Feel bad for the guy...but thats what happens when people are messin around tryin to get there "Max lift" just so they can say to there bros, yo I did 405 for 1 rep man

Thats one reason I do lots of reverse curls and triceps pressdowns with a reverse grip to keep that top part of my forearm strong.

I tried out some wrist wraps one time and it changed the angle of my hand from what I was used to. I had 315 roll out of my hands. Luckily it happened while the bar was already touching my chest so I was able to finish my workout and I wasn't hurt.

it slipped out of his hands, i mean check out his grip

 

[ironfreak83]

seriously, haven't those guys ever freakin' heard of using chalk????

 

[Sesshomaru]

He is not a weightlifter. Hes just some kid who 'works out,'

Your right. He doesnt have his thumbs wrapped around the bar.

 

[hbomb]

I don't know how many time I see guys in the gym w/o their thumbs around the bar. Makes me cringe.

 

[woody4life]

holy shit !!!!!! that hurts me 2 even watch

 

[Syndicate]

Why don't people have the spotter hold the bar? Ego maybe? I always have my buddy hold the bar, as if I'm going to drop it... Last thing I need is to see 350 plummeting down for the guillotine!!

 

[KillerStack]

There's a reason it's called the suicide grip.

BAH! A false grip is the only way to go. Takes so much stress off of your wrists and much more comfortable in pressing motions.

 

[maverick2112]

Its almost like the poor guy just let go of the bar........

 

[meanjoebean]

Tell em maldorf, real men use suicide grip (except for those that dribble the weight on their chest like this poor guy lol). I used the closed grip for a few years when I was learning how to work out. Once I started using suicide grip though, I never looked back.

I was waiting for this to happen just today in the gym
Not only was he using a thumbless grip but he was also turning the palm of his hand towards the ground.

Fascinating stuff to see, sadly the bar didnt fall though

Been using this grip for more 24 yrs now and never had a mishap. SUppose if someone isnt careful or inexperienced something could happen.

Fuck that grip... too dangerous. I had 365 come down doing incline bench because of that grip (hands were sweaty) luckily I set the spotters on each side at the right height and was not crushed! Never Again! JMO
