Thank you!

yep...and you squish your inferior vena cava and right atrium from all that internal pressure, reducing venous return, which further reduces cardiac output. When you add that on top of the vagal stimulation you mentioned- which slows down the rate rate - this significantly impairs the heart’s ability’s to compensate for the smaller volume of blood it is working with. So cardiac output goes waaaay down, and boom: blackout. It’s not due to carotid compression, as some say (it’s probably most common in max deadlift attempts) 👍🏼🤓

@@5hydroxyT I always take a knee after a hard set of deadlifts 'cause I've seen so many people take a faceplant instead! Used to get lightheaded now and then, hasn't happened since. So much junk, racks, weights etc. around the floor of many gyms, I'm amazed more people don't suffer serious injuries.

@@5hydroxyT Increasing intrathoracic pressure definitely decreases venous return (and therefore cardiac output) through the mechanism you describe. But the vagal stimulation isn’t caused by air (or anything else) pushing on the vagus directly as in the explanation Zack posted, it’s caused by the increased pressure in the carotid artery/sinus (which is actually innervated by the glossopharyngeal nerve, with the vagus being the efferent limb of the reflex) which is caused by the increased intrathoracic pressure. So it’s true that in weight lifters this isn’t caused by direct compression of carotid, it’s caused by increased thoracic pressure. BUT it can be caused by direct pressure on the carotid too, since the nerve doesn’t know the difference between a high arterial pressure vs someone karate chopping the carotid sinus. This is why carotid sinus massage used to be taught as a first line vagal maneuver for people with certain types of tachycardias, but while it’s still used in some cases we’ve mostly moved away from it in favor of Valsalva, since rubbing the sinus can dislodge plaques and cause stroke.

@@seal869 thanks for the clarification on that one! so stimulation of the vagus happens via the carotid sinus. i still feel (not sure exactly) that it’s unlikely someone could put direct pressure on their carotid arteries with a barbell - anatomically i think you would crush your trachea first which would be a slightly bigger problem...😮

I member that.

@@ricardolujanrangel7744 no I think it was actually zed

tak zoolander

Figured someone else would spot this as well. Had she been barefoot or wearing nearly any sort of shoe she probably wouldn't have ended up on her back.

Exactly dude commenting doesn't even know what the lift is, axle lift. Gabby Wichmans a beast. Previous NZ strongest woman champion and now at City Kickboxing since last year for MMA. She'd beat this guys ass lifting or fighting any day of the week

@@jayel7308 First of all Zaxk knows what the lift is, he literally says this particular lift is garbage and should be changed. Second of all, athletes have coaches for a reason: they are not perfect and need help with knowledge, technique, training, etc... Do you go telling every coach to stop talking because they are worse than the athletes?

@@user-cf1iw7tf3k maybe they’ll let her keep the socks with the grips on the bottom once she gets out of the hospital for next time

Agreed

Super useful! I started doing some simple weightlifting movements as supplements to my normal strength training thanks to Zack, now if it ever goes wrong I'll know what to do

I like this format too, would be nice to see more of this

He is laughing at these people? I wish he hadn't sunken to that level, because he is a solid and knowledgeable youtuber

@@jubilantyogurt are we not allowed to laugh at things that are funny anymore?

woah nice to see you here

Zack talked about it in another video, if using strap for any weightlifting movement where you need to bail only wrap the strap once around the bar and outwards, not back through the hand hole. So when you need to bail the strap will slip off and not get caught on itself.

Smart idea. It just doesn't seem worth it unless your life/income depends on winning weightlifting competitions.

@@ljaki23 Honestly straps for anything outside deadlifting seems insane. The risk may be lower if your technique is good and you do the straps the right way, but its' never zero. You could so easily rip your shoulder out of your socket and be done weightlifting for the rest of your life.

@@HolyTurtleOfDoom noted. No more straps for lat pull downs for me💯💯

Check out Sam Le Serf, high level strongman middle weight strongman. Does a Zercher clean and jerk with the axel, pretty sure he has done ~180kg

I’m not going to make it easy for you

@@zacktelander do it

@@aidanhowell5780 *DEW IT.*

Why would you want a video of this? I can sum it up into one word.

Yeah you should wu it…um I mean coach wu it… I mean do it.. yeah

That just looks rough cause he is properly unconcious, you can easily dislocate something because you are so limp.

did the log hit his leg? that looked horrible.

He's fine

Isn't this the mechanism of injury for concussion?

@@kyrie4451 Yes.

Agreed definitely this and not a vaso. I'd imagine the immediate pain on the jaw didn't help the situation.

Don't ego lift

Yeah it looked like a few were Powerlifters playing around with Olympic snatches/ cleans, they have the strength but not the mobility. Most of the decent weightlifters I've seen at the gym spend half their training session practicing form and flexibility. They look like their color guards for 30 minutes, then bam they pile on the kilos.

Its still risky tho.. best to have someone close by to catch you if you pass.out immediately

I lay on the floor at the slightest dizziness

its usually fine if you your just power cleaning or doing lighter weights for full cleans to help improve mobility but ya max cleans that may lead to failure shouldnt be done with straps

Don’t lift with your hands, Lift with your ELBOOOWS.

I thought I was the only one that heard it!

That's a good way to visualise it. Someone like Toshiki fails back squats exactly like that.

Ah yess, a fellow ass to grass squatter

That injury was more due to carelessness than it was do to the split jerk tbh; the guy didn't move his leg because he didn't care.

@@MickyMs looking at it closer looks like he probably just bruised it. Ive hit my leg before dropping jerks from overhead it definitely hurts and can be dangerous. But i think it looks like he didnt seriously snap anything at least.

yeah, she slipped doing a continental clean. funny tho'
