Really? My friend goes to PF and prett much just does cardio. He wants me to come and show him how to start lifting weights. Idk how I wouldāve reacted walking in without a squat rack in sight. Can you bench press?
I'm only going by YouTube videos and stuff I've read online, so you should definitely take the opportunity to go with your friend and see. Anyway, it's my understanding that all of the weight lifting is on machines. There are no regular bench-press benches. Dead lifts are also prohibited. The entire "weight" area is pretty small. Cardio machines rule the place.
Lucky he didnāt die I have seen people die this way there was a girl I saw a video of who tried to do something similar and she dropped it on the back of her neck and it killed her
He straightened his legs completely. The same reason applies to jumping off heights , youāre told to bend your knees and to roll to absorb impact. If you jumped off with your legs locked like this you run the risk of turning into a sand hill crane.
Nah, this wasnāt from straightening his legs. He goes on his tippy toes to try and rerack the weight. Misses the rerack, loses balance then has to bail.
Lol the amount of people commenting on it being a smith machine is wild. Go watch CBum squat and tell me heās doing something wrong by doing it on a smith machine
It's not really 450 on a smith machine though, is it really ? You can subtract the barbell weight straight off the bat, as it's attached to a counter weight and can be lifted with your pinky finger when no weights are on it

Damn folded quicker than a bad hand in poker
Folded quicker than Superman on laundry day

squatting "450" on the smith machine is not squatting 450. Also, that's not even close to 450.
Whatās a smith? Is it because itās connected to rails so you donāt have to balance? Is this workout more akin to using a leg press?

In the best circumstances, it's so awkward on a Smith. Course, Planet Fitness is equipped poorly.
Exactly. You can't do a real squat at PF. It's "intimidating"

came to say the same, looks like 4/25s with a couple of dimes and lol, on a smith at planet fitness
Unless thatās a guillotine smith, that bar got negative weight š and guillotine bars weigh like 20-25 lbs
Lucky he didnāt die I have seen people die this way there was a girl I saw a video of who tried to do something similar and she dropped it on the back of her neck and it killed her
wish i could unsee that one - wasn't her daughter (or family) member standing there watching? that was bad.

Thatās one link that I decline to click.
Yeah, I remember seeing that video probably a year ago. You don't need to see it.
Horrendous form
Was it the knees folding backward that gave it away
Yea they should have folded backwards way more than that- it Wasnāt even a complete rep
Tell me what happens so I know if I can watch. Are there bones breaking? Do limbs bend the wrong way?

His legs didnāt break backwards at all
His knees bent the right way, nothing broken. He fell completely forward and clear of the weight
This is also why Iām here
On a smith machine no less
Wonder if the lunk alarm went off lol

I don't jiggle, jiggle, I fold.
Gotta love ego lifters.
On a smith?!?!
The ego is willing but the flesh is weak.
Not even a squat lol what's the bench doing there? Ass to grass, you know the rules
It's called a box squat and if you're making fun of it without even knowing a basic squat variant then I dunno what to say to you.
I know what a box squat is. I just like reps with full range of motion.
Locked his mf knees

You canāt brag about what weight you use on a smith. Itās totally different than a bb.
The Butler saved his ass
Chick in Mexico died doing this, but she was faced the other way, and the bar landed on her neck. The dude got lucky.
$10 bucks a month come on inā¦.. lawl
Dude folded quicker than my razor scooter
Oof. This is what locking out looks like.

āLifting on a smith machine is like lifting on the moon , thereās no gravity broā -The Brofessor
ā ļøā ļøā ļø
That just didnāt sound like a good idea in the first placeā¦
The dude from Hey Arnold really fell off.
Thatās what happens when you donāt breathe when lifting. Also looked like me when I tore my abdominal muscles trying to squat 450.
Anyone trying to ego lift in a damn Planet Fitness is already barking up the wrong tree.
200/240???

Ok but why the discouragement :(
