The?bodybuilding?world is going through a tragic time because several talented bodybuilders have recently passed away. It all started with the demise of iconic bodybuilder and social media star Jo Lindner, who passed away due to an aneurysm. Recently, the industry also lost 51-year-old Gustavo Badell to a stroke. And the latest victim is 33-year-old Justyn Vicky, who passed away from a horrific accident in the gym.

As the bodybuilding community mourns the demise of a talented and young bodybuilder, bodybuilding coach Greg Doucette discusses the dangers of ego lifting. He did a video on this matter to stop anything like this from happening in the future to any other athlete.

Greg Doucette shares his sorrow and some safety insights after the tragic incident

The bodybuilding icon did a recent YouTube video talking about the precautions one should take before going for a challenging lift. Justyn Vicky collapsed after squatting with 450 pounds of weight on his shoulders. Looking into the videos that surfaced on the internet, Doucette explains the dangers and precautions one should take before such a difficult lift.

He is devastated by the news but still holds the notion that this tragic accident occurred due to ego lifting. Greg mentioned,?“With 205 kgs-450 pounds, it was simply too much for him on this day. Unless you are training for powerlifting, I see no reason to go for a one-rep max. It is far more likely to lead to injury.”

Doucette also added,?“Justyn Vicky had recognized just how dangerous the squat was.”?Greg pointed out that an Instagram account, @Gym.legends, allegedly said that Vicky knew how dangerous the exercise was and said so in a video on July 5th. According to Greg,?“Squatting within the racks would most certainly have prevented this tragic accident.”

All these aside, the bodybuilder did not blame the spotter but requested athletes have more than one spotter in these heavy-lifting cases.
