I now understand why some people think that squat is bad for your knees....

Now that's hardcore, where's the vid of him lifting it back up and popping at the top?

 

[anthrax]

He was squatting 675lbs

...The vastus medialis in his left leg had torn, as had the patellar ligaments in his right leg.

... he underwent four hours of surgery

That's JP Fux. He was doing a photo shoot for Flex. The sequence of pics all together makes it that much more gruesom!

How dumb can people get in the name of obsession?

The photographer on that session is notorious for pushing guys to do irresponsible things. Where are the safety bars on that squat cage?

exactly! That was the first thing I noticed when I saw that photo shoot.

Holy shit, didn't that happen a long time ago? Like, back when I still had a subscription to Flex?

Yeah, it was at least a year or two ago.

Yeah, it's ancient history.

I would think someone of that size would know how to dump the bar?

Granted, I've never been able to freeweight that much pundage without the bands and chains, but I've never topped 230, either.

I could so start a suit arguement with the BBers here, lol.

Problem was that it happened so fast, he didn't have time to dump the bar till he hit the ground. Both knees went at the same time.

*cough* a Titan and some circulation-cutting Inzer straps and I bet he coulda bounced outta that hole without tearing both his PT's *cough*

LOL! The only thing left with any ability to "bounce" was his spine.

Not so long ago
August 2002

"Fux never bothered to set the safety pins on the power cage and as a result, got horrifically stapled under the bar. The doctor who operated on him noted that the inside of one of his knees was a mass of scarred cartilage, never mind the fact that both quadriceps were literally shredded away"
