- Nice, okay.
Please don't pop a muscle.
Oh, yeah!
Oh my gosh, I heard it.
I heard it.
Oh my gosh.
Boxing KOs with a new twist, heavy heavyweights
and the old bend and snap.
What?
Today we are back at it breaking down and reacting
to all of the crazy medical mishaps and gym injuries
from workouts gone terribly wrong.
All right, let's dive right in.
First off, wait a minute.
That is a lot of weights.
Somebody do the calculation for me.
Explode!
Oh no, oh!
It comes down on the lower cervical vertebrae.
So the biggest thing that you worry about
is could you actually snap one
of the spinous processes off
which are the bones that you can actually feel
on your back and you could, and there's a lot
of attachments for ligaments there as well.
So he can cause a lot of pain.
Then as the bar rolls forward
it smacks the back of his head in the occiput area.
If you get hit really hard in the back there,
you can actually cause some blurry vision.
Oh!
Same attempt.
Blue plates are classically known to be 45 pounds
or about 20 kilograms.
Forced weight right to the back of the neck
can cause not just spinous process fractures,
but potentially like transect your cord.
You can get bleeding and edema
around the spinal cord and cause neurologic dysfunction.
So literally be careful with this.
Obviously you can't use like neck protectors,
but if you're gonna bailout on the weight,
get the weight away from you so it doesn't land on you.
Oh!
(doctor laughing)
I'm only laughing because it's kind of happened
to me before.
Doing pull-ups, fantastic.
Doing a little bit of assistance with the pull-ups.
That's a pretty light band, so only taking a little bit
of weight off, that's fantastic,
but you really gotta get it set before using it,
otherwise it can snap up and get you and it got him
right in the face.
Probably cause a little bit of swelling,
but it'll heal on its own.
You gotta be careful with those.
You don't want these to hit your eye
because you can cause abrasion, a laceration,
and just traumatic iritis
which is inflammation of the cells of the eye itself.
Now, that's a big swi-.
(doctor laughing)
I'm sorry, but that was like a slow more fail.
Hyper flexion of the head.
You mostly see like avulsion fractures
where people will actually,
because of the bend, they're still attached ligament wise
and tendon wise, you'll actually snap off a piece
of bone because it's attached to one of those.
Typically they heal pretty well,
but obviously they still hurt.
We always worry about the spinal cord actually
getting injured because you can actually stretch
and pull it in different directions
that it's not supposed to go
and you can actually cause edema, swelling,
an.d injury to it.
Oh
So if that was a plywood box
that would've left a lot of skin on that box.
You gotta be really careful with jumping on boxes
with weights like that in your hand
and in that situation you have a wall in front of you
that you can actually smacked his face and head
against the wall doing a hyper extension.
You can snap, again, parts of your vertebral bodies
can actually snap.
You can cause spinous process fractures.
Landed right in the abdomen, kind of low.
So you can land and hit the pelvic bones,
typically cause some bruising, unlikely any fractures.
Oh geez.
No jumping with the door.
No, don't do that.
Do not do jumping.
Do not do kipping pullups because they're not made for that.
They're made for very static pullups.
It can unlatch super easy
and then you're falling from a pretty high height.
Oh, so you could see immediate grimace
to the face, landing right on the lumbar spine.
Fractures can happen.
You know the worst case is if there's actually something
on the ground and you land, that can actually
cause you to have a significant like fractured dislocation
and cause severe spinal cord trauma.
If you have continued back pain, get to the hospital,
get x-rays, make sure you don't have fractures,
you know, he could have landed right on his sacrum.
The sacrum is a fusion of the bones of the lower back
which can cause significant injury.
Can fracture, can rotate.
All right, cool.
Got a weighted medicine ball.
(doctor laughing)
That's why a lot of the medicine balls actually
are even deadpan.
Meaning like you throw it down and they just stay down
on the ground and then you have to pick it back up.
Getting smacked in the chin.
We got people who do get injuries where they get hit
in the chin itself.
You can, due to the trauma,
literally can lacerate your chin,
it can split right open.
If we see any underlying tissue, we're gonna close it up.
The other thing that could also happen
is you bite your own tongue by accident
if your mouth is open.
You can bust a tooth and then unlikely a concussion,
you may get some cervical strain,
neck strain, 'cause you whiplash back
and then you come through.
It's just like a car accident.
Soreness in their neck for one to two days, even three days.
And sometimes you'll actually get a referral headache.
Nice, okay.
Please don't pop a muscle
Oh, yeah, oh my gosh, I heard it.
I heard it.
Oh my gosh.
Using a lifting belt
in a situation where you're bench pressing
you probably don't wanna do that
'cause you wanna actually develop your core muscles.
That right pec.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ouch.
You can see that thing pop and tighten right up.
You have your pec major and your pec miner.
So the pec major is probably the one that just popped.
Attaching to the humorous itself, your shoulder.
That's why, you know, obviously we use our arms to move it
so you can cause contraction.
Our muscles are stretched so when it actually ruptures
and rips off, it's just like a rubber band
and then just kind of coils right back up.
You can have that reattached, it can be fixed,
obviously go get it fixed or get evaluated.
Atlas lift, right?
I think that's an Atlas lift.
Big ball.
Oh, ooh, did he tear his bicep?
- [Announcer] Oh, it looks like he just tore his bicep.
- Oh, even the announcer.
It's like, oh, the distal attachment
of the bicep is what ruptures.
Biceps, you have two, right, triceps you have three.
So usually one of the heads will rupture right off.
You can have surgery to replace it.
Once it happens, it's done, it's over.
But you won't be able to have function
of that arm like you normally would.
That muscle would not be able to contract.
It probably had a previous injury,
small tear or something that's not, you know,
obvious and then all of a sudden just gave out.
We'll see people that come to the emergency department
with muscle ruptures every now and then.
Typically it's from somebody who
is a little bit deconditioned,
somebody who hasn't been so active
and then all of a sudden they're being active again
and then things kind of rupture.
The muscles do that as well.
Oh, don't lock 'em out.
Oh, oh!
Didn't lock out, but legs given way.
Oh my gosh, not sure where the injury is.
Did he snap his femur?
Did it occur on the distal aspect?
So many different things that could happen
with that amount of weight.
Just be aware that lifting so heavy and so crazy
will potentially increase your risk of arthritis.
Putting some weight and stress on the joint is good.
Putting too much or excess can potentially lead
to further problems down the road.
Lifting is good.
Working out's great.
It actually helps to build bone and makes bones stronger.
Just be careful of your joints.
What I take out of this is just be careful, don't overdo it.
Work to progress to get stronger
and there's different ways to do it.
You don't just have to lift a crazy amount.
