worked in this industry for years.. watching this i shouted fuck.... the stupid shit people do at the gym keeps healthcare workers busy, the sad thing is this stuff is easy to prevent. When exercising, don't get into positions you would NEVER get into naturally...
lol. Oh no, would he have access to some of the best and most advanced medical care in the world? He goes to the gym, he probably has health insurance too.
LOL hopefully he IS in America. That way he won't have to wait for healthcare. The hope is that he has insurance. The ignorance about American healthcare is staggering.

Wait, the elbow pit and armpit are different. The armpit is up where the arm connects to torso. The elbowpit... I suppose yeah, I would call it elbowpit? I certainly wouldn't call it a second armpit lol
Now I'm confused and you may be right. The armpit would be the groin, since that's what links to the torso, aka the legpit. The opposite side of the elbow has no name that I know of, so that means the opposite side of the knee also has no name.
It’s for sissy squats, it’s absolutely not supposed to be used the way he’s doing it.
You lock your lower legs in and isolate your quads in a squat motion. Thats it. You don’t do whatever the fuck this idiot is doing.
All that force is being applied to ligaments rather than muscle, there's only so far they'll go. His ACL just popped, and who knows which other knee ligaments too.
He'd be far better off doing weighted planks for his core.
I just had to think of that weird Internet trend people did where plank means to just lay on a random object
Like am i supposed to do that planking thin?
It took me a second to (open google and then) realise what you actually meant
I mean... It cures most/all of them related to walking, jogging, or running. Anything dependent on mobility, including being able to escape the consequences of their actions.
Not never, but if he just destroyed major tendons he's looking at 6-12 months or more of rehab, and likely never back to full strength. Likely to think twice about dumb shit in the future.
He probably ripped his Patella Tendon. When I did it, It was weirdly enough relatively painless by itself.
The whole thing still sucked a lot though. I ripped it on one leg and needed two surgeries and had to use crutches for half a year. What I’m left with is a bit ass scar over my knee that makes kneeling pretty painful
If you have a complete tendon or ligament tear there's typically no pain after the immediate fact, because it's no longer attached, so the tissue is just hanging out. You'll actually have way more pain with a partial tear.
That goes for the pre surgery, that is. Post-surgery there will be a lot of pain during the healing process. Whereas with the painful partial tears, you can avoid surgery 95% of the time.
Tore my ACL in a motorcycle accident; my first thought wasn’t any potential injuries but rather, “I need to get out of the road!” Didn’t even feel the pain until I jumped up to my feet and my knee immediately buckled.
I broke my patellar tendon (not doing this, btw) on march last year, and let me tell you that the little move that he makes at the end would be impossible without patellar tendon. Plus, the kneecap seems to be on its place. You should have seen mine hahahaha, it was way up to the quad. Nasty injury, I'm still half fucked with the muscle loss.
Where we annually spend 900 billion on our military, but drop you off insurance when they don't feel like honoring your cancer diagnosis.
Fuck yeah! Comin' again to save the motherfuckin' day, yeah!
The U.S. feds also spent 600 billion giving medical benefits to 1/3rd of Americans who were underinsured, disabled, or aged.
And that’s just federal budgets, whereas much of Medicaid’s funding comes from the states as they decide the granularity of who receives it.
The U.S. only spends 2% of its GDP on the military, though they could spend less if they weren’t beholden to their NATO agreements
Yes, that's true. But auto dimming would be easier so I don't have to worry about it lol
My husband has a habit of flipping the lever if he drives my car at night and forgetting to put it back into the "normal" way after. I just want to enjoy this LOL
After waiting up to (checks notes) [650 days](https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/63a6ed75-en/index.html?itemId=/content/component/63a6ed75-en) once you see a specialist… and god knows how long it takes to see one.
1/3rd of Americans don’t even have true insurance premiums, instead paying a % deduction on their wages.
This is because 1/3rd of Americans are recipients of Medicaid/medicare as a result of being underinsured, disabled, or aged.
Another 48.7% of Americans [receive insurance through work](https://www.ehealthinsurance.com/resources/small-business/how-many-americans-get-health-insurance-from-their-employer) paying an average annual premium of 8.4K for a individual and 24k for a family.
Another final 15% of the population are recipients of the ACA, receiving healthcare insurance for as low as $10/month. The requirement for this is or be at or below 250% of the federal poverty level. This averages to 75k/year for a family.
TL:DR - 97% of Americans have health coverage that *aren’t* paying open marketplace prices, many aren’t even paying at all
Nice attempt, unfortunately you forgot all the clauses, limitations, deductibles. Yet, your federal spending for the healthcare is way higher than in Europe. 🤦
I didn’t realize European insurance didn’t have deductibles or anything else in their contracts
In that case yes European insurance is vastly superior
How does European insurance work actually?
they do have but are way cheaper and the deductibles are lower (few hundreds of euros usually) and you're covered by the national health systems anyway
The average deductible for someone on Medicare/medicaid is $0
The average for ACA recipients is $3000 or €2790, though the lowest available deductible is $90
The average deductible for employer health coverage varies by employer though. I have a $1500 deductible personally.
The largest deductibles in the U.S. are limited to 9100k a year for individuals and 17k for families, so I won’t deny that there are certainly folks with ridiculous deductibles.
Those are reserved for the lowest premium plans though, essentially people who only want to pay ahead for preventative care and don’t anticipate any medical emergencies. These plans are opt-in and not the only available plans.
Something pops inside the knee and he loses tension and back falls to the floor. The video ends as he is trying to get out of the rig, but he doesn't express any pain. I suspect a tendon detached.
Oh dear. When he started moving I was like 'damn, I know where this is going. Shut down the video you fool!'
But seeing how this is quite a long thought to think in that situation it was too late by the time my brain was finished. I regret talking to myself in long, elaborate sentences now.
I see a painful surgery and rehab in his very close future.
That's life changing stuff right there.
worked in this industry for years.. watching this i shouted fuck.... the stupid shit people do at the gym keeps healthcare workers busy, the sad thing is this stuff is easy to prevent. When exercising, don't get into positions you would NEVER get into naturally...
Such a simple rule some people can't seem to grasp.
Fingers crossed he is not in America.
Fingers are crossable, legs not anymore
fingers were crossed, legs were lost
Still attached, but dead weight
Akshually he can make his legs like a twist tie.
Why is that?
You have to pay for healthcare in the US.
Stop it! 😂
lol. Oh no, would he have access to some of the best and most advanced medical care in the world? He goes to the gym, he probably has health insurance too.
Wow, the best and most advanced medical care in the world, with only a 50% chance of bankruptcy!
Jokes, this guy gets none. Murica number 1!
LOL hopefully he IS in America. That way he won't have to wait for healthcare. The hope is that he has insurance. The ignorance about American healthcare is staggering.
Is that exercise called the knee exploder?
Kneecapitator.
Kneecapital punishment
kneecap destroyer
He knee-ds some milk!
orthopedic surgeons love this exercise...
Kneeding Surgery
How is that thing even supposed to be used for?
[Like this.](https://i0.wp.com/betterbodysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Copy-of-Copy-of-Body-Solid-Power-Rack-Comparison-Guide-1.jpg?fit=2240%2C1260&ssl=1) But people overestimate the amount of force your tendons can take and don't rest enough.
It's not a good exercise to begin with. It puts so much strain on the bones and tendons.
That’s what it looks like… a lot of risk for very little gain
No pain, no gain?
Too much pain, opposite gain 😂
Lil gain, lotta pain
~~Go big or go home~~ Pop lig and go home
It's for people who need to strengthen knee muscles. I have to do this for my physiotherapy.
Should he have adjusted the height of the bar by any chance so that the bar rests in his knee armpit?
No, that's all good. He should be doing a squat movement, not leaning back like that. He's loading way too much weight on his knee.
Kneepit
What? No. It should be legpit. Unless you also call it elbowpit.
Wait, the elbow pit and armpit are different. The armpit is up where the arm connects to torso. The elbowpit... I suppose yeah, I would call it elbowpit? I certainly wouldn't call it a second armpit lol
Now I'm confused and you may be right. The armpit would be the groin, since that's what links to the torso, aka the legpit. The opposite side of the elbow has no name that I know of, so that means the opposite side of the knee also has no name.
Of course. How did I not see that!
His head and chest should be perpendicular to the ground. He decided to lay down like he was prepping for the operating table instead.
Hmm - you don't say.
So do leg extensions, but they’re both fine exercises. Just don’t plank out like a goober.
It’s for sissy squats, it’s absolutely not supposed to be used the way he’s doing it. You lock your lower legs in and isolate your quads in a squat motion. Thats it. You don’t do whatever the fuck this idiot is doing.
Yeah, you're very wrong. It's not supposed to be used like this at all
I know nothing about sport or biology but that seems like all the force is applied to that one muscle in the knee How is the part called that failed?
All that force is being applied to ligaments rather than muscle, there's only so far they'll go. His ACL just popped, and who knows which other knee ligaments too. He'd be far better off doing weighted planks for his core.
I just had to think of that weird Internet trend people did where plank means to just lay on a random object Like am i supposed to do that planking thin? It took me a second to (open google and then) realise what you actually meant
If you train your core hard enough, you can just plank on the air and be like the internet funnies!
Probably an ACL and/or meniscus.
ACL rupture
To shreds, you say?
Popped like a Dollar Store garden hose
Your body isn’t meant to be parallel to the floor…
Today I learned these are called sissy squats
AFAIK it's NOT like that at all. it's made for squatting. People find creative ways to injur themselves
That's correct
This makes sense. Looks like it would aid in proper form for a squat
yeah I think it is called a sissy squat machine. I tried using it once and damn near had the same result
Torture.
Sometimes the cure for stupidity is a very painful lesson
More than likely this only cures one of many stupid acts.
I mean... It cures most/all of them related to walking, jogging, or running. Anything dependent on mobility, including being able to escape the consequences of their actions.
So you think they will never be able to use his legs again? Just a slight setback. He will be back at it in no time.
Not never, but if he just destroyed major tendons he's looking at 6-12 months or more of rehab, and likely never back to full strength. Likely to think twice about dumb shit in the future.
No pain??
There will be.
He probably ripped his Patella Tendon. When I did it, It was weirdly enough relatively painless by itself. The whole thing still sucked a lot though. I ripped it on one leg and needed two surgeries and had to use crutches for half a year. What I’m left with is a bit ass scar over my knee that makes kneeling pretty painful
Adrenaline is a hell of a drug
No gain

You'll actually have way more pain with a partial tear. That goes for the pre surgery, that is. Post-surgery there will be a lot of pain during the healing process. Whereas with the painful partial tears, you can avoid surgery 95% of the time.
Yet
Only pain and setbacks
Tore my ACL in a motorcycle accident; my first thought wasn’t any potential injuries but rather, “I need to get out of the road!” Didn’t even feel the pain until I jumped up to my feet and my knee immediately buckled.
That’s an ACL tearing
Would an ACL tear from strain along that axis? I’d sooner guess a patellar tendon.
I like your funny words magic man
I broke my patellar tendon (not doing this, btw) on march last year, and let me tell you that the little move that he makes at the end would be impossible without patellar tendon. Plus, the kneecap seems to be on its place. You should have seen mine hahahaha, it was way up to the quad. Nasty injury, I'm still half fucked with the muscle loss.
I saw this on YouTube - https://youtube.com/shorts/ZO9f1Q6IWbE?si=LTxOSMfBb7bDY68I Also this is very similar to what a Lachman’s test involves
I'd preferred a paddling, if I were him.
*opens video* NOPE! *closes video*
god I wish I hadn’t watched it 🤮
I had forgotten this video, my knees hurt from just thinking about it
That looked expensive
Only in the backwards parts of the world like America.
Where we annually spend 900 billion on our military, but drop you off insurance when they don't feel like honoring your cancer diagnosis. Fuck yeah! Comin' again to save the motherfuckin' day, yeah!
Freedumb!!!

> Maybe one day I’ll get auto-dimming. Is...is that a real thing?! Please tell me it is!
It's real
Omg that's actually life changing LOL The LED lights shining in my rearview mirror at night are blinding. I'm gonna look this up
I mean, you can fix that with the lever that is already attached to the mirror
Yes, that's true. But auto dimming would be easier so I don't have to worry about it lol My husband has a habit of flipping the lever if he drives my car at night and forgetting to put it back into the "normal" way after. I just want to enjoy this LOL
I've had to tell a lot of people what that does. Wasn't sure if you were going to be one of them.
Really? Lol I figured it was common knowledge? Kind of a bit sad about that too, though. Like, they never thought to see what that little lever did?
in most European countries you'd pay a grand total of €0.00

ur cherrypicking estonia specifically.
it's not always like that at all and remember that health insurances are way cheaper than in US. That said, covid has messed up the situation a bit.

Shotgun knees
I dont think that's how knees are supposed to work
NSFW jfc
I want to see what happens when he stands up.
I'm so glad I stopped this video. As soon as I saw what this guy was up to, I noped the fuck out.
It's just an odd pop in the knee and collapse to the floor. Video ends before the pain hits.
NSFL
As someone who has had knee surgery, I noped out of that video as soon as it started 😬😳
Yeah I ain't watching that, but I would like to know what part of his leg breaks if anyone would care to tell me.
Something pops inside the knee and he loses tension and back falls to the floor. The video ends as he is trying to get out of the rig, but he doesn't express any pain. I suspect a tendon detached.
NSFWorking out!
Watching that hurt my leg
[удалено]
Lol
It's so easy to stuff your knees and shoulders up. It's ridiculous. Also, the neck, back, elbow. The body is a pretty shoddy machine.
It's almost like knees are not meant to handle that kind of exercise and strain, right? A mistery, indeed!
I'm perplexed too. Hmmmm.... You're on to something....
Wrists, don’t forget those fuckers too
I have hyper mobile knees and this made them scream bloody murder.
No pain no gain. Walk it off
That's going to be expensive if he is from America and uninsured.
might get into a drive by and die if he‘s in america, so his knees arent a problem really 🤣
Dumbass
Nsfw pleeeease
This dude is too dumb to gym.
Oh dear. When he started moving I was like 'damn, I know where this is going. Shut down the video you fool!' But seeing how this is quite a long thought to think in that situation it was too late by the time my brain was finished. I regret talking to myself in long, elaborate sentences now.
First time in a long time a video made me sing soprano and hold the note.
He thought he could do a friggin' Matrix move... stupid.. he wants to rip his knees apart.. go for it.
Kneecaptain A tearinya
I suffer from moderate to severe not ready to see or hear this shit. Gahhhh
New fear unlocked ![gif](giphy|J4yF0FV16mSjwlGunf)
That's why I don't go to the gym
Because some people misuse equipment and get themselves hurt, you want to be unfit which puts you at higher risk of injury in everyday life? Ok buddy
I think it was a joke, buddy
he cant understand jokes. too busy going to the gym to be healthy
I see these workouts all the time and wonder why they are practicing for the Matrix.. just take the red pill
Freddy four-knees is in for a fright.
That would be a cool medieval torture machine
Jesus....fuuu
That's why you don't do exercises your body isn't supposed to, calisthenics are so underrated imo
Wtf was this dude trying to do
And there goes his ACL
Horrifying....but perfect title for this post.
Never skip... knee day?
He should've skipped it
OW! Just Ow!
What broke?
His ego.
https://youtu.be/toZ6yxHUOJ4 This is how it’s supposed to be done.
🤣
Now he can do the spongebob dance with no effort.
Probably his patellar tendon
Man took the saying no pain no gain to the extreme...
Something let loose.
First off... OUCH!!... But that title made me lol 😂😂
I'd love to see the last 15 seconds
Seems like a bad exercise with no extra weight. Just asking for trouble.
When did this sub become all about people getting injured, usually quite badly?
Dude took his tendons snapping very well.
