Who doesn’t want to build a good body… and for this some people even sweat for hours inside the gym. But, sometimes doing excessive exercise or weight lifting becomes heavy for people. Something similar happened with a female powerlifter, who was lifting weights with rods and plates weighing about 167 kg, but suddenly the balance was disturbed and a major accident happened. To help the woman, the people standing near her in the gym immediately handled her and took her to the hospital, where the doctors told the woman after the X-ray what had happened to her.
According to the news of ‘The Sun‘, the matter is from North Carolina, where a female power lifter named Robyn Machado has told about this incident with her through a Tiktok video. In her video, this woman told that she has done even more heavy workouts before now, but such an accident has happened to her for the first time. This incident happened with this woman about 2 years ago and now after recovering, the woman has told people about it.
‘I thought maybe the rod is broken’ – Robyn Machado
While sharing the video, 35-year-old Robyn Machado said that like the rest of the day, she was doing weight lifting in the gym and the total weight of the plate including the iron rod was about 167 kg. Robyn said, ‘I was just doing weight lifting when suddenly there was a cracking sound of something breaking and the rod started falling down from my hand. Suddenly the pressure of the rod increased on my hands and when I heard the sound of something breaking, I thought – maybe the rod is broken.
‘When I looked at my arm, I saw that…’
Machado further said, ‘The people standing around to help me took care of me and when my eyes fell on my arm, I saw that a bone was in a condition to penetrate my skin. I was immediately shocked and started crying in panic. I didn’t feel any pain at that time. After this I was taken to the hospital, where the doctors did my X-ray and told that my radius bone of my forearm was broken.
‘Have also done weight lifting of up to 180 kg’
In the video, Robyn Machado said, ‘I have been lifting weights for the last 20 years and have done even more heavy workouts, but this has never happened to me. Earlier, I have also done weightlifting up to 180 kg. Robyn Machado is recovering now and this video of him has been viewed more than 20 million times so far.
Reasons for sharing the video
Referring to the reason for sharing the video, Robyn Machado said, ‘I want people to watch my video and understand that weight lifting can be done safely with less weight. But, often some people like me do weight lifting with excessive weight, which proves to be dangerous for them.
