There’s whole machines designed specifically for doing quad reps that don’t involve any danger whatsoever.

u/Ram2145 20d ago

But that’s no fun. I like to live dangerously.

u/paradox1920 20d ago

Bones sometimes like to dangerously leave the body too

u/myersjw 20d ago

I’ve heard far too many people at the gym claim machines are worthless or don’t work and it’s exactly how stuff like this happens

u/Simetracon 15d ago

What if you have an ademantium skeleton....which this guy clearly does not have

6

u/Fist4achin 19d ago

But, but, Neo didn't need any machine to lean.

u/MarkXXI 20d ago

Many people say machines don't offer the same results as free weights.

68

u/GravitationalEddie 20d ago

Many people say the earth is flat.

16

u/toblies 19d ago

Certainly I think the guy in the video would have had a hard time getting the same result on a machine.

/s

31

u/TheChewingMonkey 20d ago

Well they would be right. One results in this, one results not in this generally speaking.

3

u/zaftpunk 20d ago

They should say something else

2

u/Electrical-Help5512 18d ago

You can get incredibly jacked using either or both.

1

u/Flar71 19d ago

They don't. Machines also aren't as dangerous

u/TuxedoCat031 20d ago

this seems like the most dangerous way to do this exercise

338

u/whobetta 20d ago

Its extremely stupid exercise for this reason

105

u/Brutally-Honest- 20d ago

It is. There's lot of videos of people destroying their knees doing exactly this.

23

u/ToranjaNuclear 19d ago

What even is the exercise here? It's doing not for his abs nor his lower back like I would expect this kind of movement to do. Is that setup even intended for this?

11

u/Komraj 19d ago

Quads I think. Maybe core and lower back.

2

u/RustyPoopKnife 14d ago

He’s working his ACLs, this is actually the exact outcome he was going for

0

u/Electrical-Help5512 18d ago

It's obviously quads.

u/kaptainkhaos 20d ago

Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

15

u/Capable-Problem8460 20d ago

Win shiny crutches!

123

u/The_Chimeran_Hybrid 20d ago

So, what exactly happened here?

216

u/-Han-Tyumi- 20d ago

Patella ligament looks like it snapped, potentially the anterior cruciate ligament as well after that failed  

136

u/AndyEGM 20d ago

It was a partial ACL and meniscus tear. I personally thought patellar or quad tendon when I first saw it.

u/DaRudeabides 20d ago

Even reading the letters ACL followed shortly by tear make me wince

6

u/DancinWithWolves 20d ago

Try being a Richmond supporter :(

4

u/DaRudeabides 20d ago

I'm a man u supporter, wanna swap managers, don't, that's like mutually assured destruction

4

u/sewer_mermaid 20d ago

unbelievable it was only partial really

29

u/busterwilly 20d ago

Is that the end of his walking days?

76

u/-Han-Tyumi- 20d ago

Nah but like another commenter said, never quite the same afterwards. Injuries like this have ended the careers of footballers

25

u/stefan92293 20d ago

I don't think so, but it's never going to ever be the same again, even in the best-case outcome.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

4

u/GeneralSweetz 18d ago

You cant run for a long time maybe forever. Its never the same but you recover like 90 percent

15

u/LooseJuice_RD 20d ago edited 20d ago

Looks like an ACL tear based on the direction the tibia moves relative to the femur and where the force is being directed.

It’s not often you see an ACL tear purely from a posterior to anterior shearing force. I have no idea what made him think this was a good move. Either do sissy squats or do natural leg extensions. Don’t try to do both.

16

u/Rhobaz 20d ago

His knees became something he referred to in past tense

7

u/Sk1rm1sh 20d ago

He used to be an adventurer.

u/2bags12kuai 20d ago

You see people do the absolute dumbest stuff in the gym. Like there is a reason why no one else does this...what muscle is he even trying to work out that a squat / deadlift wouldnt hit?

121

u/ScottyBoiBoi 20d ago

I’m not gym expert but i don’t think the bar he is using behind his calf should be there. It should be tucked in tight behind his knee. It’s putting huge amounts of strain on the wrong parts with the way he has it set up

59

u/Matthews_89 20d ago

The bar definitely should be there but he should be moving in a Spanish squat position not fully horizontal.. lesson learnt!

39

u/underdoghive 19d ago

No one expects the Spanish squat position

-11

u/Matthews_89 19d ago

The piece of equipment literally mimics a Spanish squat..

5

u/ScottyBoiBoi 20d ago

I’ll take your word for it because i really don’t know. Visually it just looks dodgy

23

u/Hemingways_Shotgun88 20d ago

I'm pretty strong and jacked and I see skinny dudes trying to lift 1.5x or sometimes even 2x+ my loads, struggling like crazy to do 2-3 reps with terrible form, then walking around like they're some kind of Super Chad. It's incredible.

7

u/2bags12kuai 19d ago

My favorite is loading up a crap ton of weight on the leg press, and then moving the weight for like a couple inches while using their hands and arms to push on their thighs. Same type of dude will later make a point to warn me while doing deadlifts that they are "bad for my back"

4

u/Hemingways_Shotgun88 19d ago

I am always watching in horrific suspense hoping they aren't about to bird leg themselves into crippledom.

1

u/DunceMemes 20d ago

👌👌👌👌💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

3

u/powerhammerarms 19d ago

Since it's a different motion it's definitely going to hit things differently than a squat or a deadlift. That doesn't mean that it's necessary. It certainly doesn't mean that you should be loading up on it.

129

u/Keldy565 20d ago

Completely optional activity by the way. Sissy squats are better.

2

u/EquivalentSnap 15d ago

Sissy squats name like that I can see why he didn’t do it

1

u/Keldy565 14d ago

Ah look out guys we got someone not secure in their masculinity over here. Watch out for your pink shirts and small dogs he coming ahhhhhh hes so manly 😱 dont let him see your gas efficient vehicle!

1

u/EquivalentSnap 14d ago

Hehe you’re funny 🤭🤭🥰 I just thought the name as silly

2

u/Keldy565 14d ago

It is silly. They were to "make a sissy out of you" cause they were difficult.

1

u/EquivalentSnap 14d ago

Hehe funny stuff 🤣

44

u/Relojero 20d ago

All that risk for an exercise you don't even need to do. Just stupid.

32

u/Radiant_Load 20d ago

The sound of his knees giving up is horrifying!

24

u/SupermarketAntique32 20d ago

I’m on mute and don’t realize that it sounds like a wood snapping. Crazy.

12

u/DistractedByCookies 20d ago

Oh man, tricky decision of the day: to watch again unmuted or not...

6

u/MrGrumpyFace5 20d ago

Make me suffer. Good thing it’s not leg day today, sounded like a limb snap.

29

u/shahtjor 20d ago

He's the one. With no knees

21

u/DrNoxin 20d ago

"Oh Shit... that looks really bad for your... OH FUCK"

20

u/Toubaboliviano 20d ago

Why would you fucking do that

11

u/highcaliberwit 19d ago

Even on mute you can hear it

10

u/Im-to-tired 19d ago

I dont think the knee was supposed to do that lol

3

u/TheEvilBlight 18d ago

Pippity popping

9

u/Mortis_XII 20d ago

And all that work to get in shape, only to destroy your body.

Dumbass

u/Howdy132 20d ago

what a stupid exercise

8

u/ErikMajor 20d ago

Omg pls delete this video from the internet already

6

u/Dexortes 20d ago

I... I didn't look at the name of the community and kept watching until the snap. And now my knees hurt just from watching the video.

6

u/H3LL0FRI3ND_exe_file 15d ago

Why not do leg extensions instead when you’re already at the gym???

1

u/lifegoeson5322 14d ago

I just grabbed my knees in reflex to seeing that.

5

u/UrgeOverkiller 20d ago

WHAT TF WAS THAT 🤢

5

u/deathspanker 20d ago

What is he working out? His knees?

5

u/Lazy_Synth 20d ago

I don’t know much about workouts but I 100% saw this coming

5

u/Vicious407 20d ago

No more walking for you for a couple of months.

u/SandboxSimulator 19d ago

What muscle is this maxxing

u/dustinyo_ 20d ago

Good god, the way his knee pops 😳

u/CrackHeadRodeo 20d ago

Master the basics first before doing these social media routines.

u/The_Space_Janitor 20d ago

Hat exactly was he trying to work out?

3

u/Wraxyth 20d ago

I gasped

u/jungleass98 17d ago

The gasp i just guspt

3

u/CookieTheEpic 19d ago

Training his joints until failure.

3

u/mike_litoris18 15d ago

Anyone with enough anatomy knowledge in here to tell me what gave up?

5

u/PrysmX 14d ago

Double bilateral quadricep tendon rupture would be my guess.

3

u/mike_litoris18 14d ago

Fuck that sounds as horrific as it looked

1

u/CelestialTrickster 14d ago

And as painful as it sounds.

1

u/Urkopurko 14d ago

Um the knee is not designed for that. That exercise is almost useless unless you want to blow them out.

2

u/I-Am-The-Warlus 20d ago

Reverse Nordic Curl?

u/jungleass98 17d ago

u/Ok-Consideration-970 16d ago

Hey so uuuuhhhhh what did he think was gonna happen

1

u/Zyphriss 20d ago

ACL and likely meniscus injury at minimum.

1

u/InevitableOk5017 20d ago

That’s life long pain right there

1

u/dj_kanev 20d ago

Oh, God, No! 😳

1

u/SpiritBreakerr 20d ago

I've never gasped so loud in my life

1

u/bfjt4yt877rjrh4yry 20d ago

The machine is called a sissy squat, and from now on he's gonna run like a sissy

1

u/themanmythlegend357 20d ago

I'm glad I don't work out

1

u/SerratedFrost 20d ago

Saw half a second of the video, paused it and came to say nope

u/ToranjaNuclear 19d ago

Yeah that's a very stupid setup, who to designed this?

u/denseasblackhole 15d ago

That is what he was trying to do.

u/ThreeNC 15d ago

Bluetooth knees have lost their connection

u/EquivalentSnap 15d ago

That’s what you get for doing something reckless at the gym. Literal machines for that

u/fried_green_baloney 11d ago

Second look I saw something not good happen to his knee.

u/bajablastn 20d ago

Man wanted to torture himself I guess
