(borrowing the title from the Queen of All Media, Perez Hilton)
It was in fact the mighty Perez Hilton who brought this to my attention. As cool as the Olympics are, it is actually kinda difficult to find what you want to see.
Weight lifting is one of the safest sports around, but there are still accidents.
I think I first heard the following quote from noted strength coach Eric Cressey, and I think he was quoting someone else. In any event it goes something like this:
If you workout with weights you will end up in the orthopedist’s office. If you don’t workout with weights you will end up in cardiologist’s office.
I know which one I choose.
The guy in the video below, Janos Baranyai, will definitely be at a orthopedist’s office in the very near future.
Remember when Joe Theisman broke his leg on live TV? Neither do I , but I have seen it since then. This is a similar (yet not quite as bad) video.
Do not press play.
You have been warned.
I guarantee Janos will be back in the weight room. As I would be. Bones heal faster than hearts (the biological ones anyway).
