A popular fitness influencer has died after breaking his neck during a July 15 visit to the gym.
Justyn Vicky, 33, was training at The Paradise Bali gym in Sanur, Indonesia, when a barbell weighing more than 450 lbs. fell on his neck, according to a report in The Daily Mail.
Under the supervision of a spotter, Vicky was doing squat presses — holding the barbell behind his neck and squatting — when the bar reportedly fell forward onto his neck.
The barbell caused “a broken neck and critical compression of vital nerves connecting to his heart and lungs,” the report said.

When it comes to taxing workouts, leg workouts are among the best. However, they come with risks. In Sep. 2021, powerlifting sensation Larry Wheels picked up a quad injury performing heavy squats on leg day.
