A 22-year-old walked into the gym to get stronger.
One heavy deadlift later, he suffered a severe spinal fracture.
Gymming is one of the best habits you can have. But ego lifting is not strength.
❌ Lifting for social media
❌ Lifting to impress others
❌ Loading weights your body isn't prepared for
The result can be :
-Spinal fractures
-Slipped discs
-Nerve damage
-Loss of bowel & bladder control
-Permanent paralysis
This young man was fortunate. He reached a neurosurgeon in time, underwent surgery, and is recovering well.
Not everyone gets a second chance.
Train smart.
Learn proper technique.
Progress gradually.
Get proper supervision for heavy lifts.
Your spine doesn't care about your ego.
