oh wow, i've seen some where its like the spotters wait untill the weight is almost falling on his face before they do anything.
Ouch...SHIT! That had to hurt. Btw... http://www.vg.no/video/videoplayer/player.hbs?id=2424 <--- Fixed link.
I wouldn't push myself bench-pressing if I got to that level. These strongmen are dropping things everywhere, because they're trying to lift the weight of bears.
240 kilograms = 529.109429 pounds http://www.google.no/search?hl=no&q=240+kilos+to+pounds&btnG=Google-søk&meta= Watch his hands, and see how they drive a little forward before the bar slips. Lesson learned? Hold, really, really tight to he bar.
That looked like it really, really hurt. I've seen a few bad misses on the bench press but never someone dropping over 500lbs from near lockout on themselves. Does anyone know how badly he was hurt, I'm guessing he at least got a few cracked ribs.
He walked around almost like nothing happened, and they said on the news he had a couple of fractured ribs.
OMG!!! The bar bounched off his chest. Try to pause it when it hits his chest and see how far his chest caves in!!! Wolverine ///
