A popular Youtube fitness influencer and bodybuilder named Justyn Vicky has died aged 33 after a routine squat in the gym went disastrously wrong. And the entire incident was captured on video, while he was creating fitness content for social media, Media Take Out has learned.
Justin, who in addition to being a fitness influencer was also a personal trainer, tragically died during a freak accident at the gym while performing a back squat.
According to reports, the bodybuilder was attempting to squat 460lbs when the accident occurred in Sanur, Bali.
In video footage, which has since gone viral, the 33-year-old from East Java, Indonesia, was seen struggling while trying to extend his legs as the heavy bar weighs down upon his shoulders.
But in a shocking twist, the stacked barbell comes crashing down onto the back of his neck – pushing his head forward at a gruesome angle.
Squatting heavy weights – like Justyn was doing is extremely dangerous. Typically a weight lifter should have a spotter with him – to help him in case of a catastrophic failure.
Justyn did have a spotter in this case, but it didn’t seem to matter.
