Beloved fitness influencer Justyn Vicky has died after a tragic accident.
The Indonesian workout guru sadly passed away following a trip to The Paradise Bali gym in Sanur, Indonesia last weekend, where he regularly trained. According to DailyMail.com, the 33-year-old was attempting a 450-lb squat press when things went horribly wrong. Word is, he bore the weight on his shoulders as he went down in the squat position, but when he attempted to press back up, the significant weight shifted the barbell forward, pinning him to the ground by his neck. He apparently did have a spotter, but the weight and sudden movement of the barbell were likely too much to handle alone.
Vicky was immediately rushed to the hospital with a broken neck and a severe compression of crucial nerves that connect to his heart and lungs, where he went in for emergency surgery. But despite the medical team’s best efforts, he died shortly after the operation.
