    scary shit wow. i think a pro had that happen at a photo shoot once where both legs snapped.

    mentally i could never squat more than 365 lbs for sets of 10 when i was able to squat up until 12 years ago. i would just get too nervous about collapsing down even with a spot. i used to rely on the hack squat and even then was still not 100 percent comfortable.

    POWERLIFTING CHAMPFRACTURES BOTH KNEES, SNAPS QUADS... In Horrifying 800-Lb Squat AttemptShare on Facebook*Share on Twitter*Share with Email8/13/2020 7:09 AM PT

    A Russian powerlifting champ fractured both his knees and snapped both his quads in an 800-plus-pound squat attempt gone horrifically wrong ... and the video is TERRIFYING.

    The awful scene all went down when decorated weightlifter*Alexander Sedykh*stepped up to the bar at a World Raw Powerlifting Federation event near Moscow this past weekend.

    Sedykh -- the event's champ just a year ago -- loaded up 400 KG (roughly 880 pounds) on the bar ... and when he went to squat it, things took an awful turn.

    WARNING: THIS IS GRUESOME.

    In the video, you can see Sedykh's legs wobble ... before they eventually give out with a loud cracking sound.

    Immediately, Sedykh is in serious pain ... and after he was rushed to the hospital, he reportedly required hours of surgery to fix his broken legs and quadriceps muscles.

    "The main thing is that I must lie motionless in bed for two months,” Sedykh reportedly said of the injuries. “Then I'll be taught how to walk again."

    He added, "It’ll take time to recuperate" and "I've had my quadriceps re-sewn and my knees put back together.”

    Good Lord. Poor dude. Watching it over again.....the spotters did a poor job IMO. No way they save him here but it should be allowed that they can use way more force than that to spot. Just take off some weight from the total.

    Then again, those spotters really serve next to no purpose because they couldn't lift that 881 between the two of them. Needed to have a few guys the size of this guy to spot.
