Justyn Vicky dies from freak accident after failing to perform 210kg squat press

The incident took place on July 15, at The Paradise Bali gym in Sanur, Indonesia, where Justyn also worked as a trainer. Vicky was performing a strength training session when he got ready to perform a dangerous 210kg squat press. Vicky lifted the weight and squatted down but while attempting to rise with the weight on his shoulders, he failed to stand up straight. Moreover, his spotter failed to help him up, following which the barbell and weights crashed on forward on Vicky’s neck.

As soon as the incident happened, the influencer was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries. According to reports, Justyn suffered a broken neck along with “critical compression of vital nerves” that connect to his organs. Surgeons at the hospital even performed an emergency operation on the bodybuilder, but it came to no avail.

Tributes pour in for Justyn Vicky

Following the news about the tragic death, fans and fellow athletes have started pouring in tributes and condolence messages on Vicky’s Instagram page. One user who trained under the deceased influencer stated:

He was always full of positive vibes and [made me stay] motivated. I’ll never forget his impact on my fitness journey. It’s a tough loss, but we’ll keep his spirit alive.”

The Paradise Bali gym, where Justyn worked at and also the same place where the tragci incident took place, released a message of support on Instagram, saying:

To our dear Justyn, your impact on our lives is immeasurable.”

“Your legacy will live on through the countless lives you’ve touched, the transformations you’ve inspired, and the love and passion you infused into every moment we spent together. Rest peacefully, dear friend. You will forever remain in our hearts.”

Justyn’s case does not come as entirely surprising as lifting heavy weights often comes with a certain risk. Back in January this year, a popular Twitch streamer named Mizkif dropped a 315 lbs bar on his chest while benching it. Although the streamer was fortunate enough to survive unscathed unlike Justyn, his accident was also a prime example of the dangers of lifting weights.
