An Indonesian bodybuilder died in a violent and tragic weightlifting accident last weekend, reports the Bali Express.
Justyn Vicky was training at Paradise Gym in Bali when the tragedy struck. The 33-year-old athlete squatted and lifted 400-pound dumbbells, or almost 400 pounds. For security reasons, he was observed by a partner.
However, the bodybuilder failed to lift the barbell and fell forward, causing the barbells to break his neck and hit him in the head.
The athlete was taken to the hospital, where he unfortunately succumbed to his injuries.
Paradise Gym paid tribute to Justyn Vicky with a post shared on social media.
“Justyn was more than a coaching expert. He was a beacon of inspiration, motivation and support. We were deeply touched by her infectious energy and genuine passion for helping others transform their lives.
