Bodybuilder Justin Vicki was known all over the world. The 33-year-old athlete became famous primarily thanks to his video blog, in which he talked about all the most important nuances of “building” an ideal body, from diet to details of training with a demonstration of correct and safe work with heavy weights. Millions of viewers watched the teacher’s lessons with pleasure, and when the news of the tragedy in Bali spread throughout the world, the athlete’s fans were shocked. Even more shocking was Vicki’s cause of death. If you call things by his name, the athlete was ruined by his self-confidence. Exercise with a 204-kilogram barbell, which was the last in his life, he himself repeatedly called one of the most dangerous, but at the same time indispensable in the training of a bodybuilder. And in doing so, he made a mistake that turned out to be fatal.

not enough hands
In accordance with all the canons of safety precautions, which Vicki often liked to mention, when working with such weights, it is necessary for at least two to secure the approaching athlete. Why she chose to go against her advice this time remains a mystery. But the fact is that Justin only had one insurer. As a result, the last video in the life of an athlete can only be viewed by people with very strong nerves. Vicki almost immediately lost control of the projectile and began to literally collapse under an unbearable load. As a result, her fall from the bar caused a fracture of the cervical vertebrae and compression of vital nerves. It was no longer possible to help Justin: he died from injuries incompatible with life.
rules written in blood
This nightmare story, like almost any other, has two sides. The death of a healthy 33-year-old man, full of strength, is without doubt a tragedy. But Justin’s fans got the last lesson from his virtual mentor, and he will be remembered for the rest of his life. No matter how sometimes he wants to give up any security measures in a fit of emotions and enthusiasm, once again flaunting his heroic strength, this should not be done in any case. Luck is not infinite, and when it comes to loads on the verge of human capabilities, everything must be foreseen, even ridiculous accidents. Or, if it is not possible to observe all the precautions from one point to another at this time, refuse to perform a risky exercise. Otherwise, exercising in the gym, aimed at improving your health, can instantly lead to irreparable consequences.
