  • Tragic event at my gym today

    So i get ready to have an arm day. I get my bar ready for skull crushers when these two guys are working next to me doing the same. They've been there for a while working out and I know one of them. He's a guy that's been training for NPC. The guy in the chair grabs a 90lb DB and gets ready to do overhead arm dumbbell extensions. I put my head down to pick up my bar for skull crushers when i hear this yelling and the dude in the chair gets up cursing and yelling. I first was like WTF? Than i see him on the ground rolling around shouting. His face is bright red and he is grabbing his left arm.

    My initial response is he's having a heart attack, some one call 911. It turns out his friend was like "I heard that too, i think you tore your tricep" He's like fuck my triceps are torn. I am like HOLY FUCK! His workout partner goes to a trainer and says to call 911 because there is a tricep torn. I go over to help him out and he's in pain, face is red, clinching his left elbow. He said his tricep's torn and can feel that shit loose and hanging.

    A trainer comes by and asks me to help move the benches aside so the paramedics come and take him out. 5min later he and the paramedics are on their way to the hospital.

    Scary stuff. This guy did a show in August and its sad to see him injured like this.
    I hope he's back in the gym soon.

        lol.... it was tragic because one the trainers at the gym has won show after show after show and he has his own lifting team i guess. He has a series of people that train under him and he makes sure they all win their weight class.

        The guy that injured himself was training under him and for this to happen just slowed him down.

            i have no idea about the warm up. Something about grabbing the weight made his tricep give out. I am assuming the position and angle he grabbed the dumbbell put a strain on his tricep. On top of that 90lbs is a good weight, i don't think he had proper form.

                      overhead tri extension are not a normal movement; I can't even get my arms to bend like that.Hopefully he can afford the surgery.

                          Some health insurance you gotta pay a certain amount out of pocket like 25%.
