skipping leg day ..not a good idea

I just watched that on replay about 6 times. I think it was the tendon below the knee - the patella tendon?

I'm confused too. I don't know what happened but looks kinda painful

Looks to be just above the knee to me. DId our resident MD @ZeroK confirm?

I kinda agree with Dr. @Rick James the patella tendon (which is technically a ligament as it connects bone to bone) looks like it may have ruptured. The other structures in the knee usually tear when u have all the weight on one leg and twist.

Would've been nice to see if he could stand on it because usually that's hard to do with a PT rupture. Also the patella almost always ends up above the knee joint as it's still attached to the tendon of the quadriceps femoris.

@Flatus Tube should be able to analyze it
In my opinion his ACLs have ruptured (anterior cruciate ligaments). There are two, anterior (front) and posterior (back) and they cross over each other inside the joint to prevent the femur falling forward or backward off the tibial plateau.

As they rupture his knee collapses downwards and then springs back with deformity to the visible knee. As he gets up at the end it appears he is able to use his quads a bit along with his arm so the patella tendons appear intact (plus the knee wouldn’t collapse with a PT rupture. See photos…

Also. He is clearly retarded. What a stupid way to work your quads and core!

This is the moment his knee collapses with the femur (thigh bone) dropping downwards.

Technically, he’s a gimp now

Damn doc, I'm making an appointment with you!! Do GG members get a discount? You have ortho background or just paid more attention then ZeroK?

It's a core exercise but the problem is he doesn't have properly developed hamstrings to support the knee with the kind of weight he is pulling, going way too hard too fast for where he is
 
I always used a decline bench. I’ve seen too many hilarious injuries in my career to risk it lol.
oh ya there's plenty of alternatives to this one but he's got no business with that kind of weight on him. he should be training the big 3 compound strength builders (deadlift, bench press, squat) with progressively heavier loads for a few years as a beginner to train his body to lay down more calcium on his bones by putting vertical load-bearing stress on his skeleton. he just hasn't adapted to the rigors of this kind of training yet. I'm 190 lbs (14% bf) and have been training for years and I wouldn't even touch this movement

Very good points. Although not the typical mechanism of injury for ACL/PCL tears the pic you've frozen looks like a positive Drawer Test. In person my next test would be the Lachman test as it's more specific for ACL tears than the Drawer test.

It's a good challenge trying to diagnose by video only. Not knowing his history leads to some speculation. He may have had recent knee surgery or even serial cortisone injections by an overly aggressive doc weakening the knee.
