I can't tell what happened but I bet he said "Ouch!"

It is too far away and a bad angles but it looks like it slipped off his hands to me.

I've seen that a few times. Most likely broken rips and some internal damage at least I would think.

the spotters were useless.... if they were paying attention this never would've happened. it was too heavy and he could not hold the negative. I saw this on TV a long time ago - he walked away from it with no significant injuries

It looks like he had a "thumbs over" grip on the bar, and it was just too much weight.

Wow, all that psyching up, eating crap, carrying a gut around 24/7, 365 like a pregnant woman, just for that. Powerlifting has never impressed me too much. If it's your thing then thats cool, but it has never appealed to me. I got a buddy who powerlifts, strong guy until you take away his equipment and bench shirt, then he's ****ing with the big dogs.

Rychlak is a moron. I'm sorry, but there is no point in pushing THAT MUCH weight. Honest to God, its moronic to me. Just my opinion

Maybe I saw a different one then. It was awhile back on RealTV.
