Daymnnn....Powerlifter Brandon Lilly breaks knee during 750lb squat!

[Exiled Martian]

I was just reading up on the Cube method whe I stumbled onto this video..... for those of you who know, Brandon Lilly is the founder of the CUBE method (Strength training program)... Apparantely this injury happened back in January?!..

"As of right now without surgery I'd never walk again as I sheared my ACL, meniscus, patella, tore both quad tendons, and MCL in both knees and the knee cap in my left knee will be replaced. I go in for surgery in 10-15 minutes".

Fuuuuuuck man, had to be off the charts painful.man wishing him a speedy recovery

Sucks because I've seen Lilly lift 750 RAW (in his other v idz) before so it wasn't like this was some obscene weight for him.

One thing to be cognizant of is that an injury like this can happen at any moment in powerlifting and we are taking risks every day. It can be over at any moment. Lilly loved to add a lot of volume to his regimen and that's the only thing I can think of that would have caused his knees to fail like that. Or maybe it's just like RBs in the NFL, eventually you will get hurt and when you do, it's just a matter of the severity. We celebrate guys who push their bodies to the limit, but there are no guarantees in powerlifting Be safe chasing that Strength brehs!

I knew not to click on this and clicked anyway morbid ass curiousity


The bottom of a heavy squat is one of the most alive feelings you can have but at the same time it's one of the scariest voluntary positions to put yourself in.

yikes. .. he tore EVERYTHING. Hope dude makes a full recovery mentally as he heals them wheels up, I'd be leery to lean on a squat rack much less actually do it after this.

[BezO]

Damn! Right now I don't want to see it just a bit more than I do. Not clicking... yet.

This is why i'm scared to do heavy squats.

Stuff like this is why I have no desire to lift obscene amounts of weights. As long as I'm seeing aesthetic muscle growth I'm good on all that. Ain't tryna impress nobody wit 600 pound ATG squats. I work out at home anyway.

Hope homie makes a full recovery.
