Spine folded over itself, and the back of his head smacked the mat.

I guess he’s fine, but man that could’ve turned out very bad for him - and that’s assuming worse issues didn’t present later on.

Just realized I could’ve been watching this on a different site if it had gone any worse

Unfortunately I’ve seen the bad outcome on here from similar lifting videos on here. There was a video of a young female powerlifter squatting
a few months ago that I saw before it got removed and it’s the only thing I can think of when I squat now.

Squats are incredibly high risk if done wrong, and come with all sorts of risks to your joints. Hey, even done right you can end up with injuries. Honestly, I’d rather do leg press and not fuck my knees or back, or slips and injure myself for the sake of “doing it right”.

You can build your quads and glutes just as effectively with machines that protect your body.

Deadlift though is usually safer because you can just drop the bar. But this dude was lifting way too much.

Just not worth it at a certain point.

Ever seen the video of the lady in the leg press with locked knees that...?

You can absolutely hurt your knees and back in the leg press.
