Assuming that we're in the same timezone (EST) I will have this done on time:
The article I am reacting and summarizing to is "Russian powerlifting champion Alexander Sedykh breaks both knees during 800-pound squat attempt" by By Chris Bengel, August 14, 2020.
Alexander Sedykh, a Russian powerlifting champion, suffered a fracture to both knees and snapped both his quads while struggling to lift 880 pounds. He now has to lie in bed for a month, but has since had his knees put back together and his quadriceps resewn. He now has to be taught how to walk again.
My reaction to this article was amazed yet horrified. It sets a good boundary for anyone trying to lift the same amount of weight. His first mistake was taking steps backwards. This puts 880 pounds on each of his legs individually. I am surprised he didn't snap there and then. Although that is intriguing, I think that the most horrifying part to me was the spotters watching Sedyhk. They were half his size, and there was zero way they would've been able to stop the weight even if they tried.
