest.

98kg is not just not a huge lift, it's a pretty crappy lift for anyone with a year or more of lifting experience.

how the **** do you end dropping the bar on your neck?
if you are going to fail on a raw bench press it will be on the chest anyway

If his friends were true bros, they'd have loaded the bar with more weight before they took it off.
