A fitness Chinese man was crushed to death by a bench press at the gym.

If you need to curve your back that much then the weight is clearly above your limit.

If you can't get a spotter, limit yourself to some manageable weight and add extra resistance using bands installed in such a way that they only start stretching when you lift above the rack holders

🎶 ego liftin in the gym without a spotter by your side, dumb ways to die🎶

If you start bending your back like a worm when bench pressing its evident something bad will happen

Hmmm....maybe don't bench something a million pounds over your limit...and without a spotter. He wasn't even close to being able to lift it even once. You could've taken off a hundred pounds and it still would have been too heavy for him. What a torturous and drawn out death too....

Damn his phone was recording for 36 minutes. His adams apple was crushed down to the core.

I feel bad for this one, but damn, know your limits

If you don't have a spotter, at least leave off the clamps so you can rotate the bar to allow the plates to fall off.

He looks to be in decent shape, I can't believe he made it this far without considering the possibility of something like this happening

Been lifting my whole life. Anytime you wanna max out without a spotter you only do it with safety bars. Or if you can actually tip it off yourself or roll it off. I've had 225 give out on me and I just placed it on my chest and rolled it downward until I could just deadlift it off me. Yeah it kinda hurts but it's better than your fucking neck. 😮‍💨

That's why you ask someone to spot while going for heavier lifts.

Imagine being suffocated to death while there's motivational music playing in your headphones ☠️

Don't use clips when doing bench alone and always have a spotter when on barbell bench press, when you don't have clips you can push the bar to either side and weights will fall off so you don't die

I swear you can actually hear these people getting dumber. I wonder how some of them breathe on their own. I hope this sucked as bad as I assume it did.

I think he learned his lesson and will never do that again.

Im sure a chinese spotter would have been useless anyway

where's the full 37:29

Could have at least had a wank to feel the benefit

we need that 37min version

Hopefully whoever found him, added a couple 45's, I'd be real ashamed to die from 275

Do you even lift bro? Arching more than the Gateway Arch, no spotter; you end up here. He weight was inverted, all the energy to create the arch depleted his stamina attribute -90.

died of coronavirus

I guarantee 2 dozen people walk by and did nothing. Literal bug people.

He died doing what he loved, 1/4 reps.

Must not be an actual fitness enthusiast because even people who don't do this shit know you have to have a spotter for these things.

you have to be kind of retarded at that point

What's the point of that much of an arch? You're turning it into a decline bench at that point

This is why you have spotters you fucking idiot. Do not feel bad for this guy at all. Darwinism at its best.

Such a reckless death.

What a stupid way to die😆
