I thought I was opening a thread called “Russian powerlifter breaks both... records”

maybe most painful squat record

****, that sucks

How much weight was that?

Nope, can't watch it. I saw a guy blow out a knee at a meet and it almost made me puke.

Not watching. Seen similar stuff in person at meets. It’s ugly.

I hate when Feds don’t properly set the safety strap heights, or don’t even use them. They save people.

Would love to know the weight on that one.

Jesus. I'm going to have nightmares about that video for awhile.

The amount of nopes on this thread make me want to watch the video even more

My fav is this one from 1977 Powerlifting World Championships. Paul Jordan chasing Larry Pacifico
19 min in it starts

Jordan first attempt 694lbs - barely gets it. No way he has even 700lbs that day
2nd attempt - jumps up to 755lbs for a record, not even close. Obviously.
3rd attempt jumps up to 761lbs to try to beat Pacifico and blows his knee apart lol.

I literally cringed and had to stop the video. Geez, that popping/snapping sound and then watching his knees completely crumble 🤮

I guess there's a bright side to me not being able to squat 800+. At least my knees can handle sub-600 pretty good.
