Ronnie Coleman Broke His back. Unable To Walk

[YoungFlyGentleman]

pulled my back coming up with 425 squatting a couple months back

WORST PAIN EVER

I had to sleep on my side and since i never do that naturally, i couldn't sleep at all

walked all funny, took like 5 minutes to stand up fully and i never let anybody at work know i fukked my back up (foolish pride and such) so they asking why im walking like that

just constant uncomfortable shyt for like 2 weeks, i took like 6 advils a day and i will NEVER attempt 425 again (without a belt)

mane I'd rather be a weak fukk benching 200 all my life than fukk my body up like this

gym bros need a reality check on what that shyt does to your body in the long term before they go all out like Ronnie did

and it's all love for bruh hope he recovers and lives long and happy years

I wouldn't blame this on lifting. This was actually a football injury that was made worse by lifting. So my take away is playing football

I would. There’s no way deadlifting and squatting 600+lbs is good for your back.

No defiiitely not, but I also like to blame football for things just cause.

Just use freeweights and calisthenics..eat right. Cardio. All you need. Heavy lifting is absurd.

I don't know a single FB player, no matter the level, leave the sport without long term injury.
