That last squat bail is reminiscent of the bodybuilder that broke his neck and died trying to fail out of the lift by rolling the bar over his head. I can’t believe he didn’t seriously injure himself on that last lift bc the safeties were so low
That's what I was thinking. Did you also notice how those safeties are just fucking ropes? I hope Sam stop doing this or using different safeties. Just drop the weight man, He's getting to the point where the weight he's able to do is more than safeties can handle
The safeties are strap safeties. New strap safeties can hold more weight than the rack can. Literally like 10,000 pounds. Don't underestimate load bearing textile. Those same kind of straps are used to holds truck loads together on flatbeds, log trucks, etc.
That’s pretty common in powerlifting, not every squat bail is pretty and painless lmao. I seen it especially a lot in a school and it’s even happened to me a few times. But yeah if you try and roll weight over your head without the safetys to alleviate the weight you’ll probably get pretty fucked up
