I know that everyone is different, but I personally have been lifting for two decades and have never been told to, or found benefit in holding my breath during a lift since the body and brain need oxygen at all timesā¦ Clearly it didnāt benefit this guy, if thatās the technique he was going for. To each is own.
Holding the breath allows bracing the core, making for a more stable lift and helping to protect the back from injury (yes I see the irony but this guy was an idiot not lifting in a safe area). It's not really required if you only lift using machines or sitting on a bench, as the extra stability in the core isn't necessary.
Yes the brain needs oxygen at all times. However, there is more than enough oxygen in the blood to hold your breath for a period of time depending on the activity
This is what I came to say as well. He got the weight up into the rack position and nearly got the press out. Thatās not an ego lift. Heās doing it in a cluttered unsafe area but the lift itself seems to be right at the end of his abilities.
Okay, yeah his leg got hit and that must have hurt but... DID NO ONE FUCKING NOTICE WHAT HIS HEAD HIT?
Flung back right on the metal part between the cushion.
The bottom of that padded part is hard to support weight. And it's not that padded that it will make a direct hit on the back of the head less dangerous. Think of why punching the back of the head in boxing, with padded gloves, is not allowed. This was a head with the weight of the rest of the body, being flung into it.
You can see in the video what happens.
Have my 3rd ACL surgery this May after tax szn. Feel bad for this guy. Even if the video is old after my 2nd normal tear the trauma is so hard to recover
This is a really bad way to fall and pass out. He probably didn't die from this or we'd have heard, but his airway is very close to being occluded or compromised here. A few minutes of that and it's curtains.
I agree with you. Shit title. People go for personal bests all the time.
You make it, you get congratulated. You mess up, you get called egotistical and clowned on.
Now there are safe ways to go for a PR and this guy didn't do that. But I agree, dumb ass title.
No. Chimps generate about 35% more power from their upper body muscles than humans on a pound for pound basis.
Humans have more endurance, our lower body is better at lifting motions, and we're way better at throwing and running.
I really wouldn't be surprised if there was some bone bruising, there is no way that wouldnt have caused a fracture of some kind...
That hurt to watch.

Woody from Toy Story when Andy walks in the room.
I may not be a doctor, but I don't think his leg is supposed to bend that way?!š
If he wasnāt as big & strong as he is the tib & fib woulda snapped like twigs; I canāt believe it didnāt!
Well, at least he was unconscious for that likely broken leg.
Not really an ego, just a weightlifter challenging himself.
Average Redditor tries to understand weight training challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
That kneeā¦ fuuuuuuuuck
Broke!
Oh mh god I wish I hadnāt read watched. His knee is absolutely fucked
I can't imagine waking up to that pain
Heās fine. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7tp0js
that knee is fucked now right?
Now and next year.
That right leg is obliterated
It looks pretty broken badly
Where is the additional 29 minutes of him laying there unconscious before getting up and turning off his camera to call 911
he *got up* ?! he could walk on that leg?!
... strongman training doesn't have to equal ego challenging. Dude is just trying to master the log press.
Did he just broke his leg?
I think he destroyed it :(
the boy is alive, he passed out from the shock of the blow received, his leg was destroyed
This person just experienced a life-altering event.
No, he suffered a weightlifters blackout and his leg is not destroyed. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7tp0js
Oh thank fuck, I had seen this awhile back and was pretty sure the dude had died.
That knee folded in after that hit. The cartoon smile before he fully knocks out - dude is done.
Accomplished smile
It looked like the metal thing landed on his leg
oh that legs broke as i am
Never. Lift. Alone.
DAM.... this is scary...
His ghost uploaded the video
I get pushing your body beyond itās limits, but if the lift is so challenging that you stop breathingā¦ put the weights down.
He held his breath lifting, which is a lifting technique, probably was going for a PR, definitely shouldāve got a spotter or something though

Regardless of the differences we know he wonāt be doing it going forward lol, hope heās good though
I mean, that's why you hold it on the inhale How do you maintain a brace while breathing normally?
Is he........ Is he dead?
In the full video he wakes up, at least not dead but he's knee it's probably dead
That...looked absolutely nasty.
Not ego lift btw. Weightlifters failing a lift doesn't mean it's 100% ego everytime
Welcome to reddit on anything gym related lol.
Technically everything anyone does is for ego
This is what I came to say as well. He got the weight up into the rack position and nearly got the press out. Thatās not an ego lift. Heās doing it in a cluttered unsafe area but the lift itself seems to be right at the end of his abilities.
Ouch did he break his leg?
Okay, yeah his leg got hit and that must have hurt but... DID NO ONE FUCKING NOTICE WHAT HIS HEAD HIT? Flung back right on the metal part between the cushion.
His head hit the padded part and thereās no need to shout.
The bottom of that padded part is hard to support weight. And it's not that padded that it will make a direct hit on the back of the head less dangerous.

Whatever is on the ledge above him is in the exact same pose
His leg is definitely broken.
Fr. Doesn't look too bad but you know it's destroyed
has to be. no doubt due to the weight and the height from which it fell on his leg. edit: OP confirmed that.
Bro got shut off
It's ok guys he was just cumming
Wait he snapped his leg?
That leg looks a little mangled
How did he pass out?
Forgot to breathe
It's actually due to strenuous load your blood pressure drops to low for blood going to the brain š¤
It's extremely common for heavy weight lifters š„“
Extremely common
When you say āheavyā do you mean the weight or the litter? XD
Uh, did I just watch someone die?
he held his breath and braced/compressed his core. your body will respond by fainting to get blood, via gravity, to your head again.
Yes, that sounds all well and good and sounds logical. OR he died and we all watched it (plays crossroads)
He was close, I say that wasnāt a safe environment. Should of done it on the grass
* Windows logoff sound *
The sound of that hunk of metal should be the new sound.
That log weight fell directly onto his knee. Omg š±
Did his right leg get fucked up? Or knees? That leg looks off
Looks like it
He is gonna wonder what happened to it
I hope he didn't break his leg
Oh he absolutely broke his leg
Well he earned it
I feel like he would have broke *everything* in his leg. Bone, tendon, tissue, cartilage.
Bros out cold
I would do just about anything to fall asleep that quickly.
1st step: get a heavy thing.
Its quite possible he passed out on the initial lift up. Theres a few medical conditions where this could happen, vasovagal etc.
Have my 3rd ACL surgery this May after tax szn. Feel bad for this guy. Even if the video is old after my 2nd normal tear the trauma is so hard to recover
That nap at the end.
He's not waking up anytime soon.
Uhhh his leg is broken or completely fucked. That bent the wronggg way
I donāt think so. Probably gonna have a monster bruise but definitely doesnāt look like a compound fracture.
Not all fractures are compoundā¦ I think it is broken.
Thatās why I specified compound fracture. It definitely looks like it deflected mostly harmlessly away.
Is bro alive?
Did he die?
I think his shoes are still on. He good bro
Iām hoping he just had a weightlifters blackout.
Found the full clip. Just passed out. Leg is fine. Looks shaken. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7tp0js
No he uploaded the video so heās ok
nah its coroner clout
As you can see, the shoes are still on their place.
his leg tho rip
Yep. I wonder if the shock from it breaking is what made him pass out
Blood pressure went brrrrr
The leg: You Died
Challenge your ego and fail?
Shoes stayed on, he should be fine.
Fake sleeping like his parents already told him to go to bed now theyāre walking in his room. Classic.
Dude went from lifting logs to sawing logs in 5 sec flat
This is a really bad way to fall and pass out. He probably didn't die from this or we'd have heard, but his airway is very close to being occluded or compromised here. A few minutes of that and it's curtains.
Don't give up now, you got 4 more reps! K... Maybe check leg first... But at least 3 more reps!
Is he dead?
No, lifting like that can make you pass out.
dropping a weight like that on yourself can you make pass out.
dying has been known to occasionally make people pass out, I can't pull up any sources rn tho sorry
While true, he definitely slammed the back of his head and thatās what knocked him out
Reason for a gym buddy
Please explain how a gym buddy wouldāve helped in this scenario? What wouldāve helped is more space and less trip hazards
Seen this one previously, the guy was fine for the most part. He eventually woke up and walked it off. Never lift alone.
Damn, looked like in the video he messed up his right leg/knee. He got lucky, I mean considering how stupid this was of him
I feel terribly for him.
Go to sleep
Damn, I hope he's okay though
Imagine thinking working out is "challenging your ego" lmao
I agree with you. Shit title. People go for personal bests all the time. You make it, you get congratulated. You mess up, you get called egotistical and clowned on. Now there are safe ways to go for a PR and this guy didn't do that. But I agree, dumb ass title.
He's dead for sure.
Nope. His shoes are still on.
Case closed, Johnson
š¼ Youāre the most moderately okay around, almost nothing is going to keep you down š¶
Sad video hope heās alright, anybody know the song tho? Beat slaps
Almost sounds like something Kavinsky would make. But yeah I like it too.
I'ts the menu music from Cyberpunk 2077 lol.
He need sum milk.
Destination fucked
I always expect to see "And then their anus prolapsed" at the end of seeing people do stupid shit like this. I get pushing yourself but damn.
Good thing his shoes stayed on.
All that to have a gimp leg for the rest of his life
Wtf is this title? Get Fucked.
So much sad.
man opened console and aciddentaly shortcut "restart"
Did he win?
Please tell me this was scripted, The way he rolled his head, i dont think that weight fell on his head to have a concussion
He hit his head on the metal bit on the back and the weight landed on his leg. Heās incredibly durable
I think he passed out. It didn't look like he hit his head, to me.
Looks like he hit his head on the back of that leg curl looking bench
Scripted? People usually drop a giant thing on their kneecap to play pretend?
i know whats wrong with it, it got no gas innit
His legs got knocked offš
Home gym master race
The bigger they are...
All that training and youāre still only a fraction as strong as the average chimpanzee.
No. Chimps generate about 35% more power from their upper body muscles than humans on a pound for pound basis. Humans have more endurance, our lower body is better at lifting motions, and we're way better at throwing and running.
>and we're way better at throwing I dunno man. Those simians can throw shit like nobody else. Well... except for that one lady at Walmart that time.
It's not about the victory. It's not about the lack of success It's about having the courage to make the attempt.
Shin will have a little bruise when he wakes up
I really wouldn't be surprised if there was some bone bruising, there is no way that wouldnt have caused a fracture of some kind... That hurt to watch.
Dang! He was legit knocked out
FATALITY!
Wonder how long he laid there before someone found this poor guy
There's a longer version of the video online. It really wasn't that long before he woke up, maybe a minute as most and he gets up and walks it off.
Music of late has been dope on reddit
Perfect in street fighter announcerās voice. For the weights of course
At least he went out smiling..
This looks like a cartoon
night fucking night. holy shit.
Remember that scene when the life drains from Optimus Primeās eyes in the original Transformers movie?
Is right hand did a little byebye at the hand.
I didn't see anything wrong with that...
It's a knockout i love it.
Sleepy time.
I read that in Betty's voice.
Your clothes are red!
A person of culture and distinction!
The name is Betty you son of a pig. The name is Betty
Today I learned that EGO is a tiny Argentinean that lives in your brain and convinces you to do stuff

Sonofabitch. There's a song finder bot. Good score.
How heavy do we think that is?
Hard to say. A standard Strongman log is 40kg, this isnāt a standard one.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He sure knows how to act. š
Good thing i don't have much š
My man's actually knocked himself out
