Breitbart: A Welsh weightlifter collapsed unconscious from lack of oxygen, after a failed attempt to lift a 353-pound barbell during Sunday’s 2018 Commonwealth Games at Carrara Stadium, in Carrara, Australia.
It appears that Joshua Parry, 27, didn’t properly breathe when starting his 160kg lift and the effort of his first jerk along with the bar coming to rest on his neck drove what little breath he still had right out of his lungs causing him to momentarily black out from lack of oxygen, The Sun reported.

I bet his butt turned inside out too
Made my eyes water. ….Lady in Red
Careful Brad don’t over do it. Don’t bust a gut with that shit.

I’ve just been doing Neked Yoga lately. It’s exhilarating.
353 lbs is a lot of weight to be cleaning. My guess is this guy got it cleaned and ran out of O2 getting ready to punch it. The video cut in after he had it cleaned. The worst I’ve ever seen was some big ass Samoan dude squatting around 800 pounds. As he was backing out of the squat rack he turned an ankle. You could hear bone breaking for 15 minutes.
Ha, they put up a tarp around him like they do around injured rodeo stock that vets put down. I bad.
Well, back in my younger days … aw bullshit … I never lifted 353 … benched 308 once … ONCE! Sore as hell for a week.
izlamo delenda est …
My doc told me to not to lift anything heavy.
That’s why I sit to pee.
Dumbass, not dumb bell.
Sorry about yer black panther party.
It happens. Rack the bar too far back where it’s pressing into your neck rather than resting appropriately across the front delts and top of the chest/collar area, and you can definitely make yourself black out like that with heavy enough weight.
It’s just the risk you take for doing something you enjoy, no different from knowing that if you race cars/bikes/etc. you can crash and burn, nothing I’ve ever found enjoyable was ever really a “safe” activity. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Not to mention, at least he was able to get out from under the bar before he lost consciousness. I’ve seen clips of people who didn’t get out in time, and I’ve wondered how they escaped without some seriously crippling damage.
Not nekked yoga with an AR-15? Why I’m shocked.

Actually I’ve made a lot of friends thru medical diagnosis. Why just this morning I told some lady “You should get that checked, it doesn’t look right”. Sometimes they thank me, other times I get slapped.
You never asked what was hanging out their ass, or is that too forward?😝
Cripes I would like to see most people pick up one 60 pound bag of concrete let alone six of them at once.
Hell, I threw my back out carrying groceries in from the car. That’s what I get for buying the 55-gallon drum full of margarine at Sam’s Club, I guess.
Thank goodness they were out of the larger sizes.
Why is this news? This happens dozens of times every day. Watch a few youtube videos and see.
